Drop 21 Pounds The French Way
A recent study comparing the habits of nearly 300 Parisians and Chicagoans explains one possible reason why more than 20 percent of Americans fell into the overweight category, compared with just 5 percent in the French group, who weighed 21 pounds less on average. When it comes to putting their forks down, our croissant-loving counterparts are more likely to rely on internal cues, including feeling full, wanting to save room for dessert, or not liking the taste of a food. Americans, on the other hand, tend to be triggered by external cues, such as stopping when food is gone or a TV show is over. Source: Cynthia A. Sass, MPH, RD, in the July 2008 issue of Prevention.
