[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t eat potatoes and bananas because I’ve been maintaining a major weight loss my whole life. I am one of the very rare people actually successful at maintaining a loss so I’m not really all that impressed with what other cultures do. People in other cultures also fail to maintain serious (60lb+) weight losses. [/quote]

well, they're not 60+lb overweight to begin with so maybe you should be impressed at their ability to not get fat in the first place[/quote]

As a french Parisian woman who saw what me and my friends eat to be skinny: indeed I wouldn’t eat a banana every day. But I would mostly avoid the crazy juicing trend :  I would think eating 1 or 2 fruits a day is perfectly fine if you never had any weight issue.

That being said about “other cultures”: traditionally women over 30 don’t weigh 120 pounds. The traditional diet of any country would give you a much curvier standard, not fat but the easy maintenance weight on a traditional french/italien/Spanish diet would put most 5”5 30 year old woman at 140-150 pounds easy. Let’s not romanticize it too much. Nowadays we want t look like size 0 athletes, there is nothing traditional about that. Back to my Parisian friends: they simply don’t eat as much, I think some of you would have a hard time imagining how much smaller the food quantities are. If they eat a big meal they barely touch a carrot at the next. No Miracle[/quote]
