They looked at me with a sad look, as if I really wanted to stay in the Stone Age. I did not understand the point of buying tomato soup for example, it is as easy to do as opening a can after all. Then, one day I understood that we had a very different relationship with food. I always saw them pouring food into their stomachs, all day long, meals then snacks and then a Rennie on top of all that. And in the best case scenario, hours of jogging to fight against the calories. It seemed crazy to me.

Artificial sugars/sugar substitutes (édulcorants) are appearing in many French dairy products and that includes the nauseating taste of aspartame. I can't add links here but if you google Quel est le taux d'obésité en France ? you can find statistics 17.5 of women and 16.7% for men are considered obese. Ameli add .fr is the national health system site and explains how obesity is calculated. During the Covid lockdown I think people also added a few extra kilos from boredom eating and being indoors so much. The summer after Covid ended, I took a holiday at the beach and for the first time I saw 'chunky' French people. Not very overweight, but definitely not slim.

I have lived in France for 25 years and in the time I’ve been living here (in Brittany) we have seen all the supermarkets moving from absolutely NO PROCESSED FOOD to follow the American/UK lead of 9 out of 10 aisles being jammed with pre-prepared, processed junk food. 25 years ago the average French person was slim and enviably tanned most of the year, and dressed smartly. As the junk food took over, and fast food outlets as well as junk laden supermarkets proliferated, the French not only expanded size-wise but also lost their desire to look decent in public. Come to Brittany Mr Dhand and see what you think. Maybe most of the people you saw in Paris were actually Eastern Europeans living in Paris, who so far haven’t sunk into the pit most people are now living in over here.

Very encouraging to listen to your video's mainly because I fall off the 'wagon' so to speak, and buy store bread sometimes, and sometimes a package of balogna or garlic sausage (which I will OD on) and then go back to normal food. At 77, I still make my own bread (usually has a bit of dark rye flour and a bit of oatmeal) with my own take on salt and sugar. I like my bread to be somewhat salty, not sweet. Otherwise, I have finally got my seniors appetite and have cut down portions quite a bit. I grow my own tomatoes, lettuce, onions, green beans, peppers, and this year a small plot of chard. I also process wood for my stove which is my only heat for winter (remote Canadian Rockies here).

Well, I'm surprised by this video. I have lived in France for roughly 30 years and the change in food quality is in evidence everywhere, from bread, to cheese to croissants. I used to notice that while visiting, I, too, would eat more and lose weight. I must say it's no longer the case. French people were always well-presented and trim with only a few who were 'overweight '. Not the case any more, especially in the younger generations. I'm not disputing what you say at all, but it makes me realise that I obviously have no idea about how 'bad' things are now in usa and uk. The French have a lovely word for what we should all be saying now, 'NON' (and being a palindrome, it's got an extra 'punch').

As a French person, I must unfortunately admit that you're not wrong. The majority of French people remain relatively slim, but this proportion is indeed decreasing with each generation due to changing eating habits, such as industrial food sold in supermarkets, the widespread presence of fast food for decades, the rapid growth of kebab shops, pre-packaged products loaded with sugar, and so on. It's a clash of two worlds: the one described above and the relatively healthy French culinary tradition, which is nourishing yet fairly balanced.

Similar experience as an American living in Sicily for a little over 2 years. Enjoyed eating out more than at any time period in my life and losing 15 lbs without extra effort. I honestly believe the satiety center in the brain gets more honest signals on a natural diet than with the processed sugar laden garbage in the US. The Italians also never get in a hurry eating supper. They also have wine with supper like the French. I believe the so-called " French miracle" (moderate wine consumption offsetting the "evils" of a high fat diet) reported by 60 minutes would not face real scientific scrutiny. The American food pyramid was a sham from the beginning. Consuming 80% carbohydrates American style is what keeps doctor's offices busy.

We decided to revert to our childhood habit of having the main meal at midday, and a light evening meal, and without even trying, I lost over 20 lb within a few months...and not before time!

On just the bread issue. I"m over 70. Back when I was in school there was something called "day old bakeries". The bread companies would deliver bread to the groceries each day. The next day they'd pick up what wasn't sold and put fresh loaves out. The bread removed from the stores was sold at those day old bakeries. Check the dates on bread in the stores now. There are often sell by dates over a week in the future. Wonder why today's bread lasts so much longer? As far as me and Europe, I was there for about 3 months in the summer of 82. I did lose weight even though I pigged out on food and partook in way too much beer and wine. Of course traveling across the continent and back on a bicycle had nothing to do with it.😂😂

You’re so on point, Doc. Each time I travel outside of the US I end up losing weight without even trying to because the food is so different elsewhere. I spent 6 weeks in West Africa visiting the countries on the coast. At the end of my stay I came back to the US and my pants were falling. More recently after a tour in Southeast Asia I came back to the US with the same result. And yet, when I was presented with a plate of sticky rice upon my arrival in Thailand I politely said I keep rice away from my mouth. And to the question "Why don’t you eat rice?", I answered "I don’t want to gain weight from eating so much starch." The people I was staying with just smiled and said "You won’t put on weight." I was served rice at least 4 times a week in Thailand, in Laos, in Taiwan. Then to my amazement I had to find me a belt to prevent my pants from falling off!!! How do you explain this? Even here in the US I watch my diet and don’t allow any garbage to go into my mouth! And yet, it is hard to shed pounds unless I go on a long fast and workout like crazy! What’s the problem with our food here in the United States??? I eat no bread nor pizza here in the US. But whenever I travel to Europe I eat bread and pizza without any problem.

Good Evening Dr. Dhand! It has been a considerable amount of time since I posted on your channel. Your mind and body is in impeccable shape. In general, I completely agree with your assessment of French Men & Women. Our "Indian Culture" is a recipe for disaster. Lack of exercise, coupled with a rich," LDL Cholesterol Diet" has ensured our men and women will be overweight. However, I found another factor. The rate of absorption in the molecular foundation is governed by an "elastic" variance. The French consume a great deal of red wine. Scientists confirmed the "Micronutrient Resveratrol" transforms "white fat into "beige fat" ensuring it is easier to burn off. The rate of absorption is much higher with the French. Their fathers drank red wine. Their Grandfathers drank red wine. Their Great, Great Grandfathers drank red wine and so on. Consequently, the cellular fragmentation will re distribute at a greater "depth". Whence, it is woven into their DNA. This is why it is easier for them to stay slim. Sensational Video Dr. Dhand! We are grateful there are still channels on "You Tube" which provide meaningful insight. Yours is certainly one of them.

It's not true French would probably be healthier with less alcohol. Actually over the years French have been drinking less and that shows on some diseases as well as car crash . Saying wine is good because of... is like saying Coca cola is good because it contains water although the high amount of sugar will destroy any benefits just like alcohol and sugar in wine destroy all other potential benefits that you can already find in many fruits by the way. Drs here are tired of this fake narrative sold by the wine lobbies years ago. They are also the ones who sold that study "a glass of wine a day is good" although it has been debunked so many times. Many French and Europeans gain weight when they move to the US It's well known here in Europe that you must not adapt your diet to an American one while living in the US otherwise you'll get fat because we saw it happening. And in France there are also people who eat crap and they are fat. I am French and Black so clearly my origins are not in Europe and Black people in France are also much thinner than Black or White people in America. What helps France is our love for real food, quality food, good food with real taste and not enginered taste. Even people who don't like cooking will still enjoy quality of food. Even our processed food is much more controlledthan the US. The amount of sugar is lower because French do not like cakes with a high sugar level. In fast food Mc Donald wanted to make the Soda unlimited like in the US but France forbid that and of course many additives used in the US are forbidden in Europe also Genetically modified food are absolutely forbidden in France. And these are only a few examples And that love for food is part of our lifestyle from school, to the long lunch break at work, to the sitting at the table with the kids at dinner to sharing recipes to giving each other the name of the best restaurants. Also sugar is part of the French diet, but not all the time not everyday not at any time and not in high amount.... We are conscious that sugar is not good so we don't consider it like any other everyday food and snacking is not really part of the culture. A good nutritious meal does not make you want to snack. France is not perfect and like every country when it comes to food things are getting worse and the population is getting less thin but you can't compare the situation to the US who is on a different level. I have lived in both countries. How did I survive in the US? I kept my French diet as much as I could and thankfully for me.I am a great cook so I was able to adapt without gaining weight.

I think a lot of it is not just down to food quality but the type of diet in general. Here in Spain there is not that much in the way of convenience foods, the cereal isle is small and families take time to eat together (which is known to slow down eating). They must go to the fast food chains, as they exist here but I think maybe it is an occasional visit, rather than every day or so. We do get much nicer fruit and veg quite often, and it does tend to be seasonal, and local where it can be. Meals are a serious business, not gulped down at a desk at work and snacking is less. Portion control also has a lot to do with it. However, I have noticed that the elderly are often rotund (the Spanish are generally short in older generations) and levels of diabetes are high because they do have a very sweet tooth.

Meanwhile, in the US, we are bombarded with ads suggesting we eat breakfast cereals for dinner as well! Due to the inflation! No thank you, Mr. Kelogg!

Americans are always raving on about how slim ppl are in France, as though it’s the only place in Europe where ppl are slimmer and healthier. Have you been to Portugal? Spain? Greece? Turkey? Ppl are a lot slimmer and healthier in those countries, even the older ppl look so much better. I think it’s because we cook everything from scratch, rarely eat take aways. We do go out to dinner at restaurants, we love socialising and we do drink alcohol, but with food, not like in the UK where ppl get drunk senseless on an empty stomach- as a rule when they go out.

My nephews live in France. I KNOW WHY. The school food daily consists of vegetable-soups . When they graduate high school, they are so underweight, and have so healthy food habits, they never put on weight.

Excellent video. My wife, also in medicine, often says we should eat food as close to the way God made it as possible. Processed foods may taste acceptable, but are threats to our health.

It seems to me that much of the “food” in the states is coated with something that is intended to stop bacteria, but it also stops digestion and assimilation. Ramen noodles for example.

A good book to read is The End of Craving by Mark Schatzker. He looks into why the Italians, for instance, eat so much better than people in the UK and US and yet they are so much slimmer and healthier and he puts it down largely to the fortification of flour in these countries. Places like France and Italy don't allow the 'fortification' or 'enrichment' of their flour, yet in the UK - I can only speak for the UK, being British - it's becoming increasingly difficult to find any breads or cereals that don't have anything added, such as Niacin, Thiamin, etc. etc. Schatzker makes a good point that what we are unknowingly eating is basically pig food - they put these added (man-made) vitamins into the food they feed to pigs to fatten them up and it seems to be having the same effect on us. Even organic breads have these added ingredients. I strongly believe that all the people that complain about indigestion after eating bread and gluten intolerant people are really intolerant to the extras that are added.....and, did you know that it is illegal for a manufacturer to sell white flour (in particular) in the UK (and probably in the US) without this 'enrichment'? Yet another example of so-called scientists thinking they know better and stupid governments going with 'the science'. Just think about all the foods we eat that contain flour. Oh and another toxic substance that seems to be added to most processed foods these days is oil. Products with rapeseed oil in, in particular, should carry a government health warning.

no GMO, strict legislation on agriculture practices, but mostly pride and personal expectation in producing, preparing, and offering the best possible foods are in the French soul. A couple thousands years of meeting artisanal levels of excellence in every professional activity from stone work, carpentry, lace making and stain-glass blowing to raising the healthiest animals and produce are part of French tradition. Pouring one's soul - and reputation - into a finished product that reflect one's very best is engrained from young. Middle-Ages "Societies" that created the Masters who built cathedrals and castles (or Brie cheese!) a millenia or two ago, still exist today, just as the one that names my grandfather Master Carpenter more than a century ago.

I live in France and there are a lot more overweight and obese people than before especially among the younger generation who often eat a lot of junk food or fast food. So even if it’s not as bad as in some other countries, I have noticed the change here.

Look at high school yearbooks from the 60's and 70's and even old films and Americans were slim. People were more active and food wasn't full of high fructose corn syrup and low fat diets weren't being pushed yet just to name a few things that have changed.

I eat a keto clean diet at home in Canada. When I went to Norway and Germany, I developed severe heart burn from all the bread. Makes traveling hard. Our industrialized food system is a disgrace as well as the poor food quality in restaurants. I essentially boycott it as much as possible, raise my own chicken, catch my own fish, buy local beef and pork. Have a garden, have bees, have an orchard and berries. In winter I grow microgreens, which is dead easy. The health care crisis in the West is tied to the terrible food we are eating.

Lived in France for 24 years. Coming back to Holland I experienced the enormous difference in food culture, French people mostly eat their main meals in the afternoon and a very light meal in the evening. Although there is a big difference in the big cities. Most French people still cook their meals from scratch with products bought on local markets and are very conscience about the quality. In Holland I see people eating all day and on all hours that was not the case in France.
