Healthy books :P

I've read French Women Don't Get Fat. Thought it was a great read, uplifting and humorous. I think it's worth reading, I think I read it on a 2 or 3 hour flight, having a glass of Champagne.

My two take-aways from the book:

1) REALLY enjoy what you're eating and eat the best quality food you can afford. Have a love relationship with your food and ask yourself if what you're eating is worth putting in our body. (This is a French author remember)

Quality over quanity ie, "low-fat", "zero-calorie" but tastes like crap type of food or not too much bang for your buck. I found that I'm way more satisfied if I eat a smaller quanitity of richer foods, ie healthy fats - avocado, butter, lean grass-fed beef, fish, etc. Full discloure though - I do not eat grains, but in this book she does. I just found for myself it helps keep sugar levels even and helps a LOT with cravings.

2) Drink Champagne! seriously...but not too often (One drink you can sip forever and I love her tip on how she has one glass of Champagne over a 4 hour dinner...)

Come back and let us know what you think after you've read the books...
