It's a diet based on eating for pleasure and portion control. Experts explain how it works. As you read this remember that in some other countries women have this mindset that above all they want to be beautiful. In this country most girls have different aspirations. If you have ever wondered how the French manage to eat cheese, butter, baguettes, and drink wine while staying slim, then French Women Don't Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure, by Frenchwoman Mireille Guiliano, may be the book for you.

Upon embracing the eating habits of French women, she restored her shape with a new understanding of food, drink, and lifestyle that she ...

If you want to lose weight, please see a doctor first, even if it's a doctor or nurse at a local clinic. First of all, because you have a flabby stomach doesn't necessarily mean you need to lose weight. Being flabby might mean that you need to work out. If your waist measures one half your height, then your pretty much in proportion. You have to be careful losing weight, you can lose more muscle then fat and end up ruining your health or end up pear shaped. When seeing a doctor though, remember that his motives for you losing weight are a little different than your. He wants your to improve your health and doesn't care how you look in that new two piece you just bought. But if your not going to feel better, increase your energy level and fit into some better clothes than what's the point. Over the past few years it has become clear that weight is an important health issue. Being overweight is a risk factor for health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, hi...

This is a great post I found. It could be a simple answer to your weight problem. My wife uses Probiotics for a digestive problem but a side benefit is the weight she lost. She believes that her diet takes the credit, but could it be the probiotics? A study published on September 5th 2013, suggests that a person’s intestinal flora determines a person’s body shape and metabolism rate. Wow! And all along I thought a pear shape and a slow metabolism was from my mom’s side of the family. In this particular study “…four sets of identical female twins in which one twin was lean and the other obese…” provided stool samples to collect…” bacteria, viruses and protozoans” which were transplanted into a large group of mice. “Almost immediately, the mix of living organisms inside a mouse’s digestive tract began to resemble the one inside its human donor. Soon the mice came to resemble more and more the women whose gut microbiomes they had adopted. Despite eating about the same amount of the same...

I love this site, WEBMD.COM has great ideas for keeping you healthy. I saw this one on brown bagging today. Yes you can save money, but the real plus is that you know what your eating and how it was made. The biggest mistake we all make is to take the easy way out and just grab something at the cafeteria or a fast food drive thru. That's the way we pack on the calories and don't realize it. Remember your maximum calories per day. 2000 for a man 1500 per day for a woman. Packing healthy lunches and snacks to take to work or school offers many benefits. Healthy brown-bag meals can reduce fat, calories, and sodium in our diet, improving overall health. Smart choices can help us maintain a healthy weight. And brown-bag lunches just may improve your child’s IQ. According to research published online in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, a diet high in fat, sugar, and processed food starting at age 3 may lower IQ in later childhood, while a diet packed with whole ...

I eat Chia Seeds and I thing they give me nutrition that I'm missing in my diet and the extra fiber I need, but you have to try them your self. I think that they do curb my appetite. I eat Chia Seeds in the morning and again in the afternoon. I mix the with yogurt or just put them in a glass of water or lemonade. I use 2 teaspoons but I've read you should use two tablespoons. If your serious about losing weight, read about them, there's lots of info on the internet. You decide, I spend about $10 a pound for Chia, you can pay more in the packet or less in bulk, but I think I save the money in food cost. I found the following info on the web, but there's a lot more. Most dietitians tell us eating a balanced diet and exercising daily is the key to a slimmer bod, but according to Doctor Oz, there’s a little known secret that could make dieting easier–called chia seeds. “The chia seeds are “super” because, like a superfruit, they deliver the maximum amount of nutrients with...

Did you know that almost 25% of your daily calories come from beverages. In the summer it might be more. We always try and drink more in the summer, to stay hydrated. I know you can get bored with water. I try to drink 64 oz. of water every day and I get bored with it. Soda is not the answer and many of us are finding that out. Sales of soda have fallen dramatically in the past few years. Big soda companies are scrambling to gain that market share back. Ice tea drinks were the big sellers last year and they continue to gain market share at a double digit pace. Even the sodas with no calories aren't hurting sales of ice tea drinks. Water is still the best for you and whether you drink water from the frig and buy it in the bottle, plain water is the healthiest drink. I try to drink plain water all morning long until I get tired of it and then I switch to tea. One trick to help with weight loss is to drink two glasses of water before a meal. It helps you feel full and you'll ...

You want to get back to a healthy weight, but some people have been overweight for so long they don't know what their normal weight is. For the person who just doesn't know where to start, I recommend you set a small goal of 10 pounds. Lose the 10 and keep it off for 2 weeks and then work on 10 more. The second 10 will be harder and take longer, but by this time you should be feeling a little better and want to lose more. Now that you lost the first 10 and you want to lose more, you'll have to do some exercise. If your not use to exercise you have to start slow. I recommend walking. A goal of 5 miles a day is what you want to achieve. But you want to start out doing about 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. It's easy if you have a dog. Take the dog for a walk at night. An after dinner walk will help you digest your meal, help the dog exercise, and help you. If the dog can only walk 15 or 20 minutes at first, you can both build up to 30 minutes. Don't give up because ...
