I have the book and was ready to try it until I found there is an induction to it. I can not remember how long you have to eat a certain way and take vitamins. The jest of the book is portion control. We Americans already knew that right? I am on Weight Watchers myself. Just started the program and believe me when I say all WW is, is portion control.

I've heard in my French classes that French people eat very rich foods, but they are more fit than Americans because their portions are a lot smaller.

i actually seen it on a talk show, it may have been oprah.
i think it is how french woman stay so thin is because they do not over indulge in food, they like to taste there food, unlike americans i guess we just eat w/big bites and they take little bites.
Seriously this is what i seen on the talk show.

yes, I also think I saw this on Ophah. I think they eat slower and take longer lunch hours. They are not in a big hurry when it comes to eating. They savor every morsel of food is what I can remember.

basically portion control with some more restrictions and specifics at first. a friend lost quite a bit on this diet a few months ago, but....the last times I saw her, it was back on.
