The Fat Fallacy

page 2 of 2 (p1)

Eat Slowly
Eating too quickly makes you fat for two reasons:
1. The "full" signal is delayed.
2. Your appetite keeps adapting to the larger amounts you eat.

Put less food on your plate than you think will be enough. Take smaller bites. Put the fork down in between each bite. Chew slowly and savor each bite. Love your food. Do this, and you will eat smaller portions and feel satisfied!

Eat Fat!
Fat is filling. You can eat a small amount of full fat cheese, or a large piece of non-fat or low fat cheese, and the full fat version will probably be more satisfying. You will be less likely to overeat. Choose healthy fats, such as olive oil, and avoid margarines or most low-fat products with fillers. Consume moderate amounts of fats in your diet, which may be around 35% fat. Some of the ideas in this book will take getting used to. We can understand that butter may be a better choice than margarine. However, we are also asked to give up skim milk and gradually increase the fat level to whole milk. The reason? Whole fat milk stays with you longer, so you are less likely to snack later.

Eat Bread
Yep, good old fashioned white bread. However, read the label and make sure it is natural bread without a lot of additives. You can also eat whole wheat bread, but white bread is not taboo in France.

Eat Meat
Choose fish first, then chicken, lean pork, and red meat last. Only eat red meat once every two weeks.

Fresh Veggies and Fruits
Enjoy fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as nuts, herbs, and dress them with vinegar and oils.

What to Avoid
If it ain't food, don't eat it! Clower stresses the importance of avoiding faux foods. These are chemical laden, artificial foods that fill the supermarket shelves. Go to your pantry and read a few labels. More than likely, you will encounter a lot of words you cannot pronounce, let alone define. If it isn't a food, don't eat it. Natural foods are going to be best for you. Faux foods usually contain things we don't need, such as excess sugars or trans fatty acids. The French diet is centered around real food, which is what we are after.

Exercise
Clower tells us that the French don't focus much on exercise, and this is where he disagrees. He recommends exercise because we need it to stay fit, raise our metabolism, and maintain weight loss. The French may get more daily exercise in the form of walking, where we tend to get from point A to point B in a car.

We can't always duplicate the lifestyle of another culture. However, we can adapt the healthier aspects to our own lives, and benefit from them whenever possible. The French diet includes more details than we have mentioned in this review. We recommend you pick up a copy of The Fat Fallacy, or another book on the French diet. You may never have to count another fat gram, calorie, or carb again!
