Yep - the French have some of the naughtiest and most delicious food in the world. All their pastries that they love to eat.. but the secret is - they eat it in small doses.

If you sat down and had a whole chocolate cake in one sitting, do you think you’d gain the same amount of weight if you ate the cake over a week? No. Of course not. It’s all about how much energy you consume (including sugars and fat) and how much energy you burn… not over a week but over the time it takes to burn off the excess food consumed.

Remember your body stores whatever fat and carbs it doesn’t use. So if you sit down and eat a whole cake, you’re going to find most of that will be stored on your body rather than burned up - like it would if you only had a small piece of cake each time.

The French and their food are all about high quality and low quantity. So if you have the most delicious food in small quantities, you’ll find you will be able to maintain your weight.
