French Women Don’t Get Fat
by Mireille Guilano

Key take-aways:

1) Stay hydrated

2) Practice awareness, planning, and moderation

3) The right types of snacking are good, such as nuts, which are filled with micronutrients and fat (long-term energy)

4) Eating at home makes it easier to eat the right foods

5) Be active, whether it’s walking to run errands or exercising at the gym

6) However, exercise isn’t the holy grail to weight loss; you must reduce intake of carbs (thus reducing your insulin secretion)

7) Consider your food and eating habits to be an esthetic experience; eat for pleasure, rather than mindlessly

8) Self-motivation and self-responsibility are essential to creating and maintaining the optimal you

9) Avoid the self-sacrificial ritual of “diets” (and the eventual relapse from them)

10) Be mindful of procrastination…

11) In order to resolve self-conflicting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, it’s vital introspect and explore your subconscious via sentence completion exercises (found in the Addendum of our book Healthy Mind, Fit Body)

Once again, too many “experts” are leading people astray about how to lose weight, by promoting the calorie and/or exercise theories

Hi guys,

I just wanted to comment on the remark you guys made while reiterating ideas in the book, Why French Women Don’t Get Fat, on why the French limiting the work week to 35 hours per week. It has been my understanding that it is for economic reasons, not health or trying to limit their citizen’s sense of self motivation. The idea being that the bottom line is that the work needs to get done, and by limiting each person to 35 hours per week, a greater number of people can become employed, and that will, in turn, benefit the French society as a whole. I love the show, keep making more of these, please!

  Thanks, Chris. Glad you’re enjoying our perspective. I’m sure there are lots of good intentions for the required work plan over there, but it’s unfortunate that it’s not left up to the personal and business decisions of individuals; we’re all individuals, after all. :) Intrinsic processes of motivation (e.g., self-awareness, genuine desire, and self-regulation) lead to the most responsible (and healthy) behavior.
