It's a diet book. It's like every other diet book. I thought the diet itself (although the book says repeatedly that you're not dieting, you very clearly are) seemed reasonable enough but all the words used to justify why this is the one diet you need were kind of obnoxious. Lots of fallacies of logic. Cited the EWG, which is a giant red flag to me. But sure, I'm trying it. LOL

Excellent analysis of the effects of eating processed food made almost entirely of chemicals combined with the on-the-go lifestyle of the average American, who skips breakfast while eating vast amounts fast-food and sickeningly sweet “so-called coffee” product. Consuming it all in a fog of appetite brought on by starving and binging. While our French counter-parts make an art of dining on whole rich delicious foods (in abundant moderation) in a social atmosphere. Makes one look at the many gym memberships and exercise equipment bought in haste and then abandoned soon after, while Monsieur et Madame get more out of just daily walking.
While Dr. Clower’s conclusions do not come as much of a surprise, as most of us have known for ages the advantages of European diets, the doctor’s suggestions on how to incorporate French health practices into our lives, are well documented and easy for the non-scientists among us to understand.
A definite recommend to anyone interested in getting off the hamster wheel of diet-binge-weight gain-diet.
