What a wonderful video. I had a real lightbulb moment when I first read 'Lessons from Madame Chic'. Reading your book really helped me take control of my eating and in particular, my snacking and 3 years on it's still helping me maintain a healthy approach to food, so thank you.
I was overweight before the baby😕 but I drew a line in the sand 3 years ago.. started eating mindfully now I am down 53 lbs! ( and the baby is 8!)
That's wonderful!
Antonia Smith Great for you! I’m happy for you!☺️👏🏾✊🏾
I see a lot of mindless snacking in the workplace. People sitting at computers constantly munching. So not chic. Your advice is excellent! Changing this one bad habit will definitely help one lose weight, and work colleagues will appreciate it too. lol
Your hair looks great and you always looks so pretty! It makes me want to fix myself up a bit. Thank you!
Go for it. New year new schedule
WoW you just get better and better as time goes by. Please do keep up the good work. I have learnt so much from you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.xx
i have all of your books but lessons from Madame Chic is my all time favorite..i'm glad to see videos covering topics from the book :)
I am so glad that you clarified what you meant by snacking as mindful snacking is an important part of any weight loss routine Mindful snacking helps to maintain a steady blood sugar level that helps to prevent over eating It is also important to differentiate between a snack and a meal. Generally, a snack is no more than a handful in size.
My mother, who had 6 children, told me when I was first pregnant, that babies weighed about 7.5 lbs and so did the afterbirth, so I should try not to gain more than 15 lbs. I did, more or less, for 4 children, and I didn't have to lose a lot of baby weight. Of course, there was a little hitch in that two of mine weighed over 9 pounds so I could have been a bit more generous, but what the heck, I saved myself a lot of effort. Lol.
Love this I am a snicker, and sometimes do it because I'm bored. But I want to get away from this mindless snacking. Thanks for sharing and covering this topic, that is so important.
I loved this and absolutely cannot wait to hear you discuss the next parts. Thank you so much for doing this. Lots of love, Melissa
Thank you, Melissa!
Thank you, Melissa!
I really needed this video! I try to think about not snacking mindlessly, but like you I love a snack here and there, but I will again strive to be more conscious about what I'm eating and when.
You mean pouring the crumbs from the bottom of the chip bag directly into one's mouth is not the French way? lol
liz1060 😁😁😁
I ❤ your hair in this video. You look so pretty!!😍
Jennifer, do you have a hair tutorial for your every day look? I love the way you style it!
Stephanie Smith me too.
I love this and really need it! I've read all of your books at least twice and will read them again. I love your writing style and I hope you are considering doing another one. I don't know how you'll fit it in with three children (one, a baby!), but I can still hope!!
Thank you, Susan!
Said something very important, do not rush. We can NOT loose in 1 month what we took years to gain.
Thanks so much for doing this series! I remember this from the book, but need to get back on track before the holidays.
I can't remember where I read it but the French 'pay attention' to the food they eat which is what you are also alluding to, if you eat something, to be aware of it. Thank you Jennifer, good reminder and you look fantastic x
I like that! We are being rude to our food if we don't pay attention to it :)
my mother is 90 yrs old and in pretty good health... she said the differences she noticed over her lifetime time (in the American way of eating) is the increase in processed food, liquid oils and snacking. She said growing up in Virginia , on a farm, if they got hungry between meals they would eat an apple or a tomato. Everyday in sizeable quantities they (where not fat by the way)... they ate lard and cream...... they didn't eat much meat except after hog-killing time when they'd have bacon and ham and sausage. Mostly they ate veggies, starch in the form of oatmeal, bread and potatoes , full fat dairy, cheese and eggs . The only fish they ate was some fish they caught (on occasion) in the pond and canned salmon. Chicken and turkey were very rare. Beef was never eaten. Her first hamburger was when she was in her twenties when she moved to Wash D.C. Again, they mostly ate at mealtime. Snacking was limited to healthy foods.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing this.
I like this topic! I had my baby a year ago and am about 3 pounds over my prepregnancy weight but I am happy with it because I know from prior experience that I will drop another 5 pounds or so when I stop breastfeeding. I like the healthy, more casual approach to weight loss. I don't think one needs to kill themselves in a gym daily. A balanced and thoughtful approach seems better to me. life is all about balance after all and especially with children! By the way, you look beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the advice. I am looking forward to watching the other parts, too. Greetings.
[I literally had to finish a handful (or 2) of Doritos before typing this!] In one of your last videos you asked for some of our favorite things. I recently found Dr. Eric Berg on RUclips, and he is full of fantastic nutritional info. He is big on NO snacking, and has some great recipes I think you'd like. When we eat all day long, our insulin levels stay high, and when insulin levels are up, there is no fat burning going on. I'm looking forward to the rest of this series. Thank you! {And the baby spit up part was so real! I hope he is growing well and still being doted on mercilessly!}
He is totally being doted on mercilessly :)
Good reminder. Thank you and I look forward to the other two videos.
I have your books. Went back to read the first one. So inspirational
Thank you so much!
In general, I feel that if a person is eating a proper meal with a decent variety in their meal and in particular, I find that if I have something that is sweet and also not extremely unhealthy, I find that I don't feel like snacking at all. So lunch is always a full proper meal and I might have cheese after and it's always followed by fruit or natural yoghurt ( or both) with honey or jam. Eating like this keeps me full until dinnertime.
I'm so guilty of this...especially today. I'm also one of those "I worked out, so I can have this" kind of people. lol
Thank you Jennifer for this series. I'm looking forward to the next two!
Vous regardez si belle!!!
Just wondering what you thought of the book "French Women Don't Get Fat" by Mireille Guiliano ? I thought her comments were very helpful. I loved the idea of having a little bag of nuts, or a snack at hand just so you don't wolf down something horrible but this wasn't supporting mindless or endless snacking.
Oh my gosh, loved this video. I was just sitting here giggling along with you, thinking, thats so me, put the bag down, step away from the chips!
Haha!
Jennifer, do you and Madame still keep in touch on a regular basis? Is she aware of your videos and does she ever comment on them?
I've also wondered this, Linda!!!
I've been wanting to ask the same question myself
Linda Wilson yes! I would love to know too! 😉
Me too
She said she has tried to contact madame Chic but she hasn't responded
I really enjoyed this video! Can't wait for the future videos. :)
I have a hard time not snacking because I eat smaller portions for my main meals. I find if I eat a bigger meal I feel bloated and uncomfortable. However the amount I eat doesn't sustain me until my next meal.
Cheri Lyn Try increasing your fats in your main meals to keep you satiated. Avocados, olives, healthy oils, animal fats from healthy animals. It took me a while to find me set point of how much fat per meal I needed to hold me to the next meal.
Jennifer, first and foremost you look great. i wish i had found your channel 3 yrs ago after i gave birth to my daughter. i have learned a lot from you esp. capsule wardrobe. which by the way, i have adapted this season for my 4 year old.
i do have a question.......
could you do a video on raising children the parisian way. a friend of mine told me that apparently french (parisian ) moms are on a whole other level when it comes to raisng their children. chic, calm yet strict........ what are your thoughts?
hugs
newzealand703 the book “bringing up Bebe” goes into this in quite a humorous way
That's absolutely true, since I just learned that our body will not digest fat until 2 hours after meal.
Jen they have a espresso mid-afternoon or mid-morning? or a tea?They love their espresso coffee.
I love your hair in this video. Very pretty.
A little tip: when you get home from the shops- put your food (cookies, chips and chocolat) in a nice jar! And leave the jar in the kitchen.
Yes that's my problem! Right now ! I eat just too eat mindless snacking makes me so sad ! I need to stop my children are 4 a girl her name is Madeline and my boy Milan is only 1!so I keep busy taking care of them . I can't relate too this so much! Today I ate chocolate so many granola bars and cookies it was all mindless do don't even want them now my stomach hurts
mindless snacking....I am sooo guilty of that. Especially as a stay-at-home mom I have to walk past the kitchen a billion times and I use the food as comfort, or a reward or just to keep myself going. I still have baby weight to lose and my baby is almost 2!!! No more mindless snacking!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations on your baby! Too bad you had not been able to spend time with French mothers of young children. Do women start snacking and gain weight when they have children ? I am here because ten years ago I adopted a program from a book called The No S Diet, subtitle "no sweets, snacks, or seconds, except on days that start with S." I run a little group of women using it on a weight loss site. I am trying to convince them that they really do not need snacks, even mindful ones. I've done without them for a good 90+% of the time, though I didn't have kids! I'm a little disappointed that you say you do snack. I was hoping to have support I could bolster them with! I have often allowed myself a cafe au lait or mocha in the afternoon, though I know the French would never have milk in their coffee after breakfast, but it felt chic to sip rather than chew. I found that if I chewed something, I could be led to other things to chew, but if I drank something, I was done. I used inspiration from reading Chic and Slim and other descriptions of French eating, as well as other cultures. I read your book a few years ago, and enjoyed it. I fear America's snacking habits are getting worse, especially during COVID19 restrictions. So glad I already had the meal focus. Thank you for posting.
Hi Jennifer, you look great.
Thank you so much!
I'm eating a snack while watching this video...whoops! Lol, at least it's not mindless.
Jennifer you look gorgeous, and you HAVE lost weight already! You look great!
Thank you so much!
I had hip surgery and I exercise so much that I have lost over 20 pounds.
And how french mothers keep their weight? Madame chic has 5 children, how did she do it?
You know what isn’t elegant? The word “snack”
Did you lose weight during living in that family ?
I thought the baby spit was a smudge on my screen
Sadly, women, one year after the baby is born, still look pregnant! :(
What does this have to do with weight loss? It’s all about your personal life. Waste of time.
