I have gained and lost weight many times , I was frustrated when I put back all the weight I lost , then i read about french eating habits , I started by stopping snacking , replacing sweets with fruits , having good quality dark chocolate 🍫, stopping carbonated drinks , and walking daily , i lost 15 kgs and never put it on 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 we live in india so we don't have sugary cereals, or lot of processed food
@@ms.frederiquethanks for reply🥰🥰🥰🥰 yes ,and walking is like meditation , it clears my mind , and getting fresh air really lifts my spirits , so it helps both to lose weight and to relieve stress🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I have struggled with excess weight since my mid teens ( I am now 64). I tried very hard to lose weight but could never manage it for long. After retiring, I found it much easier. I think that low level, chronic stress was the driving force. I would combat stress with junk food. I would watch a lot of TV and eat snack-like things that took no, or very little, preparation. In the last year I have become vegan and lost even more weight as a result. I would never have had the self-control to be vegan when I was working. Stress has a lot to answer for.
Bonjour Frederique! My favorite weight loss tip is to slowly drink a glass of water before each meal. Also, if I ever feel hungry for a snack I always drink mint, chamomile, or sage tea (without sugar) to see if I am really hungry or just thirsty. If I am still hungry, my snacks are usually a piece of fruit or vegetable or a handful of almonds or a small square of dark chocolate. Thank you so much for all these wonderful videos! I will be moving to France in the future and I was wondering if you can make a What French families eat in a day video because all the information I am seeing on the internet is vague or stereotypical. Its impossible for me to imagine French people eating all of these dense foods every single day :P
Absolutely LOVE your style! My bf is sick listening to me talking about the hilarious French woman on RUclips 🙈🙈😂😂... you’ve a great cheeky FUN personality , brilliant videos ... 👏🏻 👏🏻.. love it 😍 especially the style and elegant French tips videos☺️
Great advice overall. I only differ in one way. I eat whole food, plant based food, no sugar, oil. While I'm losing my last 10 lbs I am not having avocado or nuts. I've been eaten a healthy, unprocessed vegan diet for four years. 67 years young and I feel great.
One thing I just learned is that, as we age, we need fewer calories than we think we do-I needed this because I think I struggle with portion sizes from time to time. I challenge myself to see how small a portion I can eat and feel satisfied. Thanks so much for this post Frederique!! Congratulations on adding more followers:)
I lost a lot of weight this year since lockdown started in March (I'm in New York). I was afraid of gaining weight being so sedentary so I simplified my diet to the same thing every day. Breakfast is always a large cappuccino (I'm not a big breakfast eater), lunch is always a few hard-boiled eggs - I get from a local farmer. They're so satisfying. And dinner is a fresh salad or soup, some fish or chicken or meat and whatever fresh vegetables I can find at my farmers market. I may eat some fruit one or two days a week. I don't cut back on fat or oil. I eat very few carbs. I drink a glass of wine with dinner. I go for a walk every day but have not been to a gym in almost 9 months. I've lost about 8 pounds since April. It's really about the food I believe, and not the exercise. Love your videos!
Excellent tips! I feel like walking and fresh air/peaceful time spent outdoors is very underrated, especially in the USA! I try to walk 5 miles a day, it helps me clear my head and I feel so good! I lost a lot of inches while living in Europe from walking and eating healthy, fresh food :)
The lighting in this video is beautiful! Sugar is so addictive and I really never buy sweets and keep them around the house unless it's a special occasion and I tend to eat most of it. Then I get mad at myself. I can't eat high fiber foods so I struggle with getting enough fruits and vegetables into my day, but I try. During this pandemic I eat out at restaurants much less so that's helped me drop a few pounds and I walk every other day for a total of about 17 miles a week. Love the flowers!!
Oscar is adorable! Love seeing him. I do a low carb diet. I refuse to cut out any food groups as I don't think that is healthy (unless you have a medical reason to). Along with low carb, I do intermitent fasting twice per week. I have PCOS and I have always struggled with my weight and the low carb is the only way I have any form of control over it.
On 1st July I weighed at least 12 stone 8, I'm 5ft 6 so was overweight, and didn't like how I looked with or without clothes. I cut down on all sugars and white carbs, while eating plenty of healthy fats, nuts, meats, fish, and vegetables. I'm 50 and have a heart condition so can't go running or to the gym, but do Pilates and go for walks. I now weigh 11 stone 1 and am still losing weight.
I stop drinking coffee and alcohol 🍺 🍷 16 months now ,,, I don’t miss it all and I got six packs after having two kids in less than two years. 🙌 great video thanks 🙏🏿
I have implanted intermittent fasting and cutting out processed food. I try to eat as clean as possible. I am new to your channel and enjoy viewing your videos. You do a great job. I live in Illinois, USA.
You look especially beautiful today!!Agree with all your comments. I disconnected my TV 10 years ago and never looked back. My tips to control weight: Dramatically reduce added sugar and bread, while bread is my favorite food!!! ♥️🥖♥️ Every day walk with my favorite dog ;)))))♥️🐶♥️ No process food at all. Very low meat.🍎🌽🍆🥔 Weight myself every morning so I can adjust my day eating. It motivates me to do better. Do not keep food I do not want to eat at home. Thank you for keeping our spirits up!!!♥️💃♥️
What we eat is what we are. The first thing we should control is our food and try to convince ourselves that eating at the moment may give you great pleasure but later you will regret. Thank you for your videos. They are so interesting!!🙂
Thanks for a fun video, Frederique! Tip: I don't eat after 6:30 pm (except maybe water). Digestion is fully complete before heading to bed, makes for good sleep, and, of course, less calories. Go to bed by 10 pm, get up at 6:30, and you have a great 8 1/2 hours of rest, and no calories for 12 hours. Sort of like a mini-fasting. I try to follow this every day as best as possible. I'm 66 and retired. Walking every day for one hour is my exercise!
Agree with you 100%. I am European and I so miss that lifestyle. The fresh food and outdoors. I walk everyday on my lunch hour since I work from home during Covid. And I cook fresh everyday. We even bake fresh bread no store bought. Live your posts! Merci!
My slim tips are to not eat dessert, only on a weekend or as a treat. Never have second helpings either. One meal a day is usually soup. I don't deny myself anything, so I eat bread, chocolate, patisserie etc, just not very much or often. I hate the gym, but I do try and walk as much as possible. All that seems to work - I'm not tiny but a UK size 10 which I'm happy with. A big no no is don't sit watching tv, snacking at the same time because I used to do that and I'd almost go into a state of hypnosis automatically stuffing my face!
Gorgeous 💗, tks! Vegan diet is saving me, vegan and healthy, zero processed food here, best option ever, almost 18 months and i am feeling wonderful. I do recommend. Love and hugs from Brazil for u and Oscar.
Drink water. When you feel like eating or snacking, drink water! Lots of it. And move around. Small portions, light dinner. Soups are excellent for dinner. Thankyou Frederique xxxx
Great advice , Frederique! Two sides of a coin... I was never over weight before I started a corporate job and spent much I my day at my desk. Yes, I made many l trips up and down stairs at work and at home. Did it help? No. My breakfast was minimal. My lunch was always at a restaurant. Dinner consisted of popcorn and a Coke, if I worked late. And, let's not forget a Snickers candy bar daily. When I became self employed, I went back to healthy eating; not much meat, two servings of fruit and three to five servings of vegetables, very little processed food. Dark chocolate is my usual daily sweet treat in the evening. Drinking enough water (not easy for me) has also made a big difference. My 'trick' is...Because I have given myself permission to eat whatever and whenever I want, I feel free, I make good choices and don't feel deprived. To cut the need for discipline, I bring very little junk food into by home. I exercise more and sleeping is a breeze. I do want to look great, but as years have gone by an even bigger motivator is health.
Drinking water is key for me. Also, I do intermittent fasting. I was never a great breakfast eater, so this works well for me. I struggle with stress and good sleep, but I’m working on it.
I also struggled with sleep since I was 3 years old . I’m almost 40 now . I know this sounds wild , but I told my mind “ you always sleep peacefully” and it started to work !
I stumbled upon your channel this week and I am loving your content and you! Your personality is so fun and engaging. I wish you didn't have to apologize or ask people not to get offended by your tips, they can take or leave them. No need to be offended by someone's opinions or experiences that worked for them.
Common sense really..healthy meals/ fresh food, smaller portions, walking, etc..but, unfortunately in the U.S., too many fall prey to fast and processed foods as well as a fast and processed lifestyle and too sedentary as well. PS- Those lillies are pretty!
Love the video. I've been on a long gradual road to loose weight myself. I eat healthy , my weakness is crisps with sparkling wine! Agh! Just two more pounds to go! The killer for me is the alcohol. So I've decided to buy less but buy better quality! I drink less because of this. Also, it is a real mental exercise for me to resist those habits I've acquired -when and why I have that little cocktail or glass of champagne. For me, learning those 'Triggers' I'm able to overcome and distract with other healthy choices. The reward is priceless! Healthy mind/ Healthy Body. I walk twice a day with my dog and able to swim at the beach is my mental outlet. I highly recommend getting outside with NO electronics, not even EarPods or music. Allowing yourself to be healed from within and listen without all the noise.
I’m a natural nutritionist and in research I’ve done is there are over 49 different chemical names for sugar !!! Its amazing how the food industry has corrupted our way of thinking, thank you for this video. I’m the same age as with menopause a little weight was coming on so every once in a while I do intermittent fasting and eat home cooked meals, as said you know what goes into those, unlike processed stuff!
You are such a bright spot in my day! Thank you for your tips. This year has not been good for the waistline with the lockdown, or for skin with the mask mandates. You are a great inspiration. Like visiting a good friend. Thank you!
Hi Frédérique, just discovered your channel and I'm so delighted! You are so charming! I live in Belgium (Flemish region) and when in Paris, I was told that French women do not work out but they stay slim by multiple short functional walks (daily grocery shopping by foot, walk to work after public transport, walks to café, restaurant...) and that makes sense! And they take a coffee when they feel the need to snack 😂. Belgian women would rather park their car in front of shops, work etc in order to gain time because they work to hard and do not take enough care of themselves! Un très grand merci chère Frédérique et bonne continuation de votre chaîne YT!! Gros bisou de la Belgique!
So much amazingly helpful content. I have violated almost all of the tenets! No wonder I am heavier than I should be. I am 73. I will start with one step at a time. No processed food for 30 days. I will cut my wine in half and replace with ice water and free squeezed lemon. I am excited to see what happens. ❤️ Suzy
I find the best thing when I want to lose weight is intermittent fasting - I stop eating around 5.40-6pm and don’t eat again until lunchtime the next day - if I go that and stick to 1200 calories it really works
Drinking water is a big part of my routine. I have noticed this in between meals snacking or munching on snacks can be brought down by half by drinking water.
I do the exact same thing! I use a bit of Coleman's mustard too. This is my base recipe. Sometimes I change it up by adding some herb, or some grated orange rind. Love this recipe. Try the lemon infused avocado oil.....yum....
My heath tip: Eat two breakfasts. Then eat one to two more meals throughout the day as needed depending on activities and how you feel. My theory is to get warm nourishing slow burning carbohydrates and low inflammation omega-6 fats into the intestinal tract. To give it energy and wake it up. Then as blood sugar is starting to rebound a second breakfast high in protein and fat but low in carbs is given to continue flow of energy. 7-8am-First Breakfast Sauteed apples, pears, plums or berries in a lot of butter with cinnamon, clove, vanilla extract and add walnuts at the end just to warm them. Serve on top of cinnamon oatmeal that is drizzled with maple syrup and a pat of butter. 10-11am-Second Breakfast Three egg omelet with sauteed mushroom medley, herbs and cheese with a side of fresh greens. Or smoked salmon in place of mushrooms I have a BS in Nutrition and Dietetics and study traditional healing methods. Much love😘
You are so correct Frederique. France is the best place for fresh foods. I live in the UK and we frequently travel to France every chance we get. There is no It’s your place to get fresh fruits and vegetables. The beautiful sun and beaches and my love for figure skating and it all adds up to a healthy diet and lifestyle.
when I want to take down some kg I eat cooked millet with yogurt and cranberries and banana :-) it works because if you eat millet you can not get any kg on ...believe me ,,,millet can not make you put on some weight and is very nutriious and nutty flavour..love from Croatia
Looking into intuitive eating has helped me a lot. I get stressed out by the thought of cutting out food groups and controlling my portions, which instantly makes me crave those foods "one more time" and has me starting to obsess over them. I have found a mindset of "eating a lot of what's good for you" and then still allowing myself to eat sweets if I still want them to be most beneficial. That way I never binge on sweets and have started craving healthy foods most of the time naturally.
I would love it if u do a video of your eating 🍽 plate, what you eat all day and the size of plat and food like meats, carbs if u have them! That will be helpful 😍✨🙏🏻
Totally agree with alot of these reasons, especially agree with the 80/20 rule and minimising/eradicating snacking. I have been using Intermittent Fasting 16:8 for around 5 months, its a great way of keeping my calories in check having that 8 hr eating window. I still monitor my intake but it feels pretty effortless way for me to maintain a healthy weight. I eat 3 good sized meals a day and one small snack in my eating window. As for 1200 calories, that is a nope!! alot of misconceptions about the magic number of 1200! only applies if you're very short and very old so it's a HUGE NO on that one! I'm petite, and over 50 but I am also pretty active (average around 14k steps a day and lift weights), I maintain on 1900 calories - if I wanted/needed to lose a few pounds I'd cut back to 1600 to lose 0.5lb approx per week. Eating very low calorie is a sure fire way to lose muscle which we do not want to happen. Oh and carbs are not the enemy, I didn't do without them to lose weight, its just not necessary to cut out carbs....OK think I'm done now LOL
I'm glad you mentioned that white crabs turn to sugar. I live with a diabetic and that's the first thing we learned. No white foods. There are so many great pastas now or make them yourself. Having had no junk or fast food during lockdown was the best thing ever. Now the thought of it makes me sick. Thank you for all your tips. They are spot on.
Love these tips to keep the weight off🥰 Completely off subject, but I am curious about French perfume, your favorites, the classics, and do you wear a scent everyday. I love the scent in Chanel, Dior, YSL makeup too! However, that is looked at as ‘not good’, but it’s fabulous to me💗
Hello Frédérique! This subject is always interesting. Weight is a traumatic word ... Jesus! Thank you for your tips! Have a lovely thursday! Until your next video!
Lots of great tips! I think if you shift your thinking from depriving yourself of food and punishing yourself with exercise to nourishing yourself with delicious, healthy food and moving your body because you want good health, it is a much better motivation. I know I am also most likely to overreat or reach for something unhealthy if I am hungry, so making sure you have satisfying, healthy meals helps too.
Bonjour, Frédérique, intermittent fasting is an extremely effective weight-loss method, and many people have adopted it as a permanent lifestyle regime. It's been shown to have substantial physical and cognitive benefits, as well. However, I realize it is anathema to the French way of eating!
The tip for maintaining the weight of fresh and unprocessed food is to eat until 7 in the evening, maximum sports ..... with us Jews, Rambam said .. in the morning you will eat like a king at noon like a prince and in the evening like a poor man !!! Rambam was a very wise doctor who talked about the health of body and mind and how important it is to maintain the body ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Asking myself if I am really hungry or just bored or tired..intermittent fasting, doing puzzles or giving myself a hand massage instead of snacking when stressed or tired or in front of the tv!
Merci for these great tips! I love intermittent fasting... I only eat/drink alcohol between noon and 8pm. It’s harder now since I am at home and not out working. It’s so much easier when I’m busy and the kitchen is not nearby! Also I drink only black coffee (with no flavor or cream or sweeteners). I love your channel!
You make good points and advice. ............. I dont know how old you are but menopause makes you gain weight. Without changing ANYTHING in your life hormonal changes mean you lose estrogen and your body wants to replace it so holds onto fat because it has an estrogen in it. So at this time of life it is more important than ever to exercise and eat well..... But there is always room for 1 biscuit but the challenge is not demolishing the whole packet.
Another great content-video! I'm so glad you are providing the daily. I love listening and miss Paris so much. I'd like to see live videos, do you ever do those? You:d be great! Though I love how yours are edited. - Your fan 😁
It's also amazing how much better you feel when you stay off the junk! If I cheat I start to feel crappy. Started also to have mostly lean protein and veggies for dinner and eat between 10 am and 6pm then done for the day!!! Love your channel , keep it up!
Walking and yoga every day is the key for my weight control. Additionally, this year I started to eat a vegan and pescatarian diet. By having a protein, vegetable and fruit shake for lunch every day, I started to see great results. Then, I added seafood two times a week. I lost 25 pounds during the time many people were putting on their pandemic pounds. The best part is how good my gut feels.
Just discovered your channel, I love it. One tip I have is never do your shopping for food when you are hungry, you'll just buy rubbish , crisps, biscuits etc !! Xx
Hi, great tips 😀 If I have a dog I would have a French bulldog, but I have a british shorthair and Maine coon cats 😜 My tip is to jogging ca 10 km - 2-3 times a week, avoid meat, no sugar and unhealthy sweets. I lost 10 kg since May 2020 😀 and keep going 😀 Take cate ♥️ Aleksandra
You are fabulous!!! I love all your videos, especially the way you feature Oscar!! I laughed when you started to say 💩 but then you smiled and changed it to Bad!!! You are so like me!!!😂😉💗
Hello Frédérique, Your recommendations on weight loss are healthy and sound. Drinking lots of water is important too. Water is good for your brain, skin and organs. If you’re watching your calories, a big glass of water can help you feel fuller and you know your making your body happy and healthy.
Love your notebook! Just subscribed a couple of days ago. Such fun videos, great channel! When I want to lose weight I eat lots of plants with limited amount of grains, and use fatty foods like nuts and avocados as decorative elements rather than main ingredients. You covered everything else!
To control my proportion intake, I don’t keep goodies at home in the kitchen, only real food. Usually if it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind. If I badly want it, I go out and get it, but generally don’t keep goodies in the home.
My advice is to find healthy foods that you enjoy eating. If you don’t like cabbage, don’t eat it! There are so many natural and healthy foods. You will find something that you truly love to eat, and you won’t feel deprived. Also, if you want a treat, just buy a single serving. That way, you won’t be able to overindulge.
Im definetly what I eat. after a wonderful trip to Paris and a lot of people watching( my favorite thing todo )French women certainly have it all happing in the best ways loving your channel and content. I keep telling myself its all common sense lol.
Sutter home's fre alcohol free wines (don't laugh) have only 25 calories a glass. There are many varieties, including brut. Patrick Bernhardt has excellent meditative music cds.
When you said fast food, that's definitely a big one to stay away from. I had some earlier today, BUT I ordered a happy meal from McDonald's instead of a regular size meal (I have fast food like 1-2 times a month). Satisfied my craving without the guilt and since I'm only 4'11" (149.86 cm), it's like the perfect size for me...at least that's what I'm telling myself since I used to eat the large ones! Made lunch for tomorrow: Quinoa bowl with black beans, sweet potato, chicken, and avocado :D so much better. Also, my favorite weight loss tips are: - Order smaller sizes of food or single serve items if you want a sweet treat. Yes, sugar isn't good for us, but getting a small macaroon ice cream sandwich is better than buying a pint of ice cream or cake unless you plan on sharing it with a friend. I can't have sweets in the house unless I make it myself or I binge. - Intermittent fasting is wonderful for weight loss as long as you don't burn yourself out. Start slow and work your way up. - Drink tea instead of "dessert coffees". I make a matcha latte with almond milk and a little stevia if I want to add some sweetness or drink it plain. If you want coffee, make it yourself or get healthier choices.
Hi Frederique!..... New subscriber here! .....I laughed a lot at this video..... you are a great lady, witty and charming... this vlog reminded me to go back to losing weight..... been going around it for quite some time..... I'm currently doing the Japanese water therapy - drinking 2 glasses of room temp. water upon waking up and eating breakfast after 45mins..... I've done IF (intermittent fasting) before and was thinking about going back to it.....hoping to attend to that soon for my own better health and will try to follow your advice (take note "will try" hahaha) merci beaucoup!
Hi Frederique! I appreciate your tips, you are enegetical and I have fun watching your videos, but Pinot Noir or good wine is important for our health. So we should not cut from wine on weekends, my lovelies -;) . Wish you lot of inspiration XXX
KETO and OMAD Combined, Mad fat loss no cravings. Tons of energy once fat adapted. Best thing I have ever done for myself is to educate myself on how the body stores and burns fat. Intermittent fasting is the fountain of youth. Knowledge is power
I do intermitting fasting, I eat between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. I started 12 hr at first and now I'm here. Feel great. By the way, I love, love Oscar, his grunting and poofing (farting). Just found your channel, informative, and you are so funny. Just what we need in these challenging times. I will catch up and look forward to future videos. Obviously you are enjoying Australia.
You look very nice in that white shirt. I need to lose about 20-30 lbs to be skinny again and I really thought working from home was going to help because I have so much time to exercise. Ends up, I'm just lazy. I do eat a lot of fruit and don't make much unhealthy food but I definitely need to up my vegetable game and control my portion sizes more. I wish I had friends nearby so we could all eat together and SLOW DOWN and talk during dinner. Instead, my husband eats all food in about 3 seconds and even though it takes me longer, I still need to slow down much more.
I recently lost 8 kg... intermittent fasting, and cutting out all sugar, and reducing carbs. It’s surprising how many “so called healthy foods” are loaded with sugar or carbs. Read the ingredients on packages ! I do not eat processed foods....or buy any foods that have additives or a long list of ingredients. Cut out wine....totally, and was hard for the first week....but now do not even feel like it.

I’m Indian too, I live in Europe it’s hard to make long term changes
I have struggled with excess weight since my mid teens ( I am now 64). I tried very hard to lose weight but could never manage it for long. After retiring, I found it much easier.
I think that low level, chronic stress was the driving force. I would combat stress with junk food. I would watch a lot of TV and eat snack-like things that took no, or very little, preparation.
In the last year I have become vegan and lost even more weight as a result. I would never have had the self-control to be vegan when I was working. Stress has a lot to answer for.

What we eat is what we are. The first thing we should control is our food and try to convince ourselves that eating at the moment may give you great pleasure but later you will regret. Thank you for your videos. They are so interesting!!🙂
@@Ingrid0410 heheeh yes absolutely!
Thanks for a fun video, Frederique! Tip: I don't eat after 6:30 pm (except maybe water). Digestion is fully complete before heading to bed, makes for good sleep, and, of course, less calories. Go to bed by 10 pm, get up at 6:30, and you have a great 8 1/2 hours of rest, and no calories for 12 hours. Sort of like a mini-fasting. I try to follow this every day as best as possible. I'm 66 and retired. Walking every day for one hour is my exercise!
Your dog is adorable. ❤️ I'd love to see him more in your videos! Great video! A very helpful one!
thank you x
Agree with you 100%. I am European and I so miss that lifestyle. The fresh food and outdoors. I walk everyday on my lunch hour since I work from home during Covid. And I cook fresh everyday. We even bake fresh bread no store bought. Live your posts! Merci!
Sometimes having our hormones balanced helps as we age.
good to know x
@@OpenSesame33 I started compounded bioidentical hormones about 10 years ago. Best thing I ever did!
@@susangalpin4967 Was that through your GP? I can't take HRT as it gave me migraines.
@@annettewatson4197 i go to a naturopath. The difference i think is the compounded bioidenticals. Compounding provides exactly what my body needs.
@@susangalpin4967 How long have you been on them and what difference did it make to you?
My slim tips are to not eat dessert, only on a weekend or as a treat. Never have second helpings either. One meal a day is usually soup. I don't deny myself anything, so I eat bread, chocolate, patisserie etc, just not very much or often. I hate the gym, but I do try and walk as much as possible. All that seems to work - I'm not tiny but a UK size 10 which I'm happy with. A big no no is don't sit watching tv, snacking at the same time because I used to do that and I'd almost go into a state of hypnosis automatically stuffing my face!
I’m careful what I put in my shopping cart. Stay to the outer Isles ~ making sure we are not hungry when going grocery shopping. ❤️ your videos!!

Gorgeous 💗, tks!
Vegan diet is saving me, vegan and healthy, zero processed food here, best option ever, almost 18 months and i am feeling wonderful. I do recommend. Love and hugs from Brazil for u and Oscar.
I love, love, the pink Lillies in the background! Very good color for your viewers!! And they make your background more lively!xo
Drink water. When you feel like eating or snacking, drink water! Lots of it. And move around. Small portions, light dinner. Soups are excellent for dinner. Thankyou Frederique xxxx
Boy can I use this advice! Looking forward to the tips as I am going to be French soon as I am moving there in the next 8 months!
yeah! xx
You look truly amazing and fresh! thank you for another amazing video love x
Great advice , Frederique! Two sides of a coin... I was never over weight before I started a corporate job and spent much I my day at my desk. Yes, I made many l trips up and down stairs at work and at home. Did it help? No. My breakfast was minimal. My lunch was always at a restaurant. Dinner consisted of popcorn and a Coke, if I worked late. And, let's not forget a Snickers candy bar daily. When I became self employed, I went back to healthy eating; not much meat, two servings of fruit and three to five servings of vegetables, very little processed food. Dark chocolate is my usual daily sweet treat in the evening. Drinking enough water (not easy for me) has also made a big difference. My 'trick' is...Because I have given myself permission to eat whatever and whenever I want, I feel free, I make good choices and don't feel deprived. To cut the need for discipline, I bring very little junk food into by home. I exercise more and sleeping is a breeze. I do want to look great, but as years have gone by an even bigger motivator is health.
You are right eating always at the same time is very important too especially in the evening. My last meal is always at 6pm.
same x
@@ms.frederique By the way i love your earrings very pretty monstera plant hehe 😍
Drinking water is key for me. Also, I do intermittent fasting. I was never a great breakfast eater, so this works well for me. I struggle with stress and good sleep, but I’m working on it.
I also struggled with sleep since I was 3 years old . I’m almost 40 now . I know this sounds wild , but I told my mind “ you always sleep peacefully” and it started to work !
I’m sure you’ll figure something innovative out . You can do it
I stumbled upon your channel this week and I am loving your content and you! Your personality is so fun and engaging. I wish you didn't have to apologize or ask people not to get offended by your tips, they can take or leave them. No need to be offended by someone's opinions or experiences that worked for them.
All of your videos are a "must see" for me.
I am 53 and so diet tipps are very helpful for me.
🥰 from Vienna.
thank you so much - all my love to Vienna right now xx
Common sense really..healthy meals/ fresh food, smaller portions, walking, etc..but, unfortunately in the U.S., too many fall prey to fast and processed foods as well as a fast and processed lifestyle and too sedentary as well.
PS- Those lillies are pretty!
my favourite flowers x
Love the video. I've been on a long gradual road to loose weight myself. I eat healthy , my weakness is crisps with sparkling wine! Agh! Just two more pounds to go! The killer for me is the alcohol. So I've decided to buy less but buy better quality! I drink less because of this. Also, it is a real mental exercise for me to resist those habits I've acquired -when and why I have that little cocktail or glass of champagne. For me, learning those 'Triggers' I'm able to overcome and distract with other healthy choices. The reward is priceless! Healthy mind/ Healthy Body. I walk twice a day with my dog and able to swim at the beach is my mental outlet. I highly recommend getting outside with NO electronics, not even EarPods or music. Allowing yourself to be healed from within and listen without all the noise.
I’m in AZ. Hi to you and Oscar. I do a half day fast where I drink a lot of water until lunch, my main meal. Then I have a light meal in the evening.
I’m a natural nutritionist and in research I’ve done is there are over 49 different chemical names for sugar !!! Its amazing how the food industry has corrupted our way of thinking, thank you for this video. I’m the same age as with menopause a little weight was coming on so every once in a while I do intermittent fasting and eat home cooked meals, as said you know what goes into those, unlike processed stuff!
Wow thank you for sharing x
You are such a bright spot in my day! Thank you for your tips. This year has not been good for the waistline with the lockdown, or for skin with the mask mandates. You are a great inspiration. Like visiting a good friend. Thank you!
Hi Frédérique, just discovered your channel and I'm so delighted! You are so charming! I live in Belgium (Flemish region) and when in Paris, I was told that French women do not work out but they stay slim by multiple short functional walks (daily grocery shopping by foot, walk to work after public transport, walks to café, restaurant...) and that makes sense! And they take a coffee when they feel the need to snack 😂. Belgian women would rather park their car in front of shops, work etc in order to gain time because they work to hard and do not take enough care of themselves! Un très grand merci chère Frédérique et bonne continuation de votre chaîne YT!! Gros bisou de la Belgique!
thank you for watching lovely x
So much amazingly helpful content. I have violated almost all of the tenets! No wonder I am heavier than I should be. I am 73. I will start with one step at a time. No processed food for 30 days. I will cut my wine in half and replace with ice water and free squeezed lemon. I am excited to see what happens. ❤️ Suzy
Take care but still enjoy your wine xxx
I find the best thing when I want to lose weight is intermittent fasting - I stop eating around 5.40-6pm and don’t eat again until lunchtime the next day - if I go that and stick to 1200 calories it really works
Drinking water is a big part of my routine. I have noticed this in between meals snacking or munching on snacks can be brought down by half by drinking water.
true but snaking is truly not good 😀
I no longer use store bought dressings. For salad, avocado oil with rice vinegar. The olive oil taste is too strong for me. Love this!
perfect x
I do the exact same thing! I use a bit of Coleman's mustard too. This is my base recipe. Sometimes I change it up by adding some herb, or some grated orange rind. Love this recipe. Try the lemon infused avocado oil.....yum....
My heath tip:
Eat two breakfasts. Then eat one to two more meals throughout the day as needed depending on activities and how you feel. My theory is to get warm nourishing slow burning carbohydrates and low inflammation omega-6 fats into the intestinal tract. To give it energy and wake it up. Then as blood sugar is starting to rebound a second breakfast high in protein and fat but low in carbs is given to continue flow of energy.
7-8am-First Breakfast
Sauteed apples, pears, plums or berries in a lot of butter with cinnamon, clove, vanilla extract and add walnuts at the end just to warm them. Serve on top of cinnamon oatmeal that is drizzled with maple syrup and a pat of butter.
10-11am-Second Breakfast
Three egg omelet with sauteed mushroom medley, herbs and cheese with a side of fresh greens.
Or smoked salmon in place of mushrooms
I have a BS in Nutrition and Dietetics and study traditional healing methods. Much love😘
You are so correct Frederique. France is the best place for fresh foods. I live in the UK and we frequently travel to France every chance we get. There is no It’s your place to get fresh fruits and vegetables. The beautiful sun and beaches and my love for figure skating and it all adds up to a healthy diet and lifestyle.
when I want to take down some kg I eat cooked millet with yogurt and cranberries and banana :-) it works because if you eat millet you can not get any kg on ...believe me ,,,millet can not make you put on some weight and is very nutriious and nutty flavour..love from Croatia
thank you so much for sharing 💗
I guarantee you will lose weight if you eat millet 😊. LOVE 😘
Looking into intuitive eating has helped me a lot. I get stressed out by the thought of cutting out food groups and controlling my portions, which instantly makes me crave those foods "one more time" and has me starting to obsess over them. I have found a mindset of "eating a lot of what's good for you" and then still allowing myself to eat sweets if I still want them to be most beneficial. That way I never binge on sweets and have started craving healthy foods most of the time naturally.
Great video. May I recommend the French Cooking Academy channel for anyone who wants to cook French food. 😘
I’m watching this while on the treadmill!! Drink LOTS of water!! It really helps
good on you! x
I would love it if u do a video of your eating 🍽 plate, what you eat all day and the size of plat and food like meats, carbs if u have them! That will be helpful 😍✨🙏🏻
i already did a video about it :)
Love, love seeing Oscar! He brightens my day and makes me chuckle every time! Thank you for sharing him AND your sweet spirit.
Totally agree with alot of these reasons, especially agree with the 80/20 rule and minimising/eradicating snacking. I have been using Intermittent Fasting 16:8 for around 5 months, its a great way of keeping my calories in check having that 8 hr eating window. I still monitor my intake but it feels pretty effortless way for me to maintain a healthy weight. I eat 3 good sized meals a day and one small snack in my eating window.
As for 1200 calories, that is a nope!! alot of misconceptions about the magic number of 1200! only applies if you're very short and very old so it's a HUGE NO on that one! I'm petite, and over 50 but I am also pretty active (average around 14k steps a day and lift weights), I maintain on 1900 calories - if I wanted/needed to lose a few pounds I'd cut back to 1600 to lose 0.5lb approx per week. Eating very low calorie is a sure fire way to lose muscle which we do not want to happen.
Oh and carbs are not the enemy, I didn't do without them to lose weight, its just not necessary to cut out carbs....OK think I'm done now LOL
thank you so much for sharing 💗
I'm glad you mentioned that white crabs turn to sugar. I live with a diabetic and that's the first thing we learned. No white foods. There are so many great pastas now or make them yourself. Having had no junk or fast food during lockdown was the best thing ever. Now the thought of it makes me sick. Thank you for all your tips. They are spot on.
What a sweet comment, I'm glad you like it xx
It’s all in the quality of food and portion control.
💝👍
oui x
Love these tips to keep the weight off🥰 Completely off subject, but I am curious about French perfume, your favorites, the classics, and do you wear a scent everyday. I love the scent in Chanel, Dior, YSL makeup too! However, that is looked at as ‘not good’, but it’s fabulous to me💗
All good points...btw, your personality is awesome and you are SO fun to watch!!!
Hello Frédérique! This subject is always interesting. Weight is a traumatic word ... Jesus! Thank you for your tips! Have a lovely thursday! Until your next video!
merci Maris xxx love u
Lots of great tips! I think if you shift your thinking from depriving yourself of food and punishing yourself with exercise to nourishing yourself with delicious, healthy food and moving your body because you want good health, it is a much better motivation. I know I am also most likely to overreat or reach for something unhealthy if I am hungry, so making sure you have satisfying, healthy meals helps too.
21 day fix! I got on it over 2 years ago and I’ve kept 20 pounds off. The colored containers help me big time with portion control.
Loved this video. Many healthy and helpful diet tips! Keep them coming.
merci x
Bonjour, Frédérique, intermittent fasting is an extremely effective weight-loss method, and many people have adopted it as a permanent lifestyle regime. It's been shown to have substantial physical and cognitive benefits, as well. However, I realize it is anathema to the French way of eating!
Dear Frederique can you make a video about what are your favourite perfumes ? thanks Ines :-)
please check my channel home page there is a video about perfumes thanks
@@ms.frederique thank you !
The tip for maintaining the weight of fresh and unprocessed food is to eat until 7 in the evening, maximum sports ..... with us Jews, Rambam said .. in the morning you will eat like a king at noon like a prince and in the evening like a poor man !!! Rambam was a very wise doctor who talked about the health of body and mind and how important it is to maintain the body ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would also like a typical list on what a French family eat in a day and is it different at the weekends
Thank you fir a wonderful uplifting video
@@dianerebello1794 pleasure x
Click, click, click! Love your videos and can’t wait for the upcoming content. So natural, practical and funny, thank you xxx
yeah, sleeping well and drink more water helps me...
Asking myself if I am really hungry or just bored or tired..intermittent fasting, doing puzzles or giving myself a hand massage instead of snacking when stressed or tired or in front of the tv!
Merci for these great tips! I love intermittent fasting... I only eat/drink alcohol between noon and 8pm. It’s harder now since I am at home and not out working. It’s so much easier when I’m busy and the kitchen is not nearby! Also I drink only black coffee (with no flavor or cream or sweeteners). I love your channel!
Great advice!
thank you x
For weight loss: Intermittent fasting, quality protein and fats, eliminate simple carbs and startches, and lower carb veggies and fruits.
perfect xx
I really enjoy your positive upbeat contributions. Thank you!
Glad you enjoy it!
You make good points and advice.
............. I dont know how old you are but menopause makes you gain weight.
Without changing ANYTHING in your life hormonal changes mean you lose estrogen and your body wants to replace it so holds onto fat because it has an estrogen in it.
So at this time of life it is more important than ever to exercise and eat well.....
But there is always room for 1 biscuit but
the challenge is not demolishing the whole packet.
Another great content-video! I'm so glad you are providing the daily. I love listening and miss Paris so much. I'd like to see live videos, do you ever do those? You:d be great! Though I love how yours are edited. - Your fan 😁
yeah merci Pam xx
It's also amazing how much better you feel when you stay off the junk! If I cheat I start to feel crappy. Started also to have mostly lean protein and veggies for dinner and eat between 10 am and 6pm then done for the day!!! Love your channel , keep it up!
so true xx
Walking and yoga every day is the key for my weight control. Additionally, this year I started to eat a vegan and pescatarian diet. By having a protein, vegetable and fruit shake for lunch every day, I started to see great results. Then, I added seafood two times a week. I lost 25 pounds during the time many people were putting on their pandemic pounds. The best part is how good my gut feels.
GOOD ADVICE!!!!
THANKS!!!!
Just discovered your channel, I love it. One tip I have is never do your shopping for food when you are hungry, you'll just buy rubbish , crisps, biscuits etc !! Xx
Another uplifting video, thank you Frederique xx
Good advise but I would like to say take care now before get sick that is a motive to prevent everything
Hi, great tips 😀 If I have a dog I would have a French bulldog, but I have a british shorthair and Maine coon cats 😜 My tip is to jogging ca 10 km - 2-3 times a week, avoid meat, no sugar and unhealthy sweets. I lost 10 kg since May 2020 😀 and keep going 😀 Take cate ♥️ Aleksandra
My Tip 1. Make your own meals so you’re in control. My Tip 2. Only eat nutritious food you genuinely enjoy. Life’s too short to endure. Rx
You are fabulous!!! I love all your videos, especially the way you feature Oscar!! I laughed when you started to say 💩 but then you smiled and changed it to Bad!!! You are so like me!!!😂😉💗
Hugs to you Frédérique ❤️You always brighten my day ❤️
Hello Frédérique,
Your recommendations on weight loss are healthy and sound. Drinking lots of water is important too. Water is good for your brain, skin and organs. If you’re watching your calories, a big glass of water can help you feel fuller and you know your making your body happy and healthy.
Water is a must! so normal for me that I forgot to say it thank you x
Love your notebook! Just subscribed a couple of days ago. Such fun videos, great channel! When I want to lose weight I eat lots of plants with limited amount of grains, and use fatty foods like nuts and avocados as decorative elements rather than main ingredients. You covered everything else!
yeah thank you for joining me x
To control my proportion intake, I don’t keep goodies at home in the kitchen, only real food. Usually if it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind. If I badly want it, I go out and get it, but generally don’t keep goodies in the home.
My advice is to find healthy foods that you enjoy eating. If you don’t like cabbage, don’t eat it! There are so many natural and healthy foods. You will find something that you truly love to eat, and you won’t feel deprived. Also, if you want a treat, just buy a single serving. That way, you won’t be able to overindulge.
i love it x
@@ms.frederique Merci beaucoup!
Im definetly what I eat. after a wonderful trip to Paris and a lot of people watching( my favorite thing todo )French women certainly have it all happing in the best ways loving your channel and content. I keep telling myself its all common sense lol.
Thanks for sharing!
Sutter home's fre alcohol free wines (don't laugh) have only 25 calories a glass. There are many varieties, including brut. Patrick Bernhardt has excellent meditative music cds.
When you said fast food, that's definitely a big one to stay away from. I had some earlier today, BUT I ordered a happy meal from McDonald's instead of a regular size meal (I have fast food like 1-2 times a month). Satisfied my craving without the guilt and since I'm only 4'11" (149.86 cm), it's like the perfect size for me...at least that's what I'm telling myself since I used to eat the large ones! Made lunch for tomorrow: Quinoa bowl with black beans, sweet potato, chicken, and avocado :D so much better.
Also, my favorite weight loss tips are:
- Order smaller sizes of food or single serve items if you want a sweet treat. Yes, sugar isn't good for us, but getting a small macaroon ice cream sandwich is better than buying a pint of ice cream or cake unless you plan on sharing it with a friend. I can't have sweets in the house unless I make it myself or I binge.
- Intermittent fasting is wonderful for weight loss as long as you don't burn yourself out. Start slow and work your way up.
- Drink tea instead of "dessert coffees". I make a matcha latte with almond milk and a little stevia if I want to add some sweetness or drink it plain. If you want coffee, make it yourself or get healthier choices.
thank you for sharing x
Hi Frederique!..... New subscriber here! .....I laughed a lot at this video..... you are a great lady, witty and charming... this vlog reminded me to go back to losing weight..... been going around it for quite some time..... I'm currently doing the Japanese water therapy - drinking 2 glasses of room temp. water upon waking up and eating breakfast after 45mins..... I've done IF (intermittent fasting) before and was thinking about going back to it.....hoping to attend to that soon for my own better health and will try to follow your advice (take note "will try" hahaha) merci beaucoup!
Yeah welcome 🙏
There are some very good comments and tips in this video. Thanks a lot.
pleasure x
Hi Frederique! I appreciate your tips, you are enegetical and I have fun watching your videos, but Pinot Noir or good wine is important for our health. So we should not cut from wine on weekends, my lovelies -;) . Wish you lot of inspiration XXX
KETO and OMAD Combined, Mad fat loss no cravings. Tons of energy once fat adapted. Best thing I have ever done for myself is to educate myself on how the body stores and burns fat. Intermittent fasting is the fountain of youth. Knowledge is power
Thank you for Oscar-time...
pleasure x
I do intermitting fasting, I eat between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. I started 12 hr at first and now I'm here. Feel great. By the way, I love, love Oscar, his grunting and poofing (farting). Just found your channel, informative, and you are so funny. Just what we need in these challenging times. I will catch up and look forward to future videos. Obviously you are enjoying Australia.
You look very nice in that white shirt. I need to lose about 20-30 lbs to be skinny again and I really thought working from home was going to help because I have so much time to exercise. Ends up, I'm just lazy. I do eat a lot of fruit and don't make much unhealthy food but I definitely need to up my vegetable game and control my portion sizes more. I wish I had friends nearby so we could all eat together and SLOW DOWN and talk during dinner. Instead, my husband eats all food in about 3 seconds and even though it takes me longer, I still need to slow down much more.
don't give up and do it! xxx
Stress eating cookies as I watch this. Day after election day here in the US...
hahaha I'm stress for you too - we are all watching the US election!
Michele Wheldon Makes me proud to be an American again!!!!!
It’s a revelation 🙄
I recently lost 8 kg... intermittent fasting, and cutting out all sugar, and reducing carbs. It’s surprising how many “so called healthy foods” are loaded with sugar or carbs. Read the ingredients on packages ! I do not eat processed foods....or buy any foods that have additives or a long list of ingredients.
Cut out wine....totally, and was hard for the first week....but now do not even feel like it.
