French Paradox article featured on GetFitSlowly.com

Have you ever wondered why it seems that the French can get away with eating everything we’re told not to eat, and still live 3 years longer on average, without exercising more than we do, taking 6 week vacations, and 2 hour lunches?

I’ve written a guest post this morning for the good guys over at GetFitSlowly.com. In an article yesterday, I mentioned their site briefly as one of my inspirations for Almost Fit, so it was really exciting when J.D. agreed to post one of my pieces.

If you have a few minutes, check the article out: Food, Drink, and Decadence: How the French Stay Thin.

Thanks guys!

It sounds so simple and so sensible. How did we get so far from it? I think it was the doctors and nutritionists who urged us to change our way of eating and now they're telling us what they said before was wrong - change back!
