Well, after trip to Toulouse, so so glad to report that I managed to maintain no weight gain! I was surprised to see the French having espresso and a large croissant for b'fast, a light salad for lunch and an elaborate dinner with leg of duck or a cassoulet with bean and sausage or a nice steak fillet to end the day...served with choice of french fries or french beans which i thought was really cool!I did not see any obese French so went for it and looks like it worked! mind you, they walk alot and you see the elderly (over 70's) going about their business briskly walking or cycling! man, 6 degrees celsius and you see a smart 70+ lady in tights, smart quilted coat and hat cycling her way through, with handbag on side...wow...I admire that!Instantly loved their way of life and enjoyed vin chaude for 6pm with a pot of hummous and warm french crusty bread (not baguette), a glass of petite vin rouge with dinner, espresso throughout the day.....sweet mama, c'est la vie!
