Typical French Diet
- Eat smaller portions.
- Avoid snacking and eat only at mealtimes.
- Eat a wide variety of food.
- Don't skip meals.
- Enjoy your food and focus on dishes made from fresh, locally grown, quality ingredients.
- Stick to your internal cues. When you no longer feel hungry, stop eating.
- Eat less sugar. The French eat less than half as much added sugar as do Americans.
- Eat meals with family and friends so that eating becomes a pleasurable experience as opposed to something to "fit into" a schedule or feel guilty about.
