<b>Book Description</b>
From the author of “The Fat Fallacy“ comes a practical, ten-step plan to adopt French habits of eating slower and eating sumptuously for effortless weight loss and lifelong health.
By now we know that French women don''t get fat. But how do you incorporate these ideas into a busy American day? An award-winning neuroscientist, Dr. William Clower has spent several years studying the skinny secrets of the French. Now, in The French Don''t Diet Plan, Dr. Clower shows how pounds melt off as you replace low-calorie “faux foods“ with rich, real meals and a fast-paced lifestyle with eating for pleasure, in 10 easy, leisurely steps. French living is not about dieting--it''s about how you eat. That means paying attention to the taste, pacing, and enjoyment of your meals, instead of counting calories, cutting fat and carbs, or taking guilt trips to the gym. A back-to-basics, no-deprivation approach to get thin for life, The French Don''t Diet Plan is essential fare for anyone interested in adopting the French diet and lifestyle.

Wouldn’t you rather savor a buttery croissant instead of inhaling an artificially flavored diet shake? 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.

<b>From <i>Publishers Weekly</i></b>
While it may have once been true that the French have no weight problems, that''s no longer the case: at the current rate, the French could be as fat as Americans by 2020. Neurophysiologist Clower (The Fat Fallacy) acknowledges only research supporting his premise, however, in this more pragmatic version of the bestselling French Women Don''t Get Fat. Clower picks apart our bad habits and replaces them with healthier (and, incidentally, “French“ ones), pushing, for instance, the French habit of obtaining calcium from food rather than supplements, quoting data indicating supplements are linked to kidney stones. In another example, he pits the French practice of eating butter against the American penchant toward margarine, citing butter as healthier. He later admits this is only true if you eat a little butter (eat a little margarine and the results will be similar). And so it goes throughout this sentimental homage to the French. The advice is, at heart, sound: eat fresh foods and smaller portions, and exercise more. Readers who would like to accomplish this nibbling Camembert while walking along the Seine will be pleased, although a stroll through the American food pyramid will net similar, though admittedly less romantic, results.
