Isn’t taking a relaxing stroll preferable to pounding out
early morning miles on the treadmill? The French live this
way, yet stay thin and healthy. Now, with The French Don’t
Diet Plan, you can, too! In his groundbreaking book, The Fat Fallacy, Dr. Will Clower
was the first to present a theory of how the French maintain
low obesity and heart disease rates despite their seemingly
“unhealthy” lifestyle. Dr. Clower learned that the French
don’t worry about dieting but rather are more concerned with
how they eat. That means paying attention to the taste,
pacing, and enjoyment of meals, instead of counting
calories, cutting fat and carbs, or taking guilt trips to
the gym. With The PATH, his revolutionary weight-loss plan, Dr.
Clower has helped thousands of people lose weight, lower
cholesterol, and increase energy. Now, in The French Don’t
Diet Plan, Dr. Clower shows how easy it is to incorporate
his remarkably effective techniques and the French lifestyle
into a busy American day. Dr. Clower has found that natural foods have overwhelmingly
been pushed out of the American diet by what he calls “faux
foods”: processed, additive-filled convenience products,
often marketed as healthy with buzzwords like low fat and
low carb. In addition, mealtimes should be a slow, sensual
break for the body and mind—not a face-stuffing frenzy while
standing up in the kitchen or sitting behind the wheel. As a
result of such habits, Dr. Clower says, we are not eating
what our bodies need, and we’re eating in a way that is not
conducive to proper digestion. Science shows this precise
combination of factors causes weight gain. The French approach is about taking the time to enjoy real
food without guilt or deprivation. Not only a successful
path to becoming thin for life, The French Don’t Diet Plan
will help you put joie de vivre back into your relationship
with food.
