She did one a few years ago.
Greek subs please??
Thank you 💕
I’d love to see some of your go to favourite weekday meals ❤
Yes please, me too!
Visiting my daughter who lives in France, I totally agree with everything in this video. I ate the bread, the gravies, the cheese, meats, and WINE! And guess what, I actually lost weight! WALKING WALKING WALKING was the magic bullet!
Thank you for sharing x
The same thing happened to me, last year. I was in France and I really enjoyed the food there. I got back home and noticed, I had lost weight. We did a lot walking!!
I moved to major city with no car and walked everywhere. Lost more weight in this one year than ever before. Daily activity changed my life.
Yes, all my life I've been such a big eater and I eat about 4 times the amount of what my siblings and mom eats, but I am not fat and they are slim. I was never slim in my younger days I was really skinny where my bones would protrude, I have always been muscular somehow and people would always think that I go to the gym rigorously, but I don't even go to the gym and just walk everywhere. If it's 30 minutes walk or less I just walk there, so it gives about an hour or less both ways.
O word
I think they pump too many growth hormones in the food here in the us. I grew up in the Netherlands, and whenever I visit, I am eating the same amount of food and I lose 10 lbs within a week. Here in the US, I eat the same food, and exercise 5 times a week, and feel bloated and sick and cannot -sorry- go to the bathroom for three days.
This is the real reason bc she didn’t really give any “secrets”. Walking definitely helps but it’s more so the quality of food.
they put more than growth hormones into our food!
Plus in France GMO is not allowed, so they are not having poisonous food
yes they do.@@liakogogidze2933
Yes, correct. So have compassion on Americans as many have no idea the food is poisoned. About the 1990s we saw a change in our health and foods. The food even fruits and vegetables don't taste the same. But many are trying to educate Americans to be aware. Even our organic grown foods are gased before travel to stores or restaurants.
when I asked my French friend how she stays so thin, she answered “mange pas dans le matin” (don’t eat in the morning) and I always see her moving…cooking, cleaning, dancing, walking, working. She never sits. Also, when she does eat, she eats anything, but it is small portions…so equivalent to intermittent fasting, staying active, and watching calorie intake
..who cares...if they smoke ladies they are simply...NO!
Some people cannot be without food in the morning. Everyone is different. It's called fasting. You can be a few hours without food, just liquids, but search for medical advice so you won't have bad side effects or can correct them.

Vinegar before meals....😮
Jesse Inchauspe principle - Glucose Goddess
@@kateoc8 Vinaigrette dressing on your salad. Or some vinegar in a glass of water prevents glucose spikes.
That last phrase is so on point! I’m colombian and I live in the US. I have not gained weight because I eat mostly only what I cook, basically I mostly eat food made with love as the one my mom cooked for me in my country
When I visited France for 3 weeks in 2019. We did a LOT of walking, about 20k to 30k steps per day. I ate a lot of pastries for breakfast and went home having lost some weight. I loved that life.
yeah, a life when you don't have a job and can wander around the whole day? who wouldn't like it, duh
I live in the US and lost 100 lb and kept for years. You can do it anywhere in the world. If you eat junk food you need to compensate with healthy food and exercise of any kind. Keep moving.
I used to live in France. Traditionally, French women did their shopping each day for the meals for that day. That way, everything is fresh. Fresh food is more nutritious and tastier. Many Americans have piles of food in the fridge and don't shop with meals in mind. In France, kids were not allowed to raid the fridge. Because everything in the fridge is something that mom planned for meals. So, that means no snacking. A lot of Americans are constantly grazing throughout the day. France does not have the same zoning we do, so there are stores nearby that you can walk to usually. Their traditional towns were designed for walking, not for driving. And they have fewer convenience stores/gas stations than we do, where people buy junk food. The U.S. was more traditional until about 50-60 years ago, but the French have preserved their traditions more, but this is changing and they are starting to eat and act more like Americans.
Japan is similar. When I lived there I walked everywhere and was fit. When I came back to the US, I gained weight because I drove everywhere.
I'm British-Nigerian, and in my Nigerian culture, my goodness...its like "eat eat eat, the fatter the better, the fatter the healthier, the fatter the curvier" and then many Nigerian people suffer from high blood pressure and diabetes. I am 5,7 and weigh like 60kg...I am UK size 8, I am toned and I have no obvious 'fat deposits'. I will eat the sauce on the sauce and the butter on the butter croissant. I will eat EVERYTHING and I will feel like dying from eating, I roll out of the chair. BUT like you said, balance. The next day after eating a lot, I'm not hungry, still like I'm digesting so I won't eat anything - just drink water and herbal tea until I feel empty again (maybe this takes until dinner time the next day). Then I will eat like normal, lots of salad and vegetables (I LOVE salads!). I LOVE to walk and hike. There's no secret diet. It's just, listen to your body, don't restrict and don't overindulge every single day. Thank you for this video!
FYI: Also My husband is Italian - YOU EAT BREAD WITH PASTA, you do the scarpetta!
Do you have instagram you sound lovely!!
Foods like butter, meat and cheese has been demonised, but it is good animal fat and nourishing.
true
My New Zealand family spent 4 months in the US a few years ago. On our first day in a small NorthEastern town, I walked wirh my 3 children into the town centre. In our 20-30 minute walk, we had 4-5 cars pull over next to us and the driver asked if we were ok 😂😂😂😂. I appreciate the concern, but walking shouldn't be so alarming.
That’s hilarious
The infrastructure in most of our cities for walking is terrible. I live in a suburb of Houston tx.
Would love to see a "what I eat in a day" video from you! 🙂
Can we talk for a minute about how many streets in Paris are steps!
Noted!
Just move during the day and learn HOW TO COUNT CALORIES !
Thank you for sharing these tips.
I’m so happy to watch these types of videos from you. Your personal style and lifestyle tips are priceless. One woman commented that she would like to see what you eat in a day and another woman said you made one of those videos. It was a little while ago though. A lot of people make videos on what they eat in a day and each time it’s a little bit different because this is true, we all eat something a little bit different every day in someway or another and all of those videos would be so interesting especially when it’s you. You’re so charming and I love to listen to what you have to say. This is my long way of saying yes I would like to see a video on what you eat in a day, a new one, and I would love to see some more clothing advice because your fashion style is my favorite of anyone here in TH-cam 100 times over.
I recently spent a week visiting family in France, I ate more meals than I eat at home. Drank champagne everyday and ate deserts after every dinner. I was 3 lbs lighter when I got home. Honestly I think it’s the quality of food, and portions. Between the aperitif and the entree, by the time it’s time for main course and desert there’s only so much you can eat.
Oh and a lot of walking, I believe that helps.
The quality is key… Italy too… food is unprocessed and organic, you get full faster and there is so much to see so you walk a lot
Less processed food and there isn’t gluten in some of the deserts
I think also the pace of the meals. When you take two hours for a meal your body really has time to feel full. It gave me a better sense of how much I actually wanted/needed to eat. I spent a month in the south of France, and went almost a month without eating red meat before I noticed. All the food was so rich and flavorful, I didn't miss it.
EXACTLY!! Portion control and a long time to eat. Not watching TV or eating fast. It takes at least 20 minutes for your brain to recognise your stomach is full.
Love the video, I am from Italy but I live in the US. So this is my take: 30 yrs ago, when I moved to the US, I noticed immediately the portions, the shopping carts, the croissants size, the cappuccino size, the pantries size, the fridges size...I think you get the point.Everything is huge. I remember asking early on my US adventures for "mini" croissants because, and I had to explain it so many times, the croissants I was used to in Italy were half to 1/3 the size of the American ones. Well, I stopped asking because hardly anyone had them.
yes US portions are quite large compared to other countries & the food is not as healthy
True to a point; we refrigerate everything and take less frequent trips to the grocery store. As I understand it, in Europe they do not refrigerate beverages, they don't have icemakers which take up a lot of refrigerator room, and they buy fresh meats, breads, etc. daily. But in any city that requires walking instead of driving, you will see slimmer people. I believe frequent, daily walking might be the biggest contributor to staying slim!
true the portions in europe are 'normal' if you want to reduce your food intake change the plates' size :)
Same here. 25 years in the US now from the near BeNeLux area in Germany. Portions were and still are mind-blowing. Doggie bags are the usual thing and friends know and give me theirs ( they only get them to give to me🙂). A, a matter of not wasting food and eating what one paid for
B, small portions make a HUGE difference. Ciao from North Texas,👋
I agree the US has gotten worse over the last 30 years. Obesity in children and adults is off the charts. It will be our downfall, if we don’t get away from the huge portions and processed food..❤
I am Portuguese. I love good food. Portuguese food is amazing. I never weigh myself. I don't do botox or fillers. And being too thin is not what I like. I don't need a six pack, I am not a man. Many french women smoke, which keeps them looking slim, but they are not healthier than Americans. Same thing with European men in general. American women and men look younger as well, though perhaps not as slim in general. In general, American men are better looking than french men. Europeans age more drastically. I know my opinion is not popular, but I wanted to share anyway. I have traveled a lot and lived in a few different countries. I live in the USA now. Don't diet. Eat in moderation and be active. Enjoy life as much as possible by appreciating the small simple pleasures, family, and friends. 😊
@@user-ko5ng3lm1z American men are corn fed. Love those country boys! LOL!
Thanks for a good word about Americans. Sometimes TH-cam beats us up.
I’m learning a lot about diet from Frédérique and the comments from Europeans. Love to All! 🌎
I am European as well. And I must agree, American men age better. Maybe it's because they take care of their teeth. I've noticed that it's important to them. In Europe, men don't do that. Plus European men wear skinny jeans and I just can't fathom a men skinner than me!!! I like how American men dress, shorts, t shirt, much much more masculine. That might not be a popular opinion but oh well. It is what it is.
Walking “naturally “ is so underrated in the United States. Not sure about other countries. But it makes a HUGE difference. Walking to make groceries, go to parks, see friends nearby. These simple things can be life changing. And went I started eating a combination of 5 servings of fruit and vegetables each day years ago, my whole body felt so sound. Great tips in this video!
You make a great point, and how easily I have forgotten that important fact! Thank you for the reminder! I am going to get my butt off the chair and get walking, right NOW!
USA is not designed for walking except few exceptions like Manhattan, and similar. I do not live in USA but I choose remote and isolated place for living and you have to go everywhere with car :(.
I lived in the US for 12 years and struggled to find places to walk due to no sidewalks or living off of a freeway. I used to see groups of walkers walking the shopping malls or around the track of a high school. Now back in Europe I love walking in the countryside and around villages now. I think America is not designed for walking unless you are in a city.
thank you for sharing
i walk everywhere but i haven't noticed a difference in weight loss.
On average, I walk 12.000-16.000 steps a day in Paris. There is your explanation ;)
I walked everywhere in my 20s. I even used to walk back from parties in other parts of my town at all hours of the morning. But I worry about my safety walking everywhere now, even during the day-time. I had an abusive ex and always worry that if I'm not in the car, he could approach me and do me harm. It's such a shame because walking was truly the magic bullet for maintaining a healthy weight.
Perhaps if you walked with a large dog you would feel safer.
I get you, I go to walk only during the times of the day when it's busy outside, where I know there's enough people. It sucks cause my ideal times to go out and enjoy the city would be the least safest. I'll buy a tapis roulant in the near future as well, maybe something that doesn't need a lot of space and that I can use while watching the TV. I saw also some walk on the spot tutorials here as well, not my cup of tea but worth mentioning.
@@bibinb7 Thanks, yeah, it's just a shame because walking places combines the utility of getting from A to B with staying in shape, not to mention it costs way less money than maintaining a car. I live in a pedestrian-friendly, small city, and 5 minutes walk from the city centre, so it was perfect. I wish I could still walk everywhere, but I simply don't trust people anymore. I will still walk in the very city centre, of course. But there is a large shopping park 10 minutes away, the route is quite isolated so I don't walk there any more.
Get a treadmill! or a spin bike, thats what I do in the winter. summer i ride outside on the trails with my husband.
Rebounder! Especially good for lymphatic drainage.
french women do smoke a lot, but i think the biggest reason is indeed the walking and all of the STAIRS, especially in Paris. Its common for people to live on the 5th floor and not have an elevator 😅 Whenever I am in Paris I walk about 30 km PER DAY! ❤
A pound of fat and a pound of muscle weigh exactly the same. Muscle just takes up so much less space than fat. Women get so crazy about numbers on the scale when it means nothing. It’s the muscle to body fat ratio, and how your body functionally moves that is important.
I love your videos.
The fact that you had to point out that pounds of 2 substances weigh the same shows how crazy people have become 😂😂
This is absolutely true! I weigh at my best weight, 175 lbs, am 5 feet 5 inches and can fit into a size 6 or 8, yet many of my girfriends are between 125 and 140 and wear sized from 12 to 16! I got sick some years ago with gastritis and could only eat applesauce, banana and rice. I went down to 140 lbs. I looked like Skeletor! Nobody believes me when I weigh myself. I am lucky I build muscle easily and , as a Senior age 63, I make sure I eat lots of protein. I ride my bike and walk. I no longer go to gym. my bodyfat percentage is 33%, and I'm ok with that. at my age, its actually lower than the norm...I will say though, that I have a very large bust, and, I actually weighed each breast by placing my scale on the kitchen table, and , omg, each of my DDD weighs over 2 and a half lbs! so there's 5 lbs right there!
Muscle is more dense than fat. 1 lb of muscle takes up less space than 1 lb of fat.
The scale is just a little help to check once in a whlie if you're doing the right or the wrong thing. It's not a miracle. But it helps to keep guard for many. Your tighter clothes or jeans can tell you as well if you put on weight.
I eat butter, cream, cake, whatever I want and I’m not overweight. I walk everywhere (city living) and practice extreme portion control. It’s all about moving around and with food, how much not what it is. I also don’t own a scale, scales lead to weight obsession. Obsession leads to unhappiness.
What you eat, you must burn. As simple as that. Plus good genes help as well. It may change when you get older because your metabolism slows down.
Fabulous video - I’ve lost 25 kilos the last 12 months following these principles - protein fibre good fats lots of water, long walks and strength training 2-3 times per week - thank you Cherie x
Keep it up
Woe, congrats 🎉 is not easy u had lots of discipline 👏
I grew up in Manhattan. Everything you do, everywhere you go, requires walking. If you are going somewhere- you walk a brisk 10-15 minutes to your subway station, you get out and then walk to your destination, then walk back to your subway, get out and walk back to your apartment. It’s non stop. We grow up with it and accept it because it’s the only life we have- until we move to other states where every activity requires driving. Now THAT is weird.
& it is quite rare to see a fat person in Manhattan
When I visited London and Paris this past June I averaged 40,000 steps/day. Didn’t use taxis or public transport, just my feet. That’s the best way to see a place. I was with a gourmet cook and I eat very little, but we were splitting food bills 50/50 so I ate. …..and ate and ate. I thought sure I’d gain 10 pounds, but instead I lost 3. Now back home I only mange 10-15,000 steps/day and my weight goes up and down even though I don’t eat much. I just wish I had time to do 40,000 steps every day but ……I also have a life. 😂
wow you walk a lot! good on you
Dont smoke, vape.
Before a celebratory meal, eat light for a few days.
Indukgeht bread ahd psstry based breakfasts are on Sundays, not daily.
Not necessarily sporty, but go to the gym, do pressups etc at home, or other enjoyable sport like swimmimg and diving and dancing.
Living in glamorous cities, public transport and walking (rather than driving) keeps people slim.
Dont weigh daily, measure waist, arms, thighs intermittently.
Another exercise tip... Move for at least twenty minutes a day.
No snacking between meals...do not snsck!
For a sweet craving, have yoghurt.
Ice cream or a full baguette...Do not eat in from of tv and go for a walk afterwards.
Do not keep junk food in the house.
Carbs are ok, but you have to build muscle wuth ecercise if you are going to eat them and burn them off.
Eat vegetables with every meal.
Poop a lot by eating enough fibre.... At least once a day.
Vinegars and a little olive oil snd lenon juice as salad dressing.
Never drink alcohol on an empty stomach
Eat healthy fats daily avacado oily fish etc
Eat protein daily eg eggs etc
Exercise after indulging
Eat at the table
Drink heaps of water
Not sure you are hungry? Drink water and wait thirty minutes
In supermarket, dont go down junk food Isles... Dont put yhe junk in yhe trolley, dont buy it.
Track what you eat so you are aware and can balance things out.
Stretch.
Be consistent in your habits.
Speak to a professional if you are overweight and need help eg dietician, nutritionist, doctor
Keep long term healthy aging in mind.
My comment: it's not hard. What a lot of common sense, thank you. Dont buy crappy foods, eat mindfully, move yoir body often, and sometimes travk what you eat so you can balance overindulgence with other days of eating light and moving more! ( Unfortunately, of you already have disbetes, obesity, prediabetes, you might need a more extreme approach initially to get weoght off). Then maintain like this. Fab video 🙏
She's really nice , tres sympa as they said but thanks for getting into trouble and writing the tips down, it's much easier 😊
Italians are very similar. I'm now living in Tokyo and people here are walk everywhere all the time and also have a philosophy of eating a balanced diet.
xxx
I do many of these habits, and I’m the slimmest one in my family. I just try and stay active, and eat lots of veggies and fruit on a daily basis, so when it comes time for a big meal (like thanksgiving) or a date night I can splurge a little. I also have a little piece of chocolate every night after dinner.
I don’t deprive myself, just try and crowd out the bad stuff with the healthier options.
It’s not a difficult to maintain lifestyle, it’s just a bit difficult to get the change started. Once you make those healthier changes your body makes it so difficult to go back to unhealthy habits, because you feel so crappy when you do.
I was 28lbs overweight last year. And felt miserable. I switched to a high protein diet, With regular meals, I’m almost at my ideal weight....and it’s been a struggle. Thanks SO much Frederique for the encouragement x
I m Greek living in France and I love this country,one thing for sure ,french people eat anything but in one quarter of the portion of Mediterranean pple and they pay attention to quality of the ingredients they live the quality not quantity in all situations so chic ✨💫
A whole food plant based diet (oil-free) helped me overcome decades of binge-eating disorder and I've now maintained my slim weight for almost 4 years eating LOTS of delicious healthy food and my cravings for trigger foods have gone (but don't bring them into the house!). Because I eat a lot of food, my tummy is full and I don't snack or crave junk between meals. I would recommend pcrm and Chef AJ's YT channels for trustworthy advice.
American bread is not European bread. We’ve added fillers so when sliced, it doesn’t mold or show age, and it causes weight gain.
Wow I didn’t know that
Preservatives and sugar. Why does bread need sugar? I make my own. It tastes better than anything I can buy and only takes a few minutes here and there.
@@alcogito8287 It's for the yeast to eat.
Our British and Australian neighbors asked why we put sugar in our bread. Until they mentioned this about the supermarket varieties, we hadn't noticed it.
Yes, you are right. When i Was in US i was shocked about the "bread" on my eyes it was no Real bread . I've always been afraid that Europeans or Germans would adapt American food at some point. The huge pack sizes alone, the colourings, the extreme sugar, flavour enhancers..... Many American food companies are penetrating our market... e.g. this poisonous company Monsanto - which has forced these toxic pesticides on us. It's terrible.
Thank you for sharing reasonable and doable tips with your viewers! I’m now 45, but spent three years in and out of hospitals for anorexia between the ages of 12- 15. The thinking has stayed with me, but what you shared are the thoughts I use to counter the unhealthy ones and that all women should follow. I have not weighed myself in 29 years- one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Merci, Frédérique!
I weigh myself a few days before I go for a physical just to keep track. But basically, I can tell how much I weigh by how tight my skinny outfits fit. I just turned 69 (yeah) and am 5 1/2" and 110 lbs (give or take 2 lbs up or down from that point). So, my BMI is a little under 21. Of course, whenever I'm in a theater show, without trying, I can lose 5lbs -- but it comes back quickly when the show is over.
merci love xxx
Ana is a lifelong thing not unlike alcoholism…it’s always there somewhere in the background. Sending good vibes to someone sharing that bit of my life’s path
As an international chef I am often asked which cuisine I prefer. Although I have a high appreciation for the majority of cuisines around the world, the French cuisine is the foundation for me. It’s by far my favorite too. And simply because it is the most natural cuisine, not the easiest to cook but when mastered is by far most satisfying.
I worked as a divemaster in scuba tourism for 8 years. I was in the water 3-4 hours a day with my divers and I ate like a longshoreman at every meal! Scuba diving definitely burns the calories and it’s a beautiful way to experience the underwater world.
Fabulous! And we eat so much after diving! lol. Do you still dive?
I recently decided to blend the Keto and Mediterranean dietary lifestyle. It works so well, i dont like gluten or grains so finding more veggie options to replace breads and rice has made transitioning super easy! I love eggplants and zucchini as noodle substitutes. Chickpeas, i do eat since its lower in carbs. So Hummus and chickpea flatbread (Farinata) i make regularly now. ❤
I completely agree about French food being the best in the world. One thing to add is that when I was living in France, I noticed that the portion sizes are a lot smaller than in the UK, Eastern Europe or in the US. To be honest it was an adjustment for me and at the beginning I was hungry quite often. Once I got used to it though, it became part of my lifestyle, even when I moved out of France. Oh and apart from the bread, a lot less carbs too.
For me it’s just the perfect balance because I can eat whatever I want to, in smaller quantities. We are all different, but the diet advertised by fitness influencers that contain egg whites, chicken-broccoli- rice with low fat everything does not work for me in the long run.
My sister said she went to her daughter's house and was served a tiny helping for dinner. She was in shock and was very hungry later! But then she said she realized that no one eating that size serving was overweight. Yup!
Nah, French and German women smoke A LOT! Not all of them are thin, but the ones that are, have this dry leathery skin because of lifetime of cigarettes.
Egg with the yolk and white is very nutritious, a complete synergistic food.
High fructose corn syrup is destroying Americans' health.
It’s banned in so many countries . Americas greed in the health care is why they don’t ban it
What I have heard is that because French people really do love their food, they have a low tolerance for cheap, industrial, frankenfoods. They want REAL butter, REAL meat, REAL wine, REAL bread. They can't penetrate the market with fake food when real, healthy, traditional food is available and popular. Very different to Northern Europe, where everyone eats processed food out of cans.
In the west, most of our dieting culture is really based on NOT eating garbage foods like seed oils, refined white sugar, white flours, and chemicals we can't even pronounce. Keto, Vegan, Carnivore, Atkins, all work because you will read labels and eliminate fake processed junk foods.
Love your energy!!! I am French descent and I have to tell you that as long as I can remember from my Meme' to my mom and her sister's, as myself, I love dressing well and looking my best. It's the French woman's way!!! Blessings to you for your informational video!!! 🙏
love you too x
Thanks for such a great video! The insanity that some "health advocates" have about eggs is interesting, for years my "personal trainer" refused to eat the yolk of the eggs, I told him that's where all the nutrition is. I have 2 avocado trees on my property, love them!
100% thanks for sharing xxx
Good fat is very very important. Less carbs is the key
@@gabrielacluciuniuc3451 The key is what do we mean by "less carbs". Most people on "keto" diets want people to have less than 20 a day, which is essentially the amount found in 1 apple. What's been found out about some of these highly restrictive diets-like Carnivore- women need more carbs than men. The key is to stay away from simple carbs (most sweets/desserts, sodas) and have more complex carbs ( fruits/veggies) since the body processes them differently.
Of course, portion control is essential as well. I drink massive amounts of water a day- close to 4 liters of water. Apart from one cup of coffee in the morning, I don't drink anything besides water.
I spent two weeks in Paris, ate very well, and lost 8 pounds. I had a decent , healthy breakfast at the hotel, a granola bar for lunch (to save money) and a good dinner -meat, vegetables and cheese, water to drink. I think I had one or two desserts-I don’t like sweets much and I don’t drink alcohol. I just was walking so much to try to see everything!
My Mama is French...so we walk all Day,as myself 147lb and 5"9 in height...eat small portions and move all Day...so I grew up right!
I'm proud to have my heritage...Merci !🇫🇷
This video was so much better than I was expecting from the title and photo 😊 Thank you for summarizing it all. I don’t think there was anything I didn’t already know but it’s so good to have a reminder and to have it all in one video 👍👍 The only tip I would add is to cook things yourself at home, meaning real food, not ready meals. I try to eat 90% things that I’ve cooked or know every ingredient is real food when eating at home. Sometimes in the supermarket I will have a craving for something junky and when I pick it up and read the ingredient list the number of ingredients that are chemicals I don’t recognize or filler ingredients really puts me off buying it 😂

Such a Beautiful Message! Thank You ✨
I’m a Brit and our food culture has been Americanised. Sugar and takeaways everywhere, crazy portions.
I think aim to get exercise in…don’t focus too much weight…because we are all just passing through this life…it is so so short….focus on spending time with those you love and doing what you enjoy
I'm also a Frenchie living abroad and I agree with everything apart from the statement that all French food is butter-based and extremely rich everywhere. I'm from Provence (South-Eastern part of France) where we have a lighter and healthier Mediterranean diet with more grilled fish, olive oil and tons of veggies. French cuisine is very diverse, that's the beauty of it. You drive 300 km away and you'll find they eat more meat and cook with duck fat. But, it's true, all of us have a balanced diet between proteins, carbs and fiber. Also, when we indulge ourselves with a viennoiserie or a feast as described by Frédérique, we will eat less the next meals to compensate.
True but in one video I don’t have enough time to talk about the different cuisines et specialities of each area. 😊
@@ms.frederique Sure. I was more to inform your international audience rather than blaming you. Thank you for taking the time to respond and for making these entertaining videos 😙
Thank you for the wonderful tips! ❤
I just love your videos and presentation.❤ thank you for the insight.
Loved the tips, but my trainer said that thing about muscle weighing more than fat is true except most of us don’t really gain that much muscle that we would actually gain weight.
But if you turn your fat into muscle, you might weigh more but look slimmer.
Good and encouraging talk.
Sound information Frederique!
Oh I loved French croissants, I definitely indulged in them but I walked for hours in Paris so I didn't worry about it.
As an Italian, this video resonates with me. I usually keep my diet on the simple side, eating mostly like my grandma would've done. I indulge in something different once a month and every day I eat a sweet thing for breakfast, but I keep my portions controlled. I started to pay attention to my body more after my 30s and I realized many of us are too comfortable with feeling stuffed, lethargic and having a bad digestion after meals. So I decided to eat foods that my body can handle and I stop before feeling full. And I make sure to eat 2-3 fruits and 5 veggies every day, more during the summer. Alcohol is a no for me, it's not worth it, just a glass during Christmas maybe. And I stop eating after 7 PM, it's the lightest meal of my day, otherwise I really can't have a good sleep. I focus on walking and I'm doing pilates as well, and it's something I find sustainable on the long term. In the end, keeping it simple and listening to my body is what matters more to me.
Toasting loaf white bread reduce sweet carb by 35%
If you freeze before then toasting it's 65%.
great tip x
THANK YOU for your honesty!! I appreciate it.
All great advise. Thank you for sharing.
I used to diet - low fat this, low cal, lite etc. When I stopped eating processed foods, I lost weight. I really didn't have to think about it. Now I only buy whole milk, real butter, real sugar, etc. I don't count calories, I just eat well. It's not magic. I have a slow metabolism. By golly, I'm thin, 7 years post-menopause, no hot flashes. The commercial food industry is the cause. They deliberately put addictive chemicals in food. They study this. Stop letting them make your food!
✨‼️❤️I’ve followed you for a long time and while I love your videos 💕my favorites are where you discuss what you eat and how. Please do more of these because I think this and beauty are our interest zones❤️‼️✨
When I lived in Germany I had to shop for fresh food daily. I could only buy what could fit in my Bicycle basket! Then when I arrived at my apartment I had to carry the groceries up 5 flights of stairs ! And when we went out to a restaurant to eat I had to get on the bicycle to ride to and from the restaurant! I was 50 lbs slimmer that I am here in the US because I go to Aldsi or Wegman with the car and I over buy ! Lol I drive every where and only when I walk the dog do I walk ! Thanks for the reminders of how it was living overseas 24 years ago. I definitely walked and biked everyday. I enjoy your humor !
❤❤❤❤yes sweetie. Thank you!!
We ( in the US) , use to never wear exercise clothes out in public either.
Indeed, just have to look at archives to discover that.
The laid back attitude started in the 80s and never went away; it's like rap music.
Exercise clothing is pretty modern, so that's a weird thing to point out.
Thank you for sharing this Frédérique! I am also in my early 50 and everything has changed with my body and ability to keep weight off. What you shared about needing a mindset change at our age and monitoring things differently than before really resonated with me. It’s an uphill battle for sure!
Wonderful!
Really appreciated this information. Excellent job!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
I try to keep sweet things to a minimum, ie the weekend. My type of exercise is to dance to music with my headphones and I know I do look funny and everyone laughs at me at home but I don’t care, I know that it’s something I enjoy doing 🙂
i love it xxx enjoy and never stop to have fun! xx
where the money is people are always thinner no matter what country & in large cities people walk more
Love this, thanks! Balance view, too. Like the idea of green salad in the morning.. I'll try...
Great video.
You are spot on ❤
Thank you!
The sporty stuff in a French gym is hysterical. So different from an American one where we push ourselves! You DO NOT WORK OUT in France!! But you will be feminine, laugh a lot, enjoy your friends while you can tell your friends you "go to the gym."
Same with yoga.
Not competitive.
Relaxing. Resting. Not pushing.
Doucement.....😘😘😘
As a french, wtf.
I’m French American and I love rich food, but I eat mostly raw fruits and vegetables so it balances out. 💚
I have been to France many times. Cannes and Paris.
What I love but always reminded of every time is the incredible self care and self love French have for themselves. I just adore that !
Plus I am a carnivore now so I can’t wait to go back to eat the butter meats and sauces
I am loving this content. Thanks for all of the tips!
You're so welcome!
Love your videos!❤
merci love xxx
I believe the fact is that due to the hot and cold food at the same time in the stomach, the food isn't digested well because the enzymes working on each type of food is pH and temperature specific so all the nutrients aren't received. This used to happen to me when I was younger so I ate a lot and never got thicker or get a big belly. It didn't at all mean that my thinness was healthy because all the healthy food I was eating wasn't staying in my body. Having headphones, I have known or heard from a health expert is not recommended in terms of earhealth for long periods or when exercising. What is good about ice cream? Just because it looks or tastes nice doesn’t mean it's good. The pasta can be whole wheat or healthy. Right now with gadgets you can even make your own spaghetti with vegetables.
Thank You.. This was a pleasure to watch. I also liked your 2024 fashion forecast video and Im happy to see pinks are in since Ive just fallen in love with the softer pinks recently.
Love your posts Frederique. Thankyou 💚
Glad you like them!
Excellent video!
merci love xxx
thank you
I visited Paris for the first time a few months ago. I loved it. Such wonderful people and the food was amazing. I really enjoyed walking everywhere.
3 to 5 hours around the table with family is terrific
What a brilliant video! There's so much in here that is highly beneficial and really wise. I also love your presentation and your way of talking about enjoying food, but sensibly. You are very inspiring.
love this so much! thank you! would love to see some example meals you might eat on a regular basis or maybe the size of the portions french eat NEXT TO/COMPARED to an average american meal!
Knowledge is power. Thanks beautiful.!🙌🏽🔥❤️
Absolutely!!
When I visited France last May, walked, walked and walked.....ate the most delicious and fresh (farm to fork) meals, portioned, and relaxed, unrushed dining. Returned to US and lost 20 pounds, and I changed my lifestyle. Reduced alcohol consumption and nutrition along with physical activities. ❤❤❤
Great video
Thanks!
Bonjour Frédérique! Quel plaisir d'entendre votre si joli accent français! Je suis d'origine canadienne anglophone et je suis arrivée pour la première fois en France à Rouen en 1989. Quel BONHEUR - et choc culturel - mais dans le bon sens.
Malgré que je suis canadienne, comme le plupart de mes compatriotes, je ne parlais pas le français. J'ai travaillé comme jeune fille au pair ... j'avais 20 ans. Quelle année magique!
Me voici presque 35 ans après, je suis restée en Europe mais en Belgique où je me suis mariée et j'ai eu mes 2 filles - la dernière n'a que 9 ans (notre "petite" surprise qu'on a fait lors de nos vacances justement au sud de votre pays en 2013! hihihi).
Vous me semblez quelqu'un de drôlement intéressante et pleine de vie! La France sera toujours mon "pays de coeur" : je suis tout à fait francophile d'ailleurs. Mon époux aussi malgré qu'il est belge. On aime tant ce pays si merveilleux !
J'ai hâte à découvrir vos autres vidéos et oui... moi aussi je trouve que c'est une idée géniale si vous pourrez faire une vidéo de ce que vous mangez dans une journée typique pour vous.
Merci de tout coeur et à très bientôt ! Bisous 😘
Merci pour ce long message et bienvenue 🤗 bisous 💋
Lovely to see you, Frederica 💕💕💕
Thank you! 🤗
She's so awesome. I love her and her French sensibilities.
Excellent! 😊❤
No lies. I live in France as an immigrant and i took my time to understand how it works. French people eat well and healthy but the food is well spaced out and planned but walking trumps it all. It's fantastic 😅😅😅😅😅
And don't drink your water while you're eating. Dilutes the digestive juices which makes it harder for your food to be broken down. A sip or two during your meal, but that's it :)
Imagine thinking the human body is so inefficient that it can't deal with some water. Drink your drink and stop eating garbage.
Your description of the big, french meal really reminded me of staying with french families as a teenager. I think it's a healthy appreciation of delicious food in a balanced way.
Fantastic advice!
Glad it was helpful!
I love all of your videos FB, and you just keep being you! As for more content, I would love to see another 9 or 10 piece travel capsule for "One Bag" travel. Thank you for what you do.
Noted!
You never fail to bring a smile. Thanks so much for the tres bon advice.
thank you love x
love it and love your energy 💕
Thank you so much!!
10:50 Dairy Products Thank you for your lively video and great tips! Merci beaucoup!
I do agree french food is delicious. Yeah I grew up with salad at every meal. I think another thing is preservatives. And a lot of stuff is within walking distance. And portion size is key as well.
Loved this video! You are so adorable and funny!
Glad you liked it!!
Spot on. Walking is key.
A lot of wholesome advice here!
