In the hectic vacation break, i did manage to read some books and i discovered this one quite by chance in my mother-in-law's collection. Titled "French Women Don't get fat" by Mireille Guiliano, it made me re-commit myself to healthy eating.
The books reads easy and best of all it does not ask us to refrain from anything. Moderation is the mantra and feeling great in your skin is what its all about. It has some easy recipes and talks about the importance of good quality ingredients which makes all the difference when it comes to tasting food and of course very do-able exercises such as walking and climbing stairs. The simplicity of the ideas put forth in the book really appealed to me and i would definitely recommend it to anyone who is trying to tweak their current lives into a healthier life.
You can have a preview of the same on the website http://www.mireilleguiliano.com
It also appealed to me because her suggestions are not very difficult to implement and some quick fixes to get you started really do work. There are some interesting references to "good dressmakers" in the book and just to deviate from the book, i did get some dresses altered to fit better - and i must say a well tailored dress makes one look and feel so much better - so succumbing to nostalgia - i do miss the shopping for dress materials and the visits to the tailor - good old fashioned ways (i had no idea that i would miss them so much some day) - apologize for taking the liberty of a poetic license.
So all in all what can i say - have a look at the website and if you are impressed as i was, i am pretty sure you will want to read the book.

This is indeed an interesting book more so the author makes getting in shape sound so easy and basically makes it stress free. I had seen her on the Oprah show & loved everything that she said.
I think drinking red wine after a heavy meal is also one of their secrets. Isn't it?Red wine is full of antioxidants.
Please god let me be born a frenchwoman in my next life. Yo have to hand it to them- they are so so effortlessly stylish.
