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?

What a great read. I picked up this book at a used-book sale while only attracted to its seemingly "girly" cover and a much reduced price of $1 - thinking that it's probably some entertaining beach read of some French-related novel from which my brain coul...
評分這大概就是我從書中看到的。 不是一種飲食文化,而是一種生活態度。 要注意生活中的每一刻,尊重吃下去的每一餐,而非隨隨便便打發。 大概算是對食物的敏感力吧,某種程度上和日本人很像。 結果看瞭以後的這幾天都是按著書中菜譜自己做飯,的確很有收獲啊 作者在書末的列...

評分the highlights are hidden in the last chapters, but at least there were enough to make the book worthwhile.
評分這本書裏麵有一個超級簡單(食材簡單,步驟也簡單)的baguette recipe,豬寶每次做都成功,好好吃!
評分雖然語氣裏滿是一個身在社會收入頂層的女人的不屑與傲慢 但是畢竟是唯一治好瞭我高中大學時候暴食癥的秘訣。時不時翻一翻調整心態很有效。估計會留一輩子。
