    I went to Paris two years ago and lost 3 pounds by just walking around. My sister and I even climbed the steps of the Eiffel Tower up to the point where we were required to use the elevator. I enjoyed croissants, macaroons, and crepes and still lost weight. We observed many women biking, so I believe their lifestyle contributes tremendously to their lean bodies.

    I dont know if this is true or not but my friend who studied abroad in France said when he had meals with his French host family, they would not ask if he is full yet, instead they would ask if he is no longer hungry. If this is somewhat true, I think it really says a lot about how values affect dietary cultures in different countries. These two different questions may carry a close meaning and intention, but the difference in wordings do have an impact on how people eat. Instead of feeling like you can finish the meal only when you are stuffed and full, you can intuitively tell when you are satisfied and no longer needs to eat more. Again, if it's true, that may explain why people in different countries have an easier time staying in shape than most Americans.

      And it’s true, a lot of people think French are thin because they smoke, it is an hunger cutter, at least a bit, but it is no amazing secret.
      The key of French thin size is to eat everything in small quantities : meat vegetables pasta fruits, “manger équilibré”, and not eating too fast.

    The French don’t put on weight for two reasons :
    - portions: they have small portions of several things, just a little bit of everything and don’t feel frustrated.
    - A lot of them smoke cigarettes. Cigarette makes them loose weight and has a real appetite-suppressant effect.

    You're spot on with the fruits and vegetables. Another thing is to eat slowly. A Frenchman in the 18th century once described the American eating lifestyle as "Gobble, gulp, and go." If there is anything I've hated about being American is that we always seem to be in a hurry to go somewhere else. I lived in Italy where everything seemed to be pasta in huge quantities. I learned to slow down and eat less. I didn't lose any weight, but I felt so much better.

    • @smitty1919
      @smitty1919 11 місяців тому +2

      You’re spot on with this. It’s so important to slow down and chew your food thoroughly. The first part of our digestive system is our mouths where the food is mechanically broken down. I’ve watched people swallow their food whole and I wonder, do they even get to taste it?

    • @aaronying4989
      @aaronying4989 5 місяців тому +2

      Yes something I always hated and noticed was being made fun of or pointed out that I ate slowly or was a slow eater or chewed a lot. It’s healthy!! Yet in the states it seems as weird or like a weakness?? Americans seem proud of eating too fast, or being unhealthy

  • @muggensan8611
    @muggensan8611 6 років тому +171

    as a french the first thing that surprised you when you are in a trip in usa is that the food is everywhere , everytime , americans seems to need to have something to eat at their disposal in any circumstance ( and of course this kind of food you can get everywhere is usually fatty food) . For french people food is basically for meals not for anytime. second thing is about soft drink , so much sweet drinks everywhere in HUGE quantity , you have almost a big bottle in a glass and you can ,in a lot of places, have others drinks freely as long as you want... having said that , i enjoyed my street hotdogs and my iced teas in unlimitted quantity and all the exotic junk food restaurant chains , shame on me 😂

    • @ceecee867
      @ceecee867 6 років тому +5

      There IS an anorexia problem in France though, whut o_o... In fact, there is even a law against anorexic models to apply to try to see if this epidemy stops (wich is fantastic btw - and usa ffs needs to make this happen; any country really).
      All I know is that every single person I ever met/spoke to that went to france, uncluding myself and my entire family, couldn't handle the whole smoking thing in France, contrary to any other country we went (including usa - including damn Russia lmao). Everyone speaks about french smoking, is def a thing.
      Then again, it may just be the culture of smoking anywhere (even in inside places - even waiters!!) that sets that idea to everyone (anyone _'civilized'_ anyway). And 18% of americans smoke contrary to 30% of french, so yeah usa smokes more but there is far more people and the places are far bigger (wich that alone helps even more, plus the culture of not smoking just about anywhere).
      Either way, it's an issue. Smoking, drinking, eating, not eating a lot (that this even becomes clearly visible to anyone else) is a signal of self control issues that both your countries need to fix for sure (instead of pointing out wich one is the worse -_-). Blesssss

    Most people have a general idea of what they should be eating, but might be too lazy or ignorant on how to prepare food. It's really a matter of education and adopting certain habits. It's difficult for people who were raised on white bread, bologna, and pop tarts instead of healthy food, or perhaps had parents who cooked poorly (it's pretty easy to make vegetables unappetizing).

France is full of smokers and don't deny it, they aren't #2 for highest cancer rates for no reason........ Barely anyone smokes in the US anymore, because of rules, and its not deemed socially acceptable. Not all Americans eat a lot of crap also, stop using that stereotype that all Americans are fat. And at least we don't have our incomes robbed from us for lousy, socialist healthcare... But how can I blame you? French are the most arrogant in the world. Fact.

    • @doctrinamscio1983
      @doctrinamscio1983 6 років тому +2

      Honey, sorry if I offended you honestly. Neither of us are trash, I am just trying to state how public healthcare is really not the best:
      Here in the US, we have insurance so it barely costs a cent depending on who you have. Meanwhile we still get to keep most of our paychecks (you have a choice to get healthcare or not, so if you don't- you save the money and lets hope never get ill) .
      How is our system corrupt? Why would we want to pay for a healthcare from our income when we don't need it 24/7?
      Im sorry but America is the best. Unlike other countries, we don't have to live in fear of civil wars between religious groups, corrupt governments (North Korea) , terrorist groups within the countries terrorizing their OWN people .
      Please don't compare us with countries that want us dead.(basically most communist ones)
      The reason universal healthcare system people think United States healthcare is bad:
      You all agree our health care is terrible because poor people in European countries can live off of the government while here if you are poor you are POOR and have to find a way to survive. (even though our poor are considered rich in third world) ..... Yes, we have our shelters but we don't hand out "public" housing. You poor here? get a job, you poor in England etc. ? live off the hard working people.
      Why should my paycheck from a job that I earned after going to Uni be paid to a drug addicted person leeching off of me?
      I honestly feel sorry for you all. You sir, probably have a very nice job, yet as stated here most of your paychecks are taken for taxes. HMM what are these taxes used for? www.oecd.org/ctp/tax-policy/taxing-wages-20725124.htm healthcare! You should not have to pay for others when you have to pay for yourself already! you should be able to keep your hard earned money and do what you please (charities etc) #thankyouTRUMP.
      Sorry that you felt the need to call me trash and double negate me! Imma stupid dumb!!, sorry If I offended you earlier. Frankly, I am too tired to read my first comments after your 100 page book of a one. Yes we will probably never agree, because we were both brought up in different countries thinking we are right (same as people brought up in different religions)
      Hence both are somewhat arrogant. I do agree some Americans are IGnorant due to the fact that we only have Canada and (pretty unsafe to travel to) latin American countries. Meanwhile Europeans are surrounded by all the European countries and asian! very jealous of you! we are very patriotic so i see why we appear to be very... arrogant, however we just are not as cultured, which is not our fault (geography's and monetary). In all, nice chat with you! Sorry if I offended you, lets agree to disagree, and if I ever see your name on a video again fighting for something I agree with, I will back you up (:

If keeping a distance with people, saying thank you constantly (probably more than in any other countries) is arrogant then we are definitely arrogant people. Maybe you are more used to people being outgoing. What is the norm for you might not be the norm for everyone and that's fine. We all act differently depending on the place we are from.

    I don't comment usually, but this video is the worst in term of self acceptance and cliches. I am French, I am 18, 1m 79 for 75 kg and I don't look like them at all, but you would probably say I'm the French stereotype. The thing I struggle the most with, here, is their choice of women. They give the idea that we are all skinny and under 35 years old. We do appear to be around 1m65, for 50 kg or less, and aware of a national secret that allows us to eat "patisseries" without gaining weight. The thing is we eat almost the same things than you do, and we do have a lot of junk food, obesity is rising, traditional cooking and self acceptance deseapear.
    So don't take this women as examples, they are not. They are 15% of the french women. Eat what you want but don't destroy your mental health or your physical health. Sharpen your body accordingly to what your own beauty standards are and keep a balance. That's the only thing to remember and that is not a national secret. Come on, don't be cliche ! Be a real French woman !
