French Women Don’t Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure

What is the secret behind the timeless elegance and slim figures of French women — even into their later years? How do they indulge in bread, chocolate, wine, and cheese without gaining weight or feeling guilty?

In this international bestseller, Mireille Guiliano — former CEO of the American branch of the champagne company Veuve Clicquot — shares the wisdom she gathered from studying the lifestyles of women around the world. Drawing on her own transformation and cultural insight, she invites readers to rethink dieting and embrace a joyful, balanced relationship with food.

Forget restrictive diets and calorie counting.
If you’ve given up wearing your favorite clothes, cancelled seaside vacations, or even resorted to diet pills — this book is for you.

French women eat with pleasure, not punishment. They adore vegetables and fruit, enjoy desserts without guilt, drink dry wine with meals, walk everywhere, avoid elevators, and live by the golden rule: less is more — but better.

Inside you'll discover:
– Why French women trust the “zipper test” more than the scale
– How to eat mindfully and enjoy every bite
– The art of portion control without obsession
– Tips for lasting wellness, beauty, and confidence — no sacrifice required

This is not a diet book — it's a lifestyle guide for anyone who loves good food and dreams of feeling good in their own skin.
