An Age of Magic

Why are French women so slim – it has something to do with cows…

There was  a book published not long ago relating to this topic but having lived in France there is substance to this – French women tend to be thinner than their European counterparts and maybe this has something to do with not how much they do not eat but what they DO eat.

Dairy food. Studies have shown that eating cheese and dairy can not only suppress appetite but help shed excess pounds. This study was carried out in Australia and those people who increased their intake of cheese, low fat milk and yoghurt actually lost more weight than others. They also had lower blood pressure and less body fat.

I happen to know that the French do enjoy their cheese – we all know that – and yoghurt is a staple food at breakfast time in France. Why not give it a try…?
