French women know how to stay slim, lose weight, fat loss and weight loss is not part of their vocabulary; they have just stayed with their lifestyle that's been working for centuries, and of course, common sense.

This diet allows you to eat a large selection of unprocessed meats, grains, dairy products, breads, vegetables and fruits. The key is all about portions.

For a balanced diet it is important for you to take in various minerals and vitamins, therefore you must vary your choice of food.

You should have a nice salad and vegetables with your main protein, but the protein should never exceed one third of a pound.

If you have ever watched diners at an outside French Cafe, then you have noticed that most of the locals will order one desert for the whole table then share it. This is also a part of the French diet. You can have your cheese cake and eat it, too, but only a small sliver of it. Obviously, if you eat a lot of these foods, it is not going to assist you in your fat loss and weight loss diet. The secret is to keep your portions as small as possible.

Some of the breads in France are great! What would we do without croissants? Consider that croissants in France are about one ounce in size. Having a one ounce croissant with a meal would be fine!

A French diet without cheese, never. Yes, real cheese. Eating processed cheese would definitely not be included in a French diet, but eating small portions of real cheese helps you limit cravings for snacks because you'll feel full.

Red wine is great. Real French red wine is even better! Red wine is healthy for your heart and is loaded with antioxidants that neutralize the free radicals within your body. The French diet says 1 or 2 glasses a day is just right, not a bottle a day.

The French women are very choosy about what they eat. They love to eat big portions of fruits and vegetables that are fresh and not processed. Most fresh fruits and vegetables are naturally low in calories and high in nutrition.

Most US citizens eat much larger portions than French women do as French women only eat a fraction of the normal intake. This is confirmed by the huge portions that are served at restaurants, so it's just natural that US citizens are in the habit of consuming more food.

When the French women sit down for a meal, it is a ritual that does not include watching the TV or having other distractions going on. It's a time to savor the food and eat slowly instead of inhaling the plate. When was the last time you remember savoring a meal?

French women are used to drinking more water during the day, it's not only good for you but helps to keep your metabolic rate in high gear which is great for burning calories.

French women forgive themselves more easliy should they eat too much at a meal. There will be times that you just don't want to count calories, but the secret is to eat less at the next meal you eat, copying they will help us with our weight and fat loss efforts.
