Mireille Guiliano

French Women Don't Get Fat

Knopf 2004 Hardcover, 264pp. Stylish, convincing, wise, funny -- and just in time: the ultimate non-diet book, which could radically change the way you think and live. French women donâ€™t get fat, but they do enjoy bread and pastry, wine, and regular three-course meals. Unlocking the simple secrets of this 'French paradox' -- how they enjoy food while staying slim and healthy --Mireille Guiliano gives us a charming, empowering take on health and eating for our times. As a French teenager, Mireille (Meer-ray) went to America as an exchange student and came back fat. Fortunately, her kindly family physician, â€oeDr. Miracle,â€ came to the rescue. Reintroducing her to classic principles of French gastronomy plus time-honored tricks of the local women, he helped restore her shape with a fresh understanding of food, drink, and living. The key? Not guilt or deprivation but learning how to get the most from the things you most enjoy. Mireille has ever since relished a life of indulgence without bulge, satisfying yen without yo-yo on three meals a day. Now, in simple but potent strategies and dozens of recipes youâ€™d swear were fattening, she reveals the ingredients for a lifetime of weight control -- from the emergency weekend remedy of Magical Leek Soup to everyday tricks like fooling yourself into contentment. Emphasizing freshness, variety, balance, and always pleasure, Mireille shows how virtually anyone can learn to eat, drink, and move like a French woman. A natural raconteur, she illustrates her philosophy in cherished personal stories: her first taste of Champagne (at age six), hunts for mushrooms and berries, and a near-spiritual rendezvous with oysters, to name but a few. She also shows us other women discovering the wonders of â€oeFrench in action,â€ eating smarter and more joyfully. For anyone who has slipped out of her Zone, missed the flight to South Beach, or accidentally let a carb pass her lips, here is a buoyant, positive way to stay trim, a culture's most precious secrets recast for the twenty-first century. A life of wine, bread -- even chocolate -- without girth or guilt? Pourquoi pas? About the Author__________ Born and raised in France, Mireille Guiliano first lived in America as an exchange student and came back for good early in her professional career. She is president and CEO of Clicquot, Inc. whose headquarters are in New York, and a director of Champagne Veuve Clicquot in Reims. Married to an American, Mireille lives most of most of the year in New York and makes frequent trips to Paris as well as across America. (ISBN: 9781400042128). Good.
