As a French woman who spent 5 years living in the US, a question that I often heard was “How come French women don’t get fat? How to eat like the French and lose weight?" How can French women eat pastries and cheese and drink wine and stay thin?” After living in both places, experiencing both cultures, and analyzing French and American people’s different relationships with food, I actually found quite a few answers to these questions.
Here's part 2 of my video on how French women don't get fat.
I will be discussing the genetic aspect of weight and addressing the smoking issue! I'll also talk about the main reason why French women don't get fat, regarding the French way of eating and the French way of living.

I'm glad you mentioned physical activity. Years ago I joined my local gym because I just wanted to move around, one of the trainers asked me what my goal was, and I said I just wanted to be healthy, he looked at me very surprised and after that day, he didn't talk to me ever again because my goal wasn't to lose weight but simply be healthy. Is like exercise has to be painful and centered in weight loss when it can also be about feeling good.
It's awesome that you're doing it for health reasons!
@@Edukalebylucie I've seen many people @ the gym who work out much harder than moi yet they are obese. I don't dare ask them what their eating habits are.
Moderation is key. Listening to your body is so important. Everyone hears this but everyone likes to overcomplicate it. Once I started doing this I lost weight just from a diet cause I wasn’t able to workout.
You are totally right!
Bible talks about moderation & self control. I lost 53 pounds a long time ago by practicing moderation with my portions. I even had 1 sweet per day
I find that when people are really hard on themselves and deprive themselves of the foods they really enjoy (instead of having them in moderation) then they will end up over eating them and punish themselves for it. That is a really unhealthy way of treating yourself and food
You are totally right!
I noticed this at Japanese women, moderation. They eat rice, bread, cakes but... small portions and careful how they mix foods. Rice with fish or veggies and steak with salad. In France I noticed parents don't over fees children. Children eat the same thing as parents but smaller portions. My brothers always placed salad on his kids plates since they were young and they now help themselves with salad, it's normal.
If anyone has ever been to Europe or even anywhere else than America period, especially France, they should have noticed that everything is smaller. Portions, food (berries aren’t the size of apples there) because it’s not pumped with hormones and “organic” isn’t pushed out, all the food is good quality, locally grown and organic. Even cars, houses, etc are smaller. That also has to do with population and economy, but in America everything is huge and we get “in trouble” as kids for wasting our food or not finishing it. In Europe food was scarce in the old days because the climate was so cold, so that’s another factor. My mom is from Europe and she told me when she first came to America the first thing she noticed was that food was larger (fruits, veggies, chicken) but the taste and even texture was lacking.
Unfortunately rice 🍚 spaghetti and these other carbs aren’t good for me. They make me extra hungry, cause bloating, increased insulin resistance. It doesn’t matter about portions. I have fibroids so I need to eliminate unnecessary food groups like processed carbs and sugary snacks
I have lived abroad and in the US and agree with everything you say. Also, many of the good French habits of moderation used to be the norm in the US as well. My grandmother ate everything in moderation, was busy and active, but never went to a gym and lived to be 101. We can't just take a walk, it now has to be a "hike." And it's so true about young American women spending their days in sloppy sweatpants and no makeup, but their nights in full glam. This is also something that was not done here until the last ten or 15 years. A terrible trend. Loving your videos!
The US is a land of extremes.
I feel bad about how many disclaimers you have to make and how careful/worried about offending you have to be because people can't use common sense/accept that there are always exceptions, duh.
Insecurity is a very prominent tone in our society these days. Kids are basically coached to hate themselves so they’re ultra sensitive and they need any excuse to get pissed off and rant. This era of hypersensitivity to others’ emotions has created a culture of walking on eggshells and inevitably blowing up in anger because of it.
welcome to nowdays reality of high expectations on litreal children with ed
Yeah, Samantha, I feel the same.
100%
Especially when people click on the video, knowing what the subject matter is!
I started learning French a month ago, there is something that makes me feel so connected to this country.
Past lives.. ❤️ I am the same way
Πολυ φίλη μου ❤️
That's awesome!
Maybe you have French ancestry
Feel that way about russian
I'm really enjoying your emphasis on moderation and not becoming obsessed with food or weight.
So glad!!
Over the last month or so, I've started taking this approach when it comes to my eating - eating intuitively with no restrictions / everything in moderation and it has done wonders for my mental health. I've also been losing weight as a result which is awesome too. Also, one of my close friends is French and she has similar habits to the things you share. Really enjoying your content!
I'm really glad to hear that, thank you!!
Tasha, I’ve had the same experience the last month. The mental health piece is 100% a fact! Best of luck with your food relationship!
@@CasanovasAsh thank you! And so true, I’m glad to hear you’re having a positive mental shift. Best of luck to you too!
just a reminder to everyone that healthy eating is different for everyone, listen to your own body and its needs, and don't compare your eating habits to others
Absolutely!
Dear Lucie, I know your channel is for nutrition and health but I would like to know if you could make a video about your beauty and self-care routine. Or if you prefer to make it less personal, a video about that "pamper and getting ready routine" from french ladies. Thank you
Thanks for the video suggestion Natalie!
Yes that would be very interesting! Your hair and makeup is so natural and minimal , would love a little tutorial 😍 sending love from Canada 😘
Great. I have the same question.
yes yes yes, what makeup do you use?
Moderation is the key! As an insulin dependent diabetic since I was a teenager, I went to the nutritionist and learned about portion sizes. It seems that during the last 20 years portion sizes at American restaurants actually are generally double. I rarely go out to eat, but when I do I take half of the meal home.
That's what hubby and I do all the time when we eat out -- 1/2 of the meal is taken home so we don't have to cook the next day. We just heat n eat.
loving these videos!!
Me too, I’ve been binge-watching her videos lately 😂 Btw if you’re looking for something to watch, I have a channel with content from London, Italy and Greece ☺️
Oh wow, thank you so much!!
@@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon sameeee!!!
Our content is so refreshing! Thank you!
i'm obsessed with these videos i was so excited to see you made a part 2 omg
Aww thank you so much!!
I literally just watched part one an hour ago 😳😳 so happy you uploaded a part 2!!
Haha sorry for the spam then 😂😂
I appreciate that you give us the studies. You're doing the right thing and that also shows that you have respect for your viewers' intelligence!
The information you're providing is really the best I've heard on this subject, and probably the best information available. I love how clear and concise, yet thorough you are in your presentation style, and so appreciate that you cite a lot of research in your videos.
Loving your content
Thank you!!
I really appreciate that you reference the pubmed articles 💕
Thank you, I find it super important as well!!
I enjoyed both parts! I especially enjoy your focus on the pleasure of food, the pleasure of self care, the pleasure of staying active!
I'm so glad, thank you!
I know I’ve been loving your videos when just hearing your voice makes me hungry for healthy foods 🤓
I'm so glad to hear that, thank you!!
I’ve been in love with your videos lately
That is so sweet, thank you!
Loving these - please make more about the French way of living, it sounds so wonderful! I’d love to hear more about French ideas on skincare, hair, and style.
Thank you, and thanks for the video idea!
Your channel is great! I'm so glad I found you 💕
Aww thank you so much!
I appreciated what you said about activity. When I lived in France, I literally walked everywhere, so I could eat pretty much what I wanted. Thanks for another great video!
This channel is gold. I was never taught how to eat healthy growing up, I love all these tips.
Thank you so much!
I've been binging your videos the past few days and I love them, they're so relaxing yet informative:)
I'm so glad, thank you!
Oh, funny. I just watched part 1, subscribed, and then almost immediately got this notification 😂
Your videos are so well done! It’s also making me miss when I could visit France. Congratulations on how well you’re doing! 🥰
Hahaha sorry for the spamming then 😂😂 Thank you so much!!
It was just perfect timing! 😊
Same!
I loved this, it really consolidated the message from your first video - moderation is key!
Thank you! And YES!
i'm so happy you posted this!!
Thank you for watching!
Thankful for the algorithm to brought me here! Will stay here, and subscribed 👌🏻🙌🏻
I'm so glad!! Thank you!!
from recently subscribing to you, i stopped counting calories, eat breakfast and even have a snack, and indulge in mindful eating, i'm even getting into my hunger cues again :)) thank you so much merci merci
So happy for you!! ❤️ it happened the same to me, my relationship with food normalized when I moved to Italy!
Btw if you’re looking for something to watch, I have a channel with content from London, Italy and Greece ☺️
I'm SO glad to hear that wow!! Thank you so much for watching!!
@@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon thank you s-o much! I will try to check out the channel as well :))
@@Edukalebylucie no thank you for saving my relationship with food
Really enjoy your channel!
Thank you!!
I'm looking forward to part 2.
oh girl, I can relate to all these items you have pointed out. thanks for sharing them! xoxo
Thanks for watching!!
your content has helped me sm thank you!
I'm so glad, thank you so much!
Lovely video as always..most informative...love how its about change in the lifestyle and mindset more rather than a quick fix.. 🙂❤
Thank you so much!
This is fabulous thank you 😊
Really sensible, thoughtful video.
You are really a great role model for health and beauty. Im so grateful. After trying and failing on Freelees awful frugivor diet I will follow your advice for 3 months and see how it goes :). I think it might be for life.😊❤️😍🥰🤩. The children will love it.
Hi Lucie! Could you please make a video of your daily routine? What you do around the house, errands, work, the kind of work outs you like, etc? Thank you so much!
Thanks for the suggestion!
I just found your channel and it is so informative! It's also very interesting to hear about the "French ways" - I've never really thought much of france (not in the way a lot of UK/US people do) but it seems pretty similar to the Polish lifestyle in terms of the way you eat a lot of fresh foods!
I'm here because a fellow Redditor posted one of your videos as inspiration for his weight loss journey and I've decided to stay. You're amazing! Most of the things you say aren't new for me, but some of them definitely are and I find them very useful. I love your focus on self-care and well-being, that's what actually works in the end. Thanks for your videos, I'll be around!
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Your voice is like ASMR so soothing! It's sending me to sleep!!
Ahah thank you!!
Focus on a healthy body and healthy mind its what I love from your channel and needed to hear thank you Lucy ❤️
Absolutely! Thank you!
👏👏👏❣️
Yess quality over quantity! Loving your videos❣
Thank you, I'm so glad!
This video is so accurate about Americans 💯. I'm really trying to reprogram my mind of all of the extreme thinking about diet and exercise. We Americans must learn to trust ourselves more. These videos are great, Lucie. Keep up the good work, and thank you!
Thank you so much!
Thank you! I am learning a ton from you! I am 54 and learning to retrain myself when it comes to food and my mindset.
So glad to hear that ! All the best!
Lovely video and very eye opening for me! I'm a lot more likely to keep being physically active if I'm having fun doing it so I like to do things like dance and yoga because they're fun and make me feel nice :)
I love that you don't shame people's bodies in these videos
This woman is spitting facts. It took me YEARS to get this because where I live, it's not taught or practiced. The all or nothing mentality was hard to shake, but I think I have the hang of it now.
You really opened my eyes here
I hate the term "Cheat Meal". When you cheat then you are doing something wrong and then you feel guilty for having it. Why would you do that to yourself? I've noticed that when you cook from scratch, you really feel satisfied cause you made it ! when you eat it, you tend to eat a little less. Because its so good you want it to last for maybe one more day.
I totally agree!
That's so true, never thought of it that way. You have inspired me to start making as many things from scratch as possible.
Watching your videos makes me realize how messed up our diet mentality is here in America. But it's really good insight, thank you so much. ❤
Portion size is number 1 reason. Agree 100%。Quality over quantity makes sense. Thank you!
I used to have roommates that stocked up on junk food and it was so horrible for me, especially since I grew up with a French mom who always cooked healthy dinners. I have ADHD too, so I’d impulsively eat junk food if it was available. Taking daily walks to boost my dopamine levels totally cut my cravings and made whole foods more desirable. Great video!! Thanks!!

Yay thank you!
They did a study on identical twins on different diets and one got fat and unhealthy while the other one stayed thin. So I think too many people use “genetics” as an excuse for being fat when they could make lifestyle choices to be thin. If it was just “genetics” for why people are fat, then why were there almost no fat people 100 years ago?
Exactly. Genetics didn't magically change since the 1990s which is about the time people gradually started to get fatter and fatter. It's very recent.
lifestyle but also processed food. rule of thumb, if the ingredients in your meal look like a table of contents to a physics guide, dont eat and instead go for more natural food.
@@matty6878 I know. I don’t believe in the “genetics make you fat” hype.
Love learning about the French culture
Hey Jessica, if you’re interested I also have a channel and make videos about Italian and British culture ☺️ feel free to check it out ❤️
So glad!
I find these videos very interesting and quite informative and it’s cool to hear about different things people across the world do of course these are generalisations but still cool.
Glad you like them, thank you!
Je suis française et je vis au canada et tout ce que tu as décrits est exactement vrai! Merci pour cette vidéo.
Merci d'avoir regardé!!
Thank you for your content. I have been so intrigued with the French approach to food. Do you have any favorite recipes you'd be interested in sharing? Thank you
Thank you! I'll keep that in mind!
Came here from part 1 - I'm really happy to have discovered your channel, and sorry to be so trivial, BUT I absolutely must know what lipstick you are wearing! It's absolutely stunning on you!
Aww thank you so much! This is the link: amzn.to/3bNpzzq
@@Edukalebylucie Thank you very much! 🥰
Love your video!really helpful and informative,plz keep up the good work👍btw,would you plz tell the brand&color of your lipstick in this video?so beautiful😍
I feel like social media has ruined our diets and ways of eating... like before social media no one had ever heard of “cheat days”...
Loving your videos by the way!! Trying to transition into intuitive eating and i have to say it’s the hardest thing ever but I know it’s probably the most sustainable than all diets out there.
A lot of books from the 70s talked about "cheat days" but they were books for men who were doing body building
Great video
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
My father always taught me to eat to live, not live to eat and my mother taught me moderation is key. Genetically I’ve been given a short stature yet high muscle content body. Partial from Celtic and partial from Scandinavian heritage. Great video makes perfect sense to my life.
Love to hear you talking about French mindset everyday! Until it becomes mine!!!
Haha awesome!
@@Edukalebylucie Sometimes I am hungry, but I just don't feel like eating anything. I open the fridge, there is full of food, but I just don't find any of them appealing. Can you talk more about the mindset behind this scene please?
@@PriscillaZhao Maybe this video can help! th-cam.com/video/uhN55tO1VEc/w-d-xo.html
god i love so much the french mindset and lifestyle
Hi Lucie, I agree with all that you say in this video ! I have a tip for moderation : your should finish your meal BEFORE you feel "full", in fact you should stop eating when you think "I am ok, but I could have a little more"... You don't need the "little more", keep it for your next meal !
Thank you.
I mostly like the smoking part. I've heard similar things around my friend circle and I was wondering about that, thank you❣
Thank you so much!!
Do you think the underlying difference is that the French are less stressed than the Americans? I was overweight all my adult life until I retired. I now realise it was a stress-driven addiction to junk food.
you are the best
aww thank you!
I would like to see more videos about what are you eat in a day, for breakfast, dinner and lunch.
Noted, thank you!!
Wow! Your contents really are amazing and gorgeous 💛💛💛 Godbless ü. Continue to inspire us 😘
Thank you so much!!
Merci beaucoup for the great tips! I'm a 72 year old American woman with un petit peu of French heritage! I live more like a French woman or English woman since I'm mostly Brit-American than living like most American women. I learned from the French to only eat a bit of chocolate so instead of eating a whole chocolate bar in one sitting I can make it last a whole week! Even though I was a fitness trainer/weight trainer in my 40s, I have struggled with my weight for decades only being around 20 lbs overweight! Sometimes,it's more frustrating to have to lose just a little weight than a lot of weight. Remember too, muscle weighs more than fat! Bon chance, good luck to all~
What I noticed are the same things that you mentioned in this video......
1. Both, the French and Italian Women are Elegant and Absolutely Beautiful!!!
2. They All Eat CARBS, and Some drink wine but Not on a daily basis.
3. They enjoy Bread and desserts in their meals.
4. They have better Silhouettes and more feminine bodies.
5. Their Personal Care is on a daily basis.
6. They don't have Obsessive's Personalities, are more relaxed in general and more Pleasant to Speak with.
Also 1/4 of the French population smokes....
As I’m on keto, i understand the French way of life. I eat the types of high nutrient based foods that keep me full for hours without snacking. I enjoy long walks and do some fitness workouts.
How's that working for you now?
Me, fat American going...this must be how other people feel when I talk about Christianity and Financial Responsibility. Wow! I can't even imagine the mindset you are talking about. Can't wait to hear more!
I LOVE all her videos. Good tips .
On your eating habits and to be healthy.
When you eat healthy food.
Somehow the weight stay down
According to your frame and the sizes off your bones❤❤
Please do a video on how to lose weight in a healthy way! ❤️ I love your content
Thanks for the video suggestion!
This video made me laugh at my North American culture. I love the general French culture and how less is more. I love the attitude of eating quality over quantity. I love learning about how other cultures view food, relationships, habits etc. I live in Canada and still have not ever visited out French region. I’d love to know if Quebec people have generally adopted North American eating or if they have generally maintained more of a French philosophy...
Sounds like a typical North American. Don't even know your own country.
I started gaining weight when i moved from France to South Africa. My entire relationship with food changed. Its true that in France i was never concerned about what i eat… and i was never overweight 😫
Hi, I really like your videos. You said in another video that french DO compensate over eating with the next meal.
I swap out the "cheat meal" with a treat meal(removes the taboo). It also tends to be on my rest day since the following day is my leg day.
Persian and Parisians’ culture resembles a lot. Before Iran revolution, the two countries had a good relationship. I am curious to know if you know anything about Pahlavi’s family residing in Paris?
Love your content! They are very helpful. Can you do a vedio about butter? What types of butter are healthy and if they chemically change when cooked...
Thank you!! Regular butter is ok in moderation and good to cook with, and plant-based butter is good if it doesn't contain partially hydrogenated oils!
@@Edukalebylucie Thanks for the info. That is good to know...
I used to dance in my living room sometimes. Just put on some music and dance in whatever room in your house has the largest space! :)
I left some comments on some of your other videos. I only found this channel a few days ago and already I'm watching some of them over and over again. I have a binge eating disorder and wish I could get help from you!
This is what I started doing during lockdown to be honest 😅
I have a glass of wine and put on my favorite song😍 it’s not like going out but it definitely makes you feel better ❤️
Btw if you’re looking for something to watch, I have a channel with content from London, Italy and Greece ☺️
I do that as well haha, put on music and dance my heart out 😂 So glad you enjoy my channel, thank you!
@@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon Nice! I'll check it out!. :)
@@PetBunnyDebbie thanks so much, Debbie❤️ btw I love your profile photo 😍
Love this channel. I was born in the states but have family from Italy, and I agree with both stereotypes. I’ve gone through unhealthy diets where I stressed myself out about what I ate, yet I’ve never been overweight in my life. My natural state is eating whatever I want in moderation ❤️
You really shouldn’t stress about it! ❤️
I actually lived in Italy for 5 years and it helped me a lot to normalize my relationship with you! I used to binge eat a lot but seeing people being so okay with having “cheat meals” like pasta or pizza frequently made me realize it’s all about balance.
Btw if you’re looking for something to watch, I have a channel with content from London, Italy and Greece ☺️
Thank you so much for watching! It's awesome that you're able to eat what you want in moderation!!
Can you do a video on hunger and fullness cues for French women to teach?
this came at a perfect time for me... Just coming off a binge fest and was planning a 24 hr fast to make up for it, even though I know that every time I restrict, I end up binging. Funny how we see those patterns so clearly and yet we can't resist them. Talk about self-sabotage! Thank you so much for this, I'm going to try and remember to be kind to myself and focus on "everything in moderation". Lots of love from the UK xx
Wishing you all the best!!
Can you please make a video of thyroid health as a focus? I’m American and I’m sure my weight issues are from my American eating habits described by you in this video. It’s spot on! I am going to attempt to change my eating habits like you said and I’m sure it will help. If you are knowledgeable about the thyroid, please make a video. ❤️
Geeze why don't you go to a doctor?
There’s a time I tried to gain weight and I couldn’t and I’m realizing its because all the stuff you’re saying plus the first video are my daily life 😂😂😂 and I’m Tanzanian not even French , thanks for solving my mystery 🤗🤗
Glad this could help, thank you for watching!!
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction: the more you restrict the more you binge. The stricter the restriction, the bigger the binge. Stop restrictions, and binges will magically disappear. Eat full meals like humans have always done (except for cavemen, I suppose) and don't skip your little dessert (in my opinion). I LOVE your videos!!! And so glad to see you have a following. We will all trash the diet culture together, finally!
Absolutely!! And yes that's an awesome goal haha
I go to the gym almost every day because I have osteoporosis and it helps build healthy muscles.
I like to take a walk in the woods because it's pretty and calm.
It has to be said... your lashes look so good in this video. 😍
Aww thank you so much!
@@Edukalebylucie you are so welcome! And love these tips. They are true and I think will help a lot of people. 😊
This viewpoint would also 100% back up a manifestation point of view. If you obsess over the negative side of something then you will get more of that. If you focus on the joy and happiness, the positive side, then you get more of that positive side! Would love to do a collaboration with you on this angle if you are interested!!
