French people eat bread, cheese, wine, and pastries.

Despite this, they have one of the lowest obesity rates in the Western world.

Here are 9 reasons why French people are staying slim while everyone else is getting fat: Image
1. Cultural portion control

In France, “small” is normal.

Coffee cups are tiny, sandwiches aren’t a footlong, and meals aren’t supersized.

Smaller portions mean fewer calories without feeling deprived. Image
2. Structured meal times

The French eat 3 proper meals a day:

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Snacking is rare and discouraged.

Eating at this rhythm stabilizes appetite and prevents constant grazing. Image

I'm 45.

But I look and feel 35.

Here are 5 foods I’m eating to look younger and feel like I’m 10 years younger: Image
Food #1 - Collagen Boosters

Eggs, grapefruit, pumpkin seeds, and bone broth.

Collagen is “Nature’s Botox.” It keeps skin firm, joints flexible, and bones strong.

After 30, your body makes less. These foods help bring the bounce back.
Food #2 - Antioxidant Powerhouses

Swiss chard, pomegranates, blueberries, grapes.

Free radicals are like tiny burglars that damage your cells.

Antioxidants act like security guards—protecting skin, preventing wrinkles, and slowing aging.

Most people obsess over weight.

But the real predictors of disease, aging, and early death are hidden in your blood.

Here are 8 lab tests that predict your future better than your waistline: 👇
Test #1 – Complete Blood Count (CBC)

Measures: red/white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin.

It uncovers anemia, infection, immune status & even cancer risk.

Think of it as checking the fluids in your car. If it's too high or too low, the system breaks down.
Test #2 – Hemoglobin A1C

Your 2–3 month blood sugar report card.

High A1C = higher odds of diabetes, heart issues, kidney failure.

This test shows how your metabolism has been performing for months, not just today.

Visceral fat is the most dangerous type of fat.

If you want to remove it, it's not enough to count calories and lose weight. You must eat the right foods.

Scientists just discovered a diet that burns up to 2–3x more visceral fat than traditional diets.

Here’s how 👇 Image
Visceral fat = the fat around your organs.

It’s metabolically active and releases inflammatory cytokines that:

· Damage your heart
· Raise diabetes risk
· Accelerate Alzheimer’s & certain types of cancer

It can also shrink areas of the brain responsible for memory & mood. Image
The worst part?

You can drop pounds on the scale and still have the same amount of visceral fat choking your organs.

That’s why food quality matters more than food quantity.

The easiest way to burn more fat at the gym:

Add a 10-minute walk after weights.

Here's why 👇
Lifting Stimulates Fat Burning Hormones

After a lift, you trigger the release of hormones like:

1. Growth hormone
2. Catecholamines
3. Glucagon

These hormones mobilize fat from storage and increase its availability in your bloodstream to be used as fuel.
Walking After Strength Training

Walking at a conversational pace (aka. zone 2) primarily uses fat as its fuel source, especially if insulin is low after lifting.

Taking a walk right after strength training lets the body oxidize the mobilized fat, potentially boosting fat loss.

Workout cheat codes I know at 45 that I wish I knew at 25:

1. Take 5 grams of creatine for the muscles. Take 10-20 grams of creatine for the brain.
2. For a great workout, mix a bottle of beetroot juice with half a teaspoon of baking soda. Beetroot boosts nitric oxide for endurance; baking soda buffers acid, delaying fatigue for workouts.

3. When working out use swear words to enhance your ability to lift heavier.
4. Between your sets, go for a walk to improve recovery and increase step count.

5. If you're stuck for time, you can cut your workout time in half while still getting the same gains by incorporating supersets for non-competing exercises.
