French Diet - Weight Factors

The French diet tends to be rich in calories, rich in fat in comparison to other European countries. BUT, not in all areas of France. For example, a Mediterranean based diet is embraced in many regions of the country.

The Mediterranean diet tends to be light and contains mostly fish and vegetables harvested from the area. Other regions of France employ a high protein diet.

Some of the foods prominent in the French diet include: cheese, sausages, delicate pastries, wine, breads, and strong coffees.

Cheese is often enjoyed as a dessert.

Although red wine was once touted as a deterrent for heart attacks, a new direction supports that a diet low in fat and cholesterol in certain areas of the country best control heart disease.

Moderate consumption of wine may be beneficial to health so when the two are combined, the health rewards may be great.
