Follow the French diet

Oprah has been banging on for years about how French women seem to eat whatever they like and never put on weight. Having been present at more than one French campsite boule competion over the years, where the dress code is a Speedo and slops, I’m not convinced that the effect ex-tends to French men, but the principle of the ‘good food diet’ is definitely sound. Every cooking enthusiast I know has two things in common: an ob-session with cooking from scratch with fresh ingredients and a good figure. Start learning to cook a couple of interesting things well and I can pretty much  guarantee that after a while you’ll be eating better, healthier and greener.
