Well... to be honest, this blog is more fashion/beauty oriented and even the books i'll recommend in it are books within that field.
So even if this "bows and ribbons" blog is a feminine blog after all, i think that some issues (like weight) touches both women and men, even if we're more neurotic about it lol...
so peeps... sit back and enjoy reading the review of this book i'm about to recommend:
i remember a couple of years ago when it was released and placed on the "Bestsellers List" i was with my best friend Heba in Booksplus in Mercato and there it was, on the shelf... all we could read was the provocative title "French Women Don't Get Fat" lol... I remember we both rolled our eyes while giving a sarcastic laugh... but really we didn't know what the book was really about so don't blame us!
Publicity came in and the book became really famous: Oprah, Internet ads... etc. I turned to Amazon.com and found out that there's a continuation of the title "the secret of eating for pleasure" ... ok ... interesting....
i read on...
basically... it's about things we should know and do to help us live a more healthy life (duh!)
ok here's the Amazon.com review:
It turns out that you CAN lose weight while still loving food, as long as you remember the following commandments:
1. Don't avoid food, love it, you need it to simply stay alive. But if you love it, then savor every bite of it.
2. Eat slowly, chew it well, prolong the time of pleasure. Just by doing that you will eat less.
3. Always use fresh ingredients, don't warm up yesterday's leftovers.
4. Don't give up on fats, or carbs - you need them all. Just use them moderately.
5. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Drink a lot of water.
6. Stay away from processed foods; focus on quality, unprocessed, fresh ingredients.
7. Lead an active lifestyle; use your muscles in your everyday life: take the stairs, walk to your grocery shop, or to your barber, etc...
8. Breathe fresh air.
9. Balance your lifestyle, focus on pleasure.
10. Use common sense to stay healthy!
