About the book, courtesy of The Ridgefield Library: “The French Twist” explores the French attitudes of reverence and respect for food and dining. Based on a desire to take the American obsession with weight and fitness in a new direction, she exposes the shortcomings of quick-fix fad diets, and encourages readers to examine their unique connections to food. Among the secrets the book reveals are the importance of eating authentic and high-quality food, and the role of pleasure and balance in proper nutrition and successful weight management. Throughout, the French approach is validated by up-to-date science on metabolism as it relates to the psychology of eating.
