35、in beautiful, sunny Provence.“French women refuse to accept being overweight,” says David Benchetrit, director of the Clinique du Poids Clinic in Paris. “It is no secret that they want to be beautiful, in love, and take care of themselves so they look good.”Another thing I observed is that the Frenc

42、whose mothers tightly control their diets may be prone to overeating, while those with moms who pressure them to eat healthily tend to be fussy (爱挑剔的) about food, a new study finds.The findings do not necessarily mean that parents mealtime strategies cause their children to overeat or become picky e
43、aters.
