For example, I recently attended a barbeque on a Parisian balcony (beautifully decorated with about 25 different plants - I'd die to have a huge balcony like that) with a mixture of French guys and girls. What did the barbeque consist of? Well, it was merguez on baguettes with french fries, lots of rhum, vodka, absinthe, and about 6 bags of chips. This doesn't really seem much different than it's American counterpart, just substitute hot dogs or hamburgers for the merguez.
The interesting part? The French girls (very slim - normal) ate about half a bag of chips each and way more merguez than I did! They didn't exactley seem to be following the French Women Don't Get Fat rules. It must be good genes, or they must make up for it later. I'll have to keep my eyes open. They did drink much less alcohol and Diet Coke than I did. Maybe that has something to do with it.
The only French woman I can think of who follows those French Women rules was my old mean host mom, who told me I ate too much and would only eat about two spoonfuls of lentils and 1/2 a filet of fish for dinner each night. After lentils at every meal, I don't think I'll ever eat them again.

It is obvious you did not read the book. the book says that, if u want to eat rubish junkie food at a party, go on and diet heavily next day. Or eat nothing the whole day before the party.
This is why the french slim girls ate more than you did and still they r thinner- probably what they had ,that was about all they ate that day. I have a cousin who is just like that ( and my husband is just like that). He has a whole chocolate bar every day and still, amazingly fitt and thin. But that chocolate equalls half of the day - no more eating for at least 10 hours after having it. Tu comprends ?
