What French Really EAT In a Day | Typical French Diet explained by a French Dietitian 

I like to have a piece of camembert with some blueberries for a snack. Keep up the good work and carry on spreading the message.🙋‍♂️

I'm an American who has lived outside the U.S. off and on since 1990, mostly Europe and Asia. I'm also a professional chef, trained at Le Cordon Bleu. A balanced diet of fresh ingredients combined with portion size is essential. It took a long time to stop thinking of meals in American portions and realize portions should be the size of your fist, or around 4 oz. or 1/2 cup (100g). As I get older, I find I eat less and prefer small bites (1 egg instead of 2, a cup of soup instead of a bowl).

Your videos are so inspiring to me. I am trying to make my meals resemble yours - simple, delicious, and healthy eating. Thank you for sharing!

Love this video ❤. So nice to see all the delicious food. Greetings from Norway ☕️✨

I usually eat my dinner from pasta bowls. Never big plates. And I have Little bowls for yogurt and fruit so i dont eat too much. Most of this diet is the diet I eat in US. But I am half french and funny is I always ate toast with jam and very little butter, and coffee for breakfast haha. These french genes are deep.

This is one of your best videos! Great advice!❤

Love your channel! Appreciating the tips for French eating and all the recipes and menu ideas!

I visited Paris for the first time in June and what I loved most was the food. Simple, clean, fresh and tasty. I am in England and have been cooking many dishes based on my visit. Your videos inspire me to keep cooking like this. Thank you.

I'm neither french nor over weight but I find these videos so well done. They help me balance out my food choices and keep things more uncomplicated. I was very happy to see bread and potatoes included, some of my favorites. Also the dark chocolate you showed, I bought the same exact brand-and 100% cocoa this very day.

I just found your channel and really enjoyed this video. Very inspiring, to be more considered in my approach. Thank you, your presentation is so engaging, I can’t wait to watch more. xx

Great video and you are spot on about simple meals, that use good quality ingredients and cooking from scratch. ❤

This was great! Everything looks delicious. The two fried eggs with salad 🥗 looks so fresh and inviting. So that’s a great way to have a dessert is to enjoy it on a one day instead of daily. That makes sense and is so simple. We Americans go in excess of everything! 😮 Thank you for sharing this! This is a nice guide to change for an individual 😊

I live in Cyprus, luckily the produce here is fresh and there's a lot of variety in vegetables and fruit, but the prices went so high you literally need a small fortune to buy seasnal fruit and veggies. Not to mention the price of meat, seafood, cheese and eggs! It's crazy

I really like your channel as I’m more interested in learning home cooking recipes of different countries. These recipes from everyday home cooks tell a lot about cultures and people. The only French cheese I tried was brie. I found them bit heavy for my stomach. I decided to give Camembert a try after seeing it featured in almost all your videos, and they are delicious. The only problem is I don’t see them in my local stores recently. I read from news bacterias used to make Camembert facing extinction a while ago. I truly hope that was not the case. Thanks for this informative video!

hi! from Turkey. I love your channel and your cooking, keep producing content 🤗🩷

Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo madame! Très bien!

I'm a Malaysian who whips up simple meals at home too...love your simple and nutrition conscious meals....amazed how you opted for chocs for dessert considering the mind - blowing French patisseries...😆🤤🤤🤤🤤

I see the endive and I am happy. My favorite salad vegetable, unfortunately very expensive in the US. I grew up in Germany, so trying to maintain a German style diet in the US is not always easy and certainly not cheap.

Excellent, félicitations ! Une synthèse complète, très clairement présentée et illustrée. Pour l'essentiel, cela ressemble beaucoup aux repas que nous prenions dans mon enfance, dans la maison de mes grands-parents grecs, rythmés par les saisons et les événements. Après près de trois décennies d’errances modernistes ”sauvages”, je reviens au mode de vie qu’ils pratiquaient. Grâce à eux, je préfère aussi écrire en français, pas en anglais - langue que j'utilise actuellement dans mes projets... Merci encore🙂Avec mes meilleurs vœux, une architecte de Bucarest.

Thank you for this video! I started a low carb high protein way of eating to help with acne and bloat. I have had a horrible relationship with food and learning how to be healthy.

Merci Beaucoup.

Loved it. Thank you. I’m trying to eat more veg and protein less carbs as I’m 60 otherwise weight creeps on. French diet looks great.

Used to wonder about my grandmother's best dinner-set (which my mother inherited) and how small plates for main course were. So true, plates are bigger now... blame the Americans?🙃

👍👍

I am an American, and my tip to eat healthfully is to shop the perimeter of the store, go into the center aisles and only buy what is on your list, and to chose packaged foods with the least number of ingredients. An example, chose Wasa or matzo crackers over triscuits. Choose triscuits over townhouse. Chose 100% whole wheat bread over white bread, same for pasta. Brown rice instead of white. For vegan items, chose almond milk over coconut or oat. Chose cashew cheese over daiya, and tofu/tempeh/seitan over pea-protein or soy isolate based mock meats. For all dairy products, vegan or not, choose unsweetened, no artificial sugar, and full fat if applicable. Unsweetened soy yogurt is the best nutritionally for vegans, but you have to make it yourself. Silk plain soy yogurt (has a little sugar) is better than most others. For the owner of thr channel, would love to know more about why the French choose white rice/pasta/bread instead of whole wheat, and what people who cannot have dairy eat instead in France. Say they have severe lactose intolerance or a milk allergy.

Great video 🔥 What do you think about using Normotim for dieting?

😊

Olive oil seems like from nice😊I bought once.

Pourriez-vous me recommander des blogs/livres avec des recettes de la cuisine française de tous les jours ? Ils peuvent être en français - j'ai commencé à apprendre cette belle langue. Désolé pour les erreurs 🫣

I am a 63 year old American. We share the same food choices. I have eaten this way all my life.

No snacks, no sweet beverages, not too much carbs, no added sugar. But I'm french. 😂😂😂

👍🥦

They eat what everybody eats ... Stop with this cliché already.

The pictures of shelve after shelve stuffed with ultra processed junk food quite obviously were taken in a French supermarket. Who eats all this unhealthy stuff, as the French say they never would?
