In this video, I show you my mom's two full day of eating! These meals are vegetarian and she's an intuitive eater, so she likes to honor her cravings of the day and listen to her hunger signals. She eats the French way and has mostly healthy and balanced meals, but she also listens to her cravings and satisfies her emotional hunger.
Hope this insight into the plate of a French woman post-menopause was helpful, and helps you learn how to stay thin after 50!

Rather than an "almond mom", she seems like an "olive oil mum", health conscious but not interested in overly restricting or demonizing food. I like the approach of eating nutrient dense meals, but also making room for chocolate and biscuits to go with her coffee. I'm currently working towards that kind of balance and it's very inspiring. Thank you, Lucie (and mum)! xx

[@Edukalebylucie]

That's the way I see it too! Thank you!

[@sailstomars]

You nailed it with this comment!

[@coconutvanilla7746]

fully agree with this comment, couldn't have said it any better :)

[@soilgrasswaterair]

It’s a similar mindset to the Scandinavian approach to eating and food in general. I was raised in a Scandinavian home and we ate full fat dairy products, home made müsli/granola, olive oil, homemade whole wheat bread, whole grain pasta/rice. Soup and salads for lunch and coffee breaks twice a day with something sweet sometimes (but more a few squares of dark chocolate and never more than 4 squares). Fish twice a week, lean meat, poultry and venison for protein and lts of legumes and vegan/vegetarian Us kids would only be allowed to have candy once a week on Saturdays. The thought is to be full and stay full on homemade meals with no empty calories. No diet products! No skipping meals ever to keep it even and also being taught early on that you eat for fuel and not mainly for taste. Bread is never removed, but it’s rye bread or whole wheat/grain and often with seeds and nuts in it. Fresh fruit and never dried fruit. Processed foods is a no in most Scandinavian homes.

Don’t know about anyone else but must have watched this little video so many times. Every time I need a bit of a reminder of what proper healthy balanced eating looks like, I gravitate towards it. Just love it. This to me is the picture of health, balance, common sense and just sheer enjoyment of good food!

[@GeraldineKoh]

I had to replay n google this… The study found that chopping broccoli into small pieces before cooking it helped maintain its levels of sulforaphane, a phytochemical shown to protect you from cancer. Why? Chopping, thus creating more surface area, allows air to activate an enzyme that promotes the production of sulforaphane.

[@pennPi]

Such a good point to listen to your body. I was programmed to always eat breakfast growing up, to the point of forcing myself when I had no appetite. These days I’m trying to break that habit especially when there are studies about the positive effects of intermittent fasting. My natural response is to eat 16 hours from my last meal the night before, but sometimes it is sooner if I didn’t eat enough or exercised.

Funny how reasonable eating has become so rare. Seems like a nature video, French woman in her natural habitat! Bravo en tout cas🎉

[@rosaliep2860]

Love how slowly she cuts vegetables. Maybe it was for the video but I’m French too and I always take my time to cut and cook, which makes my own mother, who is German, quite crazy 😂 I grew up in France and I obviously picked up on this very slow life concept, I love watching it now, it’s very relaxing !

I really enjoyed this video. Your mother is beautiful and what a great figure you both have. I love how simple and homey this video is. I was wondering if you both have always been vegetarian? My husband's parents are vegetarian. His dad is 90 and his mother is 83. Have a blessed day!

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you so much! I've been fully vegetarian for about 7 years, I was pescatarian for about 3 years before that! And she's been pescatarian for about 10 years I'd say

Hey Lucie, thank you for the videos and the effort you take to make them. I truly enjoy them. In one of the videos with your mum, she mentions she picks her vegetarian recipes for the week from some cookbooks. Would she mind sharing the names of some of these books?

Beautiful periwinkle blue jumper! Where did you get that? Can I purchase one still or is it an old season’s item?

[@xassy]

Salut Lucie, Great video! I love these types of videos, and it's wonderful to see your mom supporting your channel. I have a few questions, if you don't mind. Firstly, I'm curious about how many calories a day she consumes (approximately). The portion sizes seem small, but as a good French lady, it seems she doesn't shy away from incorporating fats into her diet. Additionally, I'm wondering if she gets enough protein and calcium. As you here currently there is an emphasis on protein intake. Another question I have is whether she indulges in pastries, cakes, or wine during the week, or if these are reserved for special occasions. Lastly, I'm curious about her water intake throughout the day. Thank you!

[@Edukalebylucie]

So glad you liked the video! She doesn't count her calories and it also varies throughout the week, she does have some wine on the weekend or for special occasions, as well as pastries etc. She drinks a lot of water, it's her main beverage, and yes I think she gets enough protein and calcium :) Thanks for watching!

[@deborahgodley6980]

So healthy yet hearty and balanced and tasty.Fruits for desserts,little snacks in small quantities,veggies proteins,plenty of salads and veggies.This type of eating is why French women are rarely fat.

Congratulations on the second home! Did your mom retire from teaching? I have been teaching for 27 years and will retire (God willing) soon! I'm looking into possible relocation...south of France! Still checking out locations. Love your beautiful mom's way of eating. I'm 57 and struggling with keeping the weight in check. I tend to snack too much. I will follow along for these two days. Question about the rice: Brown takes much longer to cook...so how to cook them together? Great idea, btw! Keep the WIEIAD with mom...or just you...coming!

[@dawnwalus6587]

Yes the snacking is a hard one but you have to stop and let your body get hungry! I had to stop doing this too 3 meals no snacking a little piece of chocolate or fruit only one piece small!

[@CynthiaAva]

Thank you so much. It's so difficult. I need to get the constant snacking under control. Thank you for the encouragement!

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you! She still has 2-3 years to go and then she'll move there full time. And yesss south of france is so great for retirement!! For the snacking I would try increasing your meal portions and giving yourself one or two set times to snack to stop snacking all the time! ☺

[@marialively9673]

Hello! About the rice... My guess is that if it's instant rice, they are all made to cook in minutes, so there shouldn't be any time difference between brown and white rice to be ready. Have a good day!

[@asztaloseva2716]

According to this, it's just a legend that French women don't snack. By the way, in your opinion, what's the difference between dessert and a snack? Is it just the consumption time? What type of cookies does your mom have with coffee?

[@Anamaria2301]

Do marriages last better in France than in many other countries?.. or how do french women have time for all the beauty work, taking care of themselves, cooking fresh food everyday etc? Or do many of them have an extremely good, well-paying work place where they can do short workdays? Certainly I don't mean to offend, I admire and envy this life style!

[@cwednesday]

I think that our divorce rate is only a little better than in the US. We don't spend as much time grooming as women in the States, in my opinion (I've lived in both places). We do less makeup, less nails, less hair, etc. Our work days are long, but we have more vacation time and better boundaries with set lunch hours for example.

[@nerddom-square]

These videos are wonderful because Americans have forgotten how to eat real food. Everything is about being fast, convenient, and mostly unhealthy and full of saturated fats. So, from an American looking for better ideas, thank you!

[@SeaTurtle515]

Not all Americans. I and all my adult children and many, many of my friends, eat like this. We all enjoy clean, real, mostly organic food and we love to cook and eat together. Maybe it’s my italian heritage, but good food is very important to us.

[@nerddom-square]

@@SeaTurtle515 That's great. I was speaking more towards the general population. Around 42% of American adults are obese.

[@SeaTurtle515]

@@nerddom-square Yes, I agree. There is a movement in some parts of the country for getting back to eating whole, non processed foods and sitting at a table enjoying it with others. But true, America overall eats very poorly. My cousin moved to Italy a few years back, where our grandparents are from and she absolutely loves the whole eating experience there. I would love to visit southern France some day.
