The Marie Antoinette Diet is based on the eating habits of the 18th-century French queen and generations of French women since. A recipe for painless and delicious weight loss, it is peppered with interesting snippets of French history and served up with a lot of modern science. It is packed with useful tips and information, not just about weight loss, but for improving your overall health with some simple lifestyle changes.
The author, a cake-loving, former fashion and beauty editor, gained 10kg (1st 8lb) while living in France and was determined to lose it for health reasons. A light bulb moment occurred while reading a biography of Marie Antoinette. The French queen ate cake for breakfast and was fond of hot chocolate, but seems to have known instinctively what scientific studies have recently shown: for example, it is not what you eat, but when you eat it. Inspired by Marie Antoinetteβs eating habits, and using a recipe for the health-boosting βwonderβ soup that the queen ate for dinner every evening, the author created a diet that allowed her to lose 10kg in 10 weeks β while eating normally most of the time. No calorie counting, no food groups excluded and yes β if you follow a few simple rules β you can eat cake.
The Marie Antoinette Diet reveals:
β’ Why eating cake for breakfast promotes weight loss
β’ The benefits of a 12-hour night fast
β’ How to rejuvenate and re-energize your body
β’ Why diets that ban dessert are doomed to failure
β’ What we can learn from the 18th-century diet
⒠The centuries-old secrets of slimming à la française
β’ The recipe for Marie Antoinetteβs health-boosting βwonderβ soup
β’ How to kill cravings for junk food

β’ The βchill pillβ of the nutrient world
β’ The (deeply unfashionable) meat that can help weight loss
β’ The fats that you should be eating (theyβre not the ones that you might think)
β’Nutritious and slimming soups for every season
