The French mouth is an abmoination, although I think that is changing. Everytime I go to the dentist here, he ohs and ahs over my teeth, which believe me are nothing spetacular, just healthy. Anyway I wanted to point something out to all of you if you are dreaming of being skinny like a French woman. They are small boned people. The guys are skinny too! Also, in addition to walking alot as someone mentioned, the French don't snack much. They sit down for their meals. Try just eating three meals a day, nothing else. You'll find you get mighty darn hungry, and might even drop a few pounds. Sounds like a fun book - I'm defintely going to read it. Good point jessieleigh!

I think one of my kids was a newborn and I was up at 5 in the morning with some morning show on in the background. :) I'll definitely look into it! I'm not after losing any weight, but I do find the concept both logical and fascinating. And, it's true, we live in the fattest nation I have ever been in. We do have good teeth though... ;) I was intrigued when I first heard about this book… I think one of my kids was a newborn and I was up at 5 in the morning with some morning show on in the background. :) I’ll definitely look into it!

I live in Washington, DC and get to walk almost all of my errands - grocery store, bank, to and from my son's preschool, etc. It makes a difference for sure! The suburbs are a killer in that regard - city life helps melt those calories away. Don’t forget a very important part of European life: WALKING!

I'd be interested to see if your eating habits do indeed change as a result of reading this book. Let us know! A very interesting concept, to say the least.
