It is important to emphasis that La Feytaud is much more than a weight loss diet programme. It is a health lifestyle that will halve your weekly food bills and help increase your metabolism hastening weight loss and keep the fat off. Most subscribers find their skin tone improves, facial wrinkles and lines become less defined. As it has a basis in French cuisine with specially selected ingredients and the French have one of the lowest occurrences of heart disease in Europe, could help fight heart disease.

The latest league tables Coronary Heart Disease Statistics compiled by the British Heart Foundation provides figures for the age adjusted death rates per 100,000 head of population aged 35-74 in England and Wales in 1990 as 448 for men and 167 for women. By comparison in France it is 101 and 32. In other words, more than four times as many English men and five times as many English women die from heart disease as their French counterparts - a shocking difference that can only be explained by diet and lifestyle.

The French are healthier, fitter and enjoy higher sexual libidos than their fat English neighbours. Yet eating is a religion in France. Everything stops for a two our lunch, evening meals contain several courses and usually washed down with more wine than is considered healthy by experts.

When I was developing La Feytaud diet and trying to feed my family of 2 adults and three children for a week on what was no more than what one person would spend on an evening meal out at a restaurant, I looked very carefully at how French meals were constructed and cooked. An evening meal could be 3 to 5 courses, yet prepared quickly and without effort. The French take time over consuming their meals and always at the kitchen or dining room table; it is unheard of for French people to sit and consume their meal off a tray on their laps.

Meat is generally more expensive in France than in the USA or UK. Yet the French spend less on their household food bills than the English or Americans. Having established why and how they were able to do this, I set about creating a diet that would be nutritional, enjoyed by adults and children and incorporating a number of ingredients that I understood or believed to be health giving without being fattening.

The result is that La Feytaud diet enables you to eat extremely well, without the feeling of being on a diet or depriving yourself of food. You will feel that you have eaten a fantastic meal yet the pounds will just fall away providing you follow the diet and my advice.

You will lose weight, gain muscle, your body shape will change, and you will have more energy and generally feel fitter and hungrier. If you suffer from arthritis, rheumatism, aching joints or backache, I sincerely believe that you will find an overall improvement in your condition. Skin tone improves, facial lines and wrinkles become less defined, your fingernails will strengthen and your hair condition will improve.

If you have a child with a weight problem, this is a diet that they can enjoy along with the whole family.
