French Diet Tips!

                              Happy Spring!

 

 Bonjour Ladies!

Here we are! Short dress may be green, or a pair of short with a nice top, designer purse and mules. An absolute "Must" this Spring.

 I just named "one basic outfit" in to walk around the city of light. I meant: Paris, France! Santa Monica, or Pacific Palisades (Yes, we’ll enjoy the city again!)-ready for Happy hour! Aperitif in French! Pronounce A-pai-ree-teef.

First French diet tip today?

We have to and we want to look good! Yes, we can! What's the secret Parisian diet secret for summer to come? First of all, the good news is that it's easier than in winter! Why? A skeptical is asking… Because in winter we usually eat more…comfort food? Non, non! 🙈

Go to the outdoor market and get fresh vegetables, eat salads and slow down on the bread (Go half a slice, you’ll limit the damages).  One of my Parisian Diet Secret! And hold on the French Fries!

If you really need to have some! Here is a secret tip: Have a green salad with it (😁 on Green Earth day!) -but only a small portion (I am talking about the fries! Two potatoes maximum!) No limit on the lettuce obviously! Lettuce will help to digest anyway. That works for me!

Another fast and easy Parisian tip to boost your motivation is to Get Tan! Be cautious on natural sun at the beach (Vitamin D is always good but with moderation). Don't do the (French) crepe! (Meaning don’t stay for hours under the sun, turning back and forth on your stomach, otherwise you'll like a “burned one” in a few years!) A burned crepe! 😳 and don't forget sunscreen. it doesn't prevent you to tan, it is protecting you! 😎

The best and the safest in my opinion self-tanning lotion! Guess what! No limits!

Being tan not only will give you a nice glow but it will make you look slightly thinner! 😉 Now the laziest are smiling.

Another efficient tip: exercise every day. Regularity is the key to success!! Don't sweat at the gym for 3 hours every two weeks!  It's better to walk 10 mn everyday than sweating for 3 hours at the gym every 10 days!

Now, a very simple French beauty secret: Instead of using your car put on your sneakers and walk or get a bike- not an electric one- and breathe under the sun (along the beach for me)! Instead of driving! “Mea culpa” (My old Latin from French high school. It means I’m guilty of that, as well! No excuses!

                                             

Don't forget to drink water or no sugar added fruit juice! Stop sodas that’s worse especially “diet” soda! it’s totally unhealthy! (Full of chemicals)

Go to the park! Watch the trees 🌳🌴 and enjoy! Look at the nature! we're running so much all year long that we don't watch at anything or anyone anymore (No! stop watching at your I phone every five second, don't! yes, even if you're watching the stocks. Get out after the market close, then. 

Just relax and have a break with your smartphone for at least 15mn! We all become little robots texting everywhere, technology is great but sometimes we may miss some nice moments, forget to enjoy life and end up being driven by technology all day long! It’s good to have break sometimes!

And yes, you can have an ice cream but only one scoop not two! Or make your own one-even better- with low fat yoghurt! (My recipe soon) Moderation is one of our secrets to look effortlessly fabulous! and skip the whip cream or the candies topping! It's not necessary anyway, if you're having a high-quality ice cream!

You don't need that! believe me! Trust my Dna! I know we're not in Italy! but you can find some decent Gelato in US!

In France we enjoy good food & good wine.

So you can choose a dessert you like and enjoy it! (Not more than once a week...;)


Conclusion:

The Parisian women's diet is a perfect blend of indulgence and balance. By savoring every bite, prioritizing fresh ingredients, practicing portion control, enjoying a glass of wine in moderation, you can adopt a delicious and healthy approach to eating. 

Remember, food is not just fuel for our bodies; it is a life celebration and a way to nourish our souls.

So, "Sil vous plaît" embrace the joie de vivre of French cuisine and bon appétit!

Et voila!

My definition of a Parisian woman style: Feel good and enjoy life!

If you feel good, you'll look good!

One more thing! Keep ‘on smiling, no matter what! Always!

Au Revoir Ladies ! 

See you soon! A bientôt!

 Marielle
