Book Review of French Women Don't Get Fat: The Secret of Eating For Pleasure

French Women Don't Get Fat: The Secret of Eating For Pleasure
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


The first 35 pages held my interest with the author's homey little storey of her journey to America in her youth, how she gained 30 pounds, returned to France, followed the advice of her French physician (ala weight watcher's style) and lost the weight. But after that, the book was just a rehash of a hundred other books on "how I lost weight", in my opinion. French women don't have the inside edge on keeping weight off any more than any other nationality......maybe they just have better clothes designers!
