Ever wondered why French women don't get fat, despite their love of good food?  Well you aren't alone. There was even a whole book about it. First published in 2004, "French Women Don't Get Fat" by Mireille Guiliano has been translated into 40 languages and sold over 3 million copies worldwide. This book is all about the French's unique approach to eating, which combines a love for satiating full-fat meals, an appreciation for their culinary heritage, a love of cooking and an untainted enjoyment of what they eat. Sound familiar?  Focusing on satisfying foods? Cooking at home? Enjoying your food minus the guilt? Is it possible to enjoy food without guilt and still maintain a healthy lifestyle? This episode is more than just an exploration of French eating habits. It's another notch in our belt against diet culture, aiming for a healthier and more joyful relationship with food.  So, are you ready to redefine your eating habits and fall in love with food all over again? Once you've listened, you'll be inspired to start cooking at home more... so here are some FREE budget friendly recipes for you. EDIT: No doubt 'Why French Women Don't Get Fat' is 100% a diet book. While eating satisfying foods is something I am a HUGE fan of, there certainly is a lot I don’t agree with in the book. I definitely don’t subscribe or endorse this book or pathetic diet leek soup (which tastes like watery onion nonething-ness).
