WHY FRENCH WOMEN DON'T GET FAT part 2: French diet tips from a French nutritionist! | Edukale

I'm glad you mentioned physical activity. Years ago I joined my local gym because I just wanted to move around, one of the trainers asked me what my goal was, and I said I just wanted to be healthy, he looked at me very surprised and after that day, he didn't talk to me ever again because my goal wasn't to lose weight but simply be healthy. Is like exercise has to be painful and centered in weight loss when it can also be about feeling good.

Moderation is key. Listening to your body is so important. Everyone hears this but everyone likes to overcomplicate it. Once I started doing this I lost weight just from a diet cause I wasn’t able to workout.

I find that when people are really hard on themselves and deprive themselves of the foods they really enjoy (instead of having them in moderation) then they will end up over eating them and punish themselves for it. That is a really unhealthy way of treating yourself and food

I noticed this at Japanese women, moderation. They eat rice, bread, cakes but... small portions and careful how they mix foods. Rice with fish or veggies and steak with salad. In France I noticed parents don't over fees children. Children eat the same thing as parents but smaller portions. My brothers always placed salad on his kids plates since they were young and they now help themselves with salad, it's normal.

I have lived abroad and in the US and agree with everything you say. Also, many of the good French habits of moderation used to be the norm in the US as well. My grandmother ate everything in moderation, was busy and active, but never went to a gym and lived to be 101. We can't just take a walk, it now has to be a "hike." And it's so true about young American women spending their days in sloppy sweatpants and no makeup, but their nights in full glam. This is also something that was not done here until the last ten or 15 years. A terrible trend. Loving your videos!

I started learning French a month ago, there is something that makes me feel so connected to this country.

I'm really enjoying your emphasis on moderation and not becoming obsessed with food or weight.

Over the last month or so, I've started taking this approach when it comes to my eating - eating intuitively with no restrictions / everything in moderation and it has done wonders for my mental health. I've also been losing weight as a result which is awesome too. Also, one of my close friends is French and she has similar habits to the things you share. Really enjoying your content!

I feel bad about how many disclaimers you have to make and how careful/worried about offending you have to be because people can't use common sense/accept that there are always exceptions, duh.

i'm obsessed with these videos i was so excited to see you made a part 2 omg

I literally just watched part one an hour ago 😳😳 so happy you uploaded a part 2!!

The information you're providing is really the best I've heard on this subject, and probably the best information available. I love how clear and concise, yet thorough you are in your presentation style, and so appreciate that you cite a lot of research in your videos.

I appreciate that you give us the studies. You're doing the right thing and that also shows that you have respect for your viewers' intelligence!

Loving your content

This is fabulous thank you 😊

I enjoyed both parts! I especially enjoy your focus on the pleasure of food, the pleasure of self care, the pleasure of staying active!

I really appreciate that you reference the pubmed articles 💕

Loving these - please make more about the French way of living, it sounds so wonderful! I’d love to hear more about French ideas on skincare, hair, and style.

I'm looking forward to part 2.

Dear Lucie, I know your channel is for nutrition and health but I would like to know if you could make a video about your beauty and self-care routine. Or if you prefer to make it less personal, a video about that "pamper and getting ready routine" from french ladies. Thank you
