This is why it's weird to me that Americans think carbs are bad. I think it's just because everything here is overly processed. Like even our bread and jam are probably much more processed than it is in France.

[@Edukalebylucie]

Yes I see what you mean!

[@kelseymacleod8]

Yes! In America we add so much extra salt and sugar into our foods!

[@thepearlmoon]

@@kelseymacleod8 Yep and chemicals

[@spacequeen8329]

Processed carbs have a higher glycemic index, normally, and they are soft so they can be eaten faster and more mindlessly as well.

[@betsybabf748]

Here in the US, most bad eating habits falls on parents. I'm 48, and have raised 7 children, now aged 13 to 30 (2 of them we fostered, raising). In the past 30 yrs, I can't believe the number of parents who say their children will only eat chicken nuggets, hot dogs, mac and cheese. How is this even an option? The parents buys and cooks the food, making the nutritional decisions, not the 3 yrs old. Child then forms those habits, continuing as if it is normal. A child will not starve if they aren't given junk every day, and they won't even throw a tantrum about it if not shown that is an option. Mine, even the teens, all eat healthy on their own because that is what is normal to them and what they expect, a healthy diet with treats and junk as a treat once in awhile. It starts with Mom & Dad. We are seeing preteens with diet related signs of heart issue and pre-diabetes. That's not ok.

[@amynextdoor]

🤤 Kraft Mac n cheese. True story!! My dad only made hamburger helper :’(

[@yvettedean92]

Well said! That’s exactly what I believe.

[@sweettea1193]

Because parents are too lazy to cook. This is why stay at home parents are vital. Someone needs to be home and be in charge of cooking

[@madeleine5313]

As a mum of two teens I agree with your comment 💯 Bravo! 👏 It really does start with the parents creating healthy good habits.

[@nifflofair6685]

It has a lot to do with the strict rules of fortifications in our foods in USA UK and Canada, that most European countries do t have. We should be asking more questions on what they are putting in our foods , especially too many synthetic vitamins like iron that causes our systems problems..

[@amberowens8816]

Your desserts are just called the French word in America. I know exactly what a tarte, croissant, macaroon and eclair are because that's what we call them as well. 😊♥️ Great video.

These videos are really healing, as someone that struggles really badly with their relationship with food, it is so encouraging to know that eating delicious foods like this is possible within moderation and high-quality ingredients. As someone who is a bit curvier, society has definitely told me that I need to become smaller and in order to do that I have to cut out all of my favorite foods. I have no desire to change my body for the wrong reasons, I only want to be healthy and whole. Thank you for making these videos and reminding me that these foods can be healing too

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you so much for your comment, it really means a lot! Please don't listen to society, only to what *you* want for yourself. Wishing you all the best!

[@angiesmith2877]

Society changes what they think people "should" look like - a couple centuries ago, all the women were supposed to have really big hips, for example. But what matters is taking care of ourselves mentally and physically. Your body doesn't have to fit anyone else's idea of perfection; it just needs to be taken care of. ❤️

[@77Tadams]

Sorry you got fat. It is the thought that you have to eat to fill your stomach that has been stretched to the max. Snake Diet and then you can afford to binge here and again. Its better to not weigh as much to keep the weight off your joints. Also get your hormones back in check by dropping all that sugar.

[@marif2993]

same!! but i have a binge eating disorder so portion control seems like such an impossible concept, like how can they just eat 1 croissant and not want to eat the whole bakery???

[@jenniferforster6683]

I’m Canadian but I’ve lived in France for over a year and this is so true. The bread and butter\jam for breakfast and it seems like everyone eats yogurt after lunch. There are so many aisles in the grocery store for yogurt. Only one option of peanut butter, if you’re lucky, but 1000’s of yogurts! From my experience French people do not eat at their desk or in their cars like we do in North America.

[@Edukalebylucie]

Yes !!

[@paahcoccioli]

In Italy eating while walking or in your car is frowned upon. You HAVE to have a proper sit down meal and even if it's at work or in uni we take time to sit down together and talk. There's also a very ritualistic order. First dish (pasta, rice, soup or carb based dish), second dish (protein, either meat/poultry or cheeses, deli meats, sometimes even a yogurt) with contorno (side of vegetables or salad), then you'll have pudding which is 90% of the time seasonal fruit (clementines in winter are such a classic) and then an espresso. And then a cigarette if you smoke. But most of all you take the time to enjoy your colleagues or family's company. I remember being shocked when I first moved to the UK that at work only 2 people at a time would be allowed to go to lunch and they wouldn't talk to me but just eat their food while staring at their phone or reading a book.

[@jessicah3450]

Companies would exploit letting people eat at desks like crazy as a way to avoid giving them lunch breaks. At all of my jobs, we've had 15 minutes to eat lunch tops. The diet problem here is very complex.

[@ShadesofSage]

I remember my French professor making fun of American peanut butter 🥜! 🤣🤣🤣

[@paahcoccioli]

@@jessicah3450 that’s awful! No one can eat a healthy, stress free meal in 15 minutes! Plus, you need some time to get that food down your belly and relax for a bit before you’re due back! When are companies gonna start accepting that PEOPLE NEED BREAKS! We can’t perform at peak level 100% of the time, and with work bleeding more and more into our personal lives we need to set boundaries otherwise they’d have us working 24/7!

[@Edukalebylucie]

That sounds delicious, thanks for sharing!

[@NattyRose]

In Spain we eat the same, morning is either a croissant with coffee and fresh orange juice. Or my favorite is multi grain toast with tomato and a olive oil and some salt , coffee and fresh orange juice. Also the coffee is always an espresso and it’s very tiny in comparison to the Starbucks portions for lattes etc. Lunch always has a small portion of soup or salad for appetiser and then second dish is meat or fish with veggies or potato or rice. Again the portions are so tiny. For dessert is always fruit or yogurt. And dinner is pretty much similar but usually it’s even more tinny and it’s usually a soup or a salad. Again dessert is the same. And after lunch and dinner we always have herbal teas or coffee( mostly an espresso for lunch) I usually will have mint tea for lunch and chamomile tea for dinner in order to help with digestion ( also chamomile is perfect to relax before sleep). Aaah and the snacks are usually a small sandwich with fresh bread or just two cookies with tea or milk or juice. Again small portions!

[@rouxanne-laure8938]

Italian, Spanish and French cherish food the same way, this is why we have famous gastronomie

[@pinkm6422]

Im not European but sometimes i like to eat an Italian breakfast that i found about long time ago.. its my favorite! A crunchy toast with cubed fresh tomato on top of it, some olive oil, some balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper and the secret touch is either fresh basil from my balcony or dried basil its so yummy epically with tea ! Love, from saudi arabia🙏🏼

[@tfoprincess]

That's how some islands in the Caribbean are due to the European influence. A basic breakfast, heavy lunch and a basic dinner. Breakfast: omelette or sausage and crackers or cocoa tea and bakes (it depends on if it's weekend or week day). Maybe bread and avocado or porridge. Lunch: provision (fig, dasheen, yam, sweet potato) and meat (fish was more common before), soup, fish broth, pelau (rice and chicken one pot). Vegetables and beans are included too lol. Snack: fruits, yogurt. Our cakes are low in sugar (in some islands) but definitely not the flagship of our diet. Dinner: Honestly idk. Dinner really isn't important. Maybe just cereal or just tea. I just eat two scrambled eggs (No bread...just the eggs) The obesity rate in the Caribbean has gone up because of the Americanisation (KFC, refined carbs). I maintain my weight effortlessly by eating a strict Caribbean diet (as long as my portions are sane).

I’m American and my bf and I are both pretty thin. And we usually share a meal at a restaurant because of the portion sizes. We just found we usually get full sharing. I would do this with my friends a lot too. But obviously not all restaurants have huge portion sizes.

Most Americans call the pastries the same thing. We just don't pronounce them the same. I love Macarons especially since they tend to be gluten free(body can't tolerate gluten) but I usually make them myself.

[@Edukalebylucie]

Wow so cool that you make them yourself, I always mess them up 🤣

[@nickiford9464]

I'm Irish having lived in Germany and now in the US. So helpful to be reminded of how we should eat. To enjoy food, to not ban any certain food or food group. My dad used to say "a little of what you fancy does you good" and "everything in moderation". Portion size, less snacking and eating meals as a family are so important. I was able to loose weight eating family meals at home in Ireland growing up just by reducing portion size and not snacking. Thanks for the reminder to eat salad or a vegetable soup before the main dish. Bravo!

[@NourishWithIntent]

I've always struggled with my food relationship. I definitely use food as a reward far more often than I probably should. I've recently been very interested in the way that the French eat, not as a tool for weight loss, but because the culture seems to have a much more realistic and healthier mindset/approach than what I grew up knowing (in Canada). This led me to your videos Lucie and I'm very happy to have found them! Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing!

That’s interesting that you say French people eat cheese after dinner; in Germany, we have a saying that translates to, “cheese closes the stomach,” and it is also tradition, at least in my family, to munch on cheese after the main meal!

[@Edukalebylucie]

Guess us Europeans have things in common!

[@claudesantolini6335]

I'm English, having lived in France for many years. Cheese is eaten here before the dessert. In UK cheese is eaten at the end of the meal. The French have been putting on a lot of weight for some years. A lot of young men and women have sleeve ops, etc. I'm afraid I have to 'burst your balloon'. In wealthy countries most people are putting on weight. It's a serious problem. In France pizzas are widely eaten.

[@byzantineladybug9471]

@@claudesantolini6335 what factors are contributing to this, based on your observations and experience? What has changed and what has been lost that is now leading to the weight gain?

Cheese being high in fat is satistfying and reduces appetite for more food and its wise before dessert so,you want less dessert...or pudding as you say in England.

UK - Quiche Lorraine is common (ham and cheese). We also like our Smoked Salmon and Broccoli Quiche, Cheddar Cheese and Tomato Quiche is the veggie go to. Croissants etc are French Pastries ..... Either breakfast or treat. Sadly, the food industry that is so common and pushed in the US is now causing obesity problems in the UK. When I grew up, you would rarely see any child being overweight but today, around 40% are very overweight. Processed food :(

almost all French people learn English in school, so you can definitely visit without knowing the language!

I live in the US and eat very similarly to this; LOVE soup and quiche, and clementines are my go-to snack! I also love a little brie or cheddar with an apple. One of the only differences in my diet-- I don't eat as much bread because it's hard to find "quality" bread at a regular grocery store, unless you go to an actual bakery where they bake it fresh daily. Most US chain grocers have "bakeries" in them, but if you read the ingredients in the bread, it's quite frightening. I try to get real sourdough whenever I can because I don't bake!

I would appreciate some typical recipes, as that salad looked different but interesting, compared to what type of salad I make.

[@socks2756]

I’m live in Quebec, so I’m French-Canadian and this was really interesting because we eat pretty different over here but we’re also French

[@fraisedesbois7240]

French canadian here too❤

Hi Lucie! I’m just watching you for the first time & I did enjoy this video . Just want to comment that we never eat the same thing for dinner twice in a week. In my family we might have chicken once,,then a beef dish, a pasta , pizza on Friday’s etc. The only time I might repeat a dish in a week is if I made a huge portion ; enough for a second night. Hoping to see more of your videos ! I will subscribe!☺️

Thank you for sharing!

[@reneeriquetcarr4829]

I'm French and entree is not usually a green salad but radishes with butter ,carrot shredded salad tomato saltad scallions with butter . A green salad is always after the main course then we have cheese almost always after dinner and wine is always served with dinner and sometimes lunch as well But as you said every family is different

[@ukelilly]

[@RupyAvaani]

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you !

This looks like the amount I would eat at a time. I eat way more greens and fruits tho and I also eat more often when I work more. Balance and moderation is key!

[@sofiaalves8124]

I’m loving to know more abou French real food

[@jjtint]

This is very good video. As American I want to eat healthier and this helps! 😊

[@hopelucie]

i love u for this.

[@Irishwoods1]

I'm grateful that my parents gave me good eating habits and I've made sure to continue the habits. What I found funny was that you are under the impression that Americans eat the same meal five times in a week. I don't know anyone who repeats the same meal that often in a week. However, perhaps someone might do that if they have poor eating habits, i.e. eat fast food more often than they should. Wonderful video!

[@misbahailia3345]

Ohh, i've always loved quiche! I never knew it was part of French cusine.

[@donnabeaty4760]

Thank you for this information about vegetarian meals. I gave up beef and pork many years ago and am thinking about giving up poultry as well. Your beautiful skin is obviously a by product of your healthy diet. I’m an American and we don’t eat the same thing daily and I don’t know anyone who does.

[@mysharona6754]

A lot, a lot of people meal prep and eat the same thing a couple of days a week. It's common with people who are eating a certain way for fitness goals.

[@joymae]

The bread jam and butter is so good

[@ant318]

I spent a lot of time in France. The food is so good. And seasonal. Eg winter is stews summer is barbecue and salads. Lots of fish and fruits. Cheeses. But also the pastries and wine 🍷😀

[@taunyawren8020]

Can you explain in more detail your potato recipe please.

[@RavenWolfDrum69]

The fresh bread looks yummy

[@Edukalebylucie]

It is!!

2021 goal: turn on notifications for Lucie and stay on track with intuitive eating

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you so much!! Good luck with intuitive eating!

[@malloryjines5050]

Totally agree with you. I grew up with home cooked meals, in very reasonable portions. I’m 65 and I can’t believe how large portion sizes are here in the US. Sometimes it makes me physically ill when they put large portion sizes in front of me. Yes, I’m American.

[@kmichalene]

Looks delicious! Would you be willing to provide the recipe for the quiche?

[@Edukalebylucie]

I put the recipe books I use in the description, but I think any spinach-ricotta quiche recipe you can find online will do!

[@kmichalene]

@@Edukalebylucie D'accord. Merci beaucoup! :-)
