French Women Don't Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure

This is the book we've all (certainly every woman between 25 and 75) been waiting for. It is classy, chic, convincing, funny, wise, well-written and very timely. It's the ultimate non-diet book, which nonetheless shows us how to eat with balance, control and above all pleasure. Chuck out all the radical diet books, think about what you eat and why, and then enjoy eating the right things (and some of the wrong ones) intelligently, and in smaller portions. Eat, like a French woman, with your head not your stomach. Guiliano, French-born and bred, gets the tone absolutely right. She succeeds in that rare high-wire act of being really serious about her subject but without taking herself too seriously; manages to encourage and inspire and amuse, without being bossy or earnest. This is a book that will make you laugh out loud and yet have you following several of her practical precepts within days - everyone who reads it becomes evangelical (French women don't go to the gym, they climb the...

Mireille Guiliano (French pronunciation: [miʁɛj ʒuˈlyɑnɔ]) (born on April 14, 1946, in Moyeuvre-Grande, France) is a French-American author.

Mireille wrote French Women Don't Get Fat (2004) which reached #1 on the New York Times "Advice, How-to and Miscellaneous: Hardcover bestseller" list,[1] followed by French Women for All Seasons. She runs a related website offering advice, recipes, and a reader forum to complement her French Women books.

Mireille's third book, Women, Work & The Art of Savoir Faire: Business Sense & Sensibility was published in October 2009,[2] and her fourth, The French Women Don't Get Fat Cookbook, was released in April 2010.[3]

Mireille has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Today, The Early Show, Dateline NBC and CNN. She has been profiled in The New York Times, USA Today, TIME, Newsweek, The Robb Report, Business Week, Travel & Leisure, Food & Wine and dozens of other publications.[4]

She frequently contributes articles on food, wine, travel, and lifestyle to a wide range of publications, including Town & Country and The Quarterly Review of Wines. She has authored essays for Newsweek,[5] Bon Appétit,[6] and Nespresso magazines, as well as the third chapter of Parisiennes (Flammarion 2007).[7]

Mireille works with groups promoting business opportunities and education for women.[8][9]

Contents

Education

A native of France, Mireille Guiliano grew up in Rombas, Lorraine amidst cooks, chefs, and restaurateurs. Mireille completed a year of her primary education as an exchange student in the United States (1966). She completed her secondary education in Paris, where she studied French and English literature at the Sorbonne Nouvelle (1966–1970)[10] and received her Master's degree. She also attended the Institut Supérieur d'Interprétariat et de Traduction[10] where she received a certification as a translator/interpreter.[11][12]

Career

Prior to becoming a full-time author, Mireille was for over 20 years the spokesperson for Champagne Veuve Clicquot and a senior executive at LVMH as well as CEO of Clicquot, Inc., the United States firm she helped found in 1984 and was its first employee.[13][14]

Mireille Guiliano is one of the few women to rise to the top of the luxury industry and is well-known for her business success. Under her leadership, Veuve Cliquot grew its U.S. marketshare from less than 1% to 25%.[15] After publishing French Women Don’t Get Fat and French Women for All Seasons, Guiliano decided to retire from Cliquot, Inc. (LVMH) and follow her new passion to become a full-time writer.[16]

Personal

Mireille currently resides in Manhattan with her husband, Edward, president and CEO of the New York Institute of Technology, and makes frequent trips to their homes in Paris and Provence for business and pleasure.

Books

Mireille Guiliano's first book, French Women Don't Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure was a #1 bestseller in the US,[1] as well as a best seller in many other countries. In less than six months, well over 1 million copies of the book were printed and it has been translated into 37 languages.[17] The book was based on the lessons she learned after gaining weight as a teen. Her family physician, dubbed "Dr. Miracle" by Mireille, came to the rescue: reintroducing her to classic principles of French gastronomy plus time-honored tricks of the local women, he helped restore her shape with a fresh understanding of food, drink, and living. The key lessons he taught her were moderation and how to eat for pleasure while maintaining a healthy diet and healthy weight.[13][18]

In the fall of 2006, Mireille followed up with French Women for All Seasons: A Year of Secrets, Recipes and Pleasure.[19] Devoted to l'art de vivre (the art of living), the book contains 100 additional recipes that feature French staples such as leeks and chocolate. While her first book enabled readers to enjoy a healthier relationship with food, French Women for All Seasons showed readers how to enjoy a healthier relationship with life. In both, through her personal stories and illustrations, she espouses living life to the fullest by embracing quality, sensitivity, seasonality, and pleasure, while maintaining a healthy equilibrium.[20]

In Fall 2009, Atria Books published Mireille's third book, Women, Work & The Art of Savoir Faire.[21] The book is a guide for women in business, exploring issues of balancing career and personal life, risk taking, career advancement, leadership, branding, etiquette, mentoring, communication skills, and personal relationships. It draws on the insights and experiences Mireille gathered over her thirty-year career in business, including a long stop as CEO of Clicquot, Inc. (LVMH). As in her other books, Mireille leads with the message that life, even in business, should be a pursuit of pleasure.[22]

In Spring 2010, Mireille published "The French Women Don't Get Fat Cookbook" (Atria), her first cookbook and the third book in the "French Women" trilogy. The cookbook includes recipes as well as stories from Mireille's life and advice for maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle. As in her earlier books, chocolate, champagne and pleasure are key ingredients.[23]
