Do you love your wine but worry about your health and weight? This book is crammed full of ideas, advice from specialists, and tried and tested recommendations to help maintain your health without giving up your love of wine and fine food. The book addresses these serious issues in a light-hearted way, through a lens of living in France and with a nod to how ‘French Women do it’. This is not so much a simple diet book as a fascinating lifestyle guide.
Slim volume packed with terrific advice on how to maintain a healthy weight while enjoying wine and great food. Narby has culled information from expert sources, which she combines with practical advice and personal insight. She's lived in France for decades and has adopted many of the habits of French women, famous for maintaining their figures despite a rich cuisine. But she's also big on yoga and explores yoga poses for a 'mind and body detox.' She knows what she's talking about: she organizes Yoga and Wine retreats in Bordeaux.
It's written in a frank, engaging style -- as if you were enjoying a glass of wine with a good friend, who looks fabulous at middle-age, and you've just asked, 'How do you do it?'
