But is it true that French  women don’t get fat? Is there a French Paradox—the counterintuitive  notion that a diet that includes cheese, chocolate, and wine is  associated with improved cardiovascular health and weight management?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ancient wisdom and long-held traditions of the French have, in  fact, been validated. Recent and groundbreaking nutritional science  confirms what the French have known for centuries—there is no paradox at  all. Enjoying high-quality, real, even so-called “decadent”  foods—prepared with awareness and savored with pleasure and relaxation,  and in moderation—ensures a lifetime of relatively effortless weight  management. In The French Twist, nutritional consultant Carol Cottrill  lets American women in on twelve secrets for organizing their personal  rhythms and rituals around this concept, which can have a profound  effect on their metabolism and weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTalk to a French woman and you may learn that, rather than a French  Paradox, there exists a French Dilemma. The French love good food and  wine, and certainly the idea of a pleasurable life of large meals with  family and friends, but these preferences must be reconciled with their  desire to be attractive and healthy. The French woman will allow herself  to enjoy an excellent meal, but she will naturally eat less and walk  more to compensate. She is quietly self-disciplined in her efforts, and  she automatically observes portion savoir-faire. This typical and widely  practiced solution to the French Dilemma results in what we perceive as  the French Paradox.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe truth is that Americans are not different from people in other  countries. We just have different eating habits. Americans are hungry  for an alternative to the restrictions of dieting. The French Twist  offers a realistic, commonsense, tried and true approach—core values  that include the concept of a person’s natural weight, nourishment,  pleasure, healing, and the welfare of future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morgan James Publishing llc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359732367703,"sku":"9781614481621","price":12.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781614481621.jpg?v=1754125546","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-french-twist-twelve-secrets-of-decadent-dining-and-natural-weight-management-9781614481621","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
