In my trip to Australia, weekday evenings are quite a lull because my cousin and I usually stay in to avoid the cold outside. So my cousin gave me some books for me to read. Out of all the books she gave to me, I got enthralled with this gem of a book. I have heard rave of this book last year from a chick mag. And I totally agree! Its a keeper! If your the one who is in search for a good diet book, I would suggest this one. Mireille Guilano is a great storyteller. She didn’t provide the reader a boring lecture-type solutions to losing weight. She gives you a charming narrative of how she gained weight after adopting some Western mentality in eating ( like Filipinos, too) when she was an exchange student in the United States in her teenage years and later, back in her native country, with the help of Dr. Miracle rediscovered the art of being a French women, that loses easily & maintains a fabulous figure with a certain air of class. She gave women the basic love-yourself weight loss technique by lose the rigid diet craze, simply eat in moderation, enhance the eating experience by using good, in-season ingredients & enjoy every chewing sensation, do a lot of moving & walking and loving yourself. She also gave out a lot of recipes she uses. For simplification, she also gave a bullet form presentation at the end of the book to summarize the points she made. Grab a book now, you’ll be a French woman (*interpretation: classy, sexy, charming) in no time….

I have converted most of my coworkers into French women in no time after lending my book, hehehe…
