Thank you so much for your answers guys, I love it. I tend to agree with the fact that it's unfair to other kids. I was born and raised in France so that is very different already. In France, you get served a balanced meal at lunch. It's not a thing for kids to bring their own lunches. So everybody gets the same meal…

I read somewhere that fizzy water could lead to bloating... I don't care, still can't go without. And regardless, it's much better than soda

I give him larger portions, and add ingredients to his plate. I give him twice the amount of rice I eat for example etc. Works fine

Can Probiotics help? I found some with pectin in it. That might be helpful in cases like this.

I disagree with the trainer's advice... Anything should be included in moderation. There is no world in which fruit is bad for you. I understand it's full of sugar but also full of goodness!

You should try to train yourself to like those foods, by introducing them to your diet progressively. Or, apparently, some people don't like other foods because of some problem and then, I would go see a GP.

Having no major responsibilities Having the parents cook and clean for you

I have to say I have the most gorgeous cat in the world although I've seen some pretty good competition out here! She is close to 16 years old but still acts like a very young cat! And acts like a dog! A ball of cuteness!

Yes, apparently it's chaos over there! My brother lives in Waltham with his fiance. They are both fine, thank god, but really really freaking out! Boston is supposed to be such a safe place - they've never been scared. Stay safe everyone!

The boy with the stripped pijamas. I cried for hours and was seriously depressed. I also stopped eating for a few hours.

You know, in France (where I come from), shows like this simply don't exist. First, because we believe that food should be in moderation and that food should be fresh and healthy. Cooking shows in french include cooking up a storm with good quality, fresh products... And France is not overweight.

For one minute I thought it was about Boston then saw the URL. Enough with the killing already !! We are the only species on earth who kills his own for no reason (no good enough reasons!) This needs to STOP

Revenge and Downton Abbey By far the two shows I could not stop watching! I also love the Following, Walking Dead, 2 Broke Girls... Go watch Downton Abbey and Revenge if you haven't already

I was on 1200 calories / day for 3 months. I did lose weight but was enable to exercise because I felt nauseous and tired. I had head aches, nausea and bad mood very often and just didn't feel like myself at all. I did lose weight but stalled quickly. After that, you can't really lower your calories because you won't get…

A friend of mine (professor at university) did research on diet coke and found negative effects, he was never able to publish his research because coca cola and others were threatening him with law suits and so on. Any company that is ready to threaten a school and professor for research is proof enough for me that it…

I lived in Singapore for a while, so it's not really Chinese but still kind of is. Actually, rice is a huge staple in their diet. It's not occasional it's everyday. You have rice then a side of meat and vegetables. They are not obese because they walk around and are generally quite active. They are not obese because they…

Cruelty to animals, hate crimes, people who don't respect others while driving (you just have to move your fingers and put on your signal, how else am I going to guess that you want to turn??) People not getting up for pregnant women or women carrying babies (especially true for the Paris transportation system) Rude people…

I think it's a great PR stunt!

No breed is aggressive. A dog will turn aggressive if he has a bad owner

Youtube has it. Free

France is actually quite good about all this. We usually have at least one hour for lunch, and it's good food. It starts from a VERY young age: in kindergarden, and after that and very strict about eating what's on your plate. I remember a few times having to stay with a Teacher assistant because I did not want to eat my…

I was born and raised in France which is why I am very critical about this whole thing. I blame it on the lack of food education. When I was about 10 years old, we had several nutrition classes where we learned about protein, fiber and so on. Which foods to avoid and which to enjoy. I have never been overweight in my life…

That is Amazing! You have had incredible results! I am just starting strength training and would like to start lifting at some point so you are an inspiration

The best best thing I had was a steak and gratin dauphinois in Paris at a restaurant called l'Ange Gardien. It was quite far from my house but I would go in a minute because it's so good

Why not just a herbal tea?

I don't think it's a problem either! When people need to check browsing history and so on, just to check he isn't watching porn that's messed up! I want my boyfriend to be able to fantasise about women without feeling guilty because that's not healthy at all ! I even point at girls in the street for him to look at and then…

I was in denial about my weight for a while, blaming it on hormones and so on. It clicked when I saw a picture of myself the first time, and also, after I came home after 4 months away and my mother's face when she saw the weight I gained. Then my boyfriend being very supportive but honest. I knew it was time to change for…

You look amazing!
