Eat Like the French
Although French cooking is notoriously rich, the obesity rate in France is considerably lower than here in the states. One reason is that the
French have a different relationship with food than Americans. For one, this culture knows how to savor its cuisine, and secondly, they eat smaller portions. So eat like the French and eat your smaller serving slowly — putting your fork down between bites helps.

it's true. I did a french style diet in high school, ate rich rich foods and small portions and enjoyed it, i lost weight real fast.
1I'm not sure if I agree with the "notoriously rich" statement - yes some dishes are heavy in butter and/or cream, but I've never had food as rich as what you get in the UK or the US when I lived in France!
