About This Book
The Secret of Eating For Pleasure!
Stylish, convincing, wise, funny, and just in time: the ultimate non-diet book,
which could radically change the way you think and live.
French women don't get fat, but they do eat bread and pastry, drink wine, and
regularly enjoy three-course meals. In her delightful tale, Mireille Guiliano
unlocks the simple secrets of this 'French paradox", how to enjoy food and stay
slim and healthy. Hers is a charming, sensible, and powerfully life-affirming
view of health and eating for our times.
As a typically slender French girl, Mireille (Meer-ray) went to America as an
exchange student and came back fat. That shock sent her into an adolescent
tailspin, until her kindly family physician, "Dr. Miracle," came to the rescue.
Reintroducing her to classic principles of French gastronomy plus time-honored
secrets of the local women, he helped her restore her shape and gave her a whole
new understanding of food, drink, and life. The key? Not guilt or deprivation
but learning to get the most from the things you most enjoy. Following her own
version of this traditional wisdom, she has ever since relished a life of
indulgence without bulge, satisfying yen without yo-yo on three meals a day.
Now in simple but potent strategies and dozens of recipes you'd swear were
fattening, Mireille reveals the ingredients for a lifetime of weight control,
from the emergency weekend remedy of Magical Leek Soup to everyday tricks like
fooling yourself into contentment and painless new physical exertions to save
you from the StairMaster. Emphasizing the virtues of freshness, variety,
balance, and always pleasure, Mireille shows how virtually anyone can learn to
eat, drink, and move like a French woman.
A natural raconteur, Mireille illustrates her philosophy through the experiences
that have shaped her life, a six-year-old's first taste of Champagne, treks in
search of tiny blueberries (called myrtilles) in the woods near her
grandmother's house, a near-spiritual rendezvous with oysters at a seaside
restaurant in Brittany, to name but a few. She also shows us other women
discovering the wonders of "French in action," drawing examples from dozens of
friends and associates she has advised over the years to eat and drink smarter
and more joyfully.
Here are a culture's most cherished and time-honored secrets recast for the
twenty-first century. For anyone who has slipped out of her zone, missed the
flight to South Beach, or accidentally let a carb pass her lips, here is a
buoyant, positive way to stay trim. A life of wine, bread, even chocolate,
without girth or guilt, Pourquoi pas?
