For fans of The Fat Fallacy and French Women Don't Get Fat, and for anyone interested in how to eat rich food for effortless weight loss-and never diet again.

The most delicious and decadent way to lose weight, lower cholesterol, and increase energy.

Wouldn't you rather savor a buttery croissant instead of inhaling an artificially

flavored diet shake? Isn't taking a relaxing stroll preferable to pounding out early

morning miles on the treadmill? The French live this way, yet stay thin and healthy.

Now, with The French Don't Diet Plan, you can, too!

In his groundbreaking book,

The Fat Fallacy, Dr. Will Clower was the first to present a

theory of how the French

maintain low obesity and heart disease rates despite their seemingly ""unhealthy""

lifestyle. Dr. Clower learned that the French don't worry about dieting but rather

are more concerned with how they eat. That means paying attention to the taste, pacing,

and enjoyment of meals, instead of counting calories, cutting fat and carbs, or taking

guilt trips to the gym.

Now, in The French Don't Diet Plan, Dr. Clower shows how easy it is to incorporate

his remarkably effective techniques and the French lifestyle into a busy American

day.

Dr. Clower has found that natural foods have overwhelmingly been pushed out

of the American diet by what he calls ""faux foods""- processed, additive-filled convenience

products, often marketed as healthy with buzzwords like low fat and low carb. In

addition, mealtimes should be a slow, sensual break for the body and mind-not a face-stuffing

frenzy while standing up in the kitchen or sitting behind the wheel. As a result

of such habits, Dr. Clower says, we are not eating what our bodies need, and we're

eating in a way that is not conducive to proper digestion. Science shows this precise

combination of factors causes weight gain.

The French approach is about taking the

time to enjoy real food without guilt or deprivation. Not only a successful path

to becoming thin for life, The French Don't Diet Plan will help you put joie de vivre

back into your relationship with food.

. Formerly forbidden foods, welcome back! Learn why butter, cheese, bread,

and chocolate are health foods that keep hunger at bay.

. Spend

more time eating! Discover why you should plan on having seconds and make meals last

longer.

. Hate to work out? Find out why you don't have to exercise

to lose pounds-and how relaxation can help keep weight off for good.

.

Now you're cooking. Enjoy dozens of easy recipes for satisfying comfort foods,

from Hot Artichoke-Cheese Dip to Creamy Alfredo Sauce, and Double-Almond Biscotti

to Practically Flourless Chocolate Cake.
