    I've been to France several times and lived with families there for French immersion programs. My observations are similar to those above. The families I lived with did not have kitchen pantries full of soda and chips. They ate small portions of several foods at meals and they tended to walk more. None of the families I lived with ate snacks at any time of the day. I think it adds up to the same "eat less, move more" that is generally the effective way to maintain a fit body.

    If you can do that without counting calories, more power to you.

    (Wait for it - some British person will come on here now and say they eat black pudding 3 times a day and drink nothing but Pepsi).

    Yum, black pudding and Pepsi, my favourite meal. Not. I've never even tried black pudding, the thought of it makes me feel sick.

    We only get fizzy drinks for parties, and I like lemonade if I'm ill. I'm more a coffee drinker. I think I should've been French really :smile: I also love wine, although rarely drink.
