SubscribeMireille Guiliano in her book ‘French Women Don’t Get Fat’ tells us that French women have a healthy relationship with their body. They also tend not to snack, or binge, and they steer clear of processed foods.
According to Guiliano, there are a number of things that French women do differently to a lot of American, Canadians and Australians including giving themselves permission to eat cake and chocolate. Of course the key here is GIVING THEMSELVES PERMISSION rather than classifying them as a forbidden food. Not having a list of forbidden foods can put an end to bingeing, as we find at BodyZen when women take up our Eating Program, which is about 100% permission. Paradoxically, when you allow yourself to eat any food, you will break the diet shackles and you will normalize your weight over time.
So if you like the sound of this approach a simple yet powerful action you can take is to determine what is the food you forbid yourself the most. Work it out, and then make it something you can have whenever you like. The only proviso is to make sure you eat it mindfully so you get maximum pleasure with less, which is the complete opposite to binge eating. Enjoy!!!
