Everybody thinks that French people eat croissant every single morning.....

... but reality is that most people prefer to eat bread with butter and jam.

For me, it is a paradise on earth! You can swim in the warm sea of Caribbean coast, there are two rivers and magical sunsets (which I really appreciate).

A french-maroccan woman shares her eating routine in France.

The whole notion of French women effortlessly maintaining their figure while indulging in croissants and baguettes at breakfast amuses me. I am a French Moroccan, married to a French man, and surrounded by a plethora of French women - Sisters-in-law, cousins-in-law, and friends - Most of them manage to stay slim.

I am doing everything in my power to maintain a figure I can live with, though not exactly where I want to be. My regimen includes cardio, strength training, yoga, fasting, and calories counting. I am up for just about anything, except sacrificing family meals and my social life.

One thing is true about the French: they have a social life that revolves a lot around food and wine, and I am happily on board. Unlike my French girlfriends who don't put on a single pound after a heavy dinner party, I must sweat it out at the gym for the entire following week, only to return to square one. So, what's their secret?

While genetics may play a role, I've decided to observe their eating habits for inspiration. Take my sister-in-law, for instance - the perfect example. We are both in our fifties, have endured three pregnancies, and lead similar lifestyles. Yet, she looks just as she did when I first met her thirty years ago. So, what is she doing right, and what am I doing wrong?
She doesn't have croissants and baguettes for breakfast.
Instead, it's an orange and a cup of tea for her.

As for me, I stick religiously to the 16:8 intermittent fasting and skip breakfast.
At lunch, she eats unappetizing meals.
She has chicken salad, endives, or vegetable soups with croutons. Healthy, no doubt, but do I want to eat that? No. Not satisfying enough for me. By noon, I crave something heartier, like a peanut butter sandwich or oat cereals with yogurt and blueberries.

She doesn't snack.

Or maybe she would eat a small piece of fruit, or a handful of nuts.

I, on the other hand, eagerly await my 5 pm break, where I indulge in fruits, yogurt, a cereal bar, and perhaps a couple of rice cakes. Healthy, right? But a tad too much for my BMR.
She doesn't dive headfirst into appetizers.
At every French dinner party, the guests sit around a table laden with drinks and appetizers for what feels like an eternity. Those are the real culprits. The Apéro usually starts around 7 or 8 pm, you are starving, so what do you do? You binge. That's what I do. She doesn't. She nibbles on one or two bites and slowly sips her champagne.
She doesn't finish her plate.
Whether it's a regular family dinner or a grand dinner party, she swiftly becomes full. No rice or pasta for her to accompany the beef stew. She pushes her plate away after a few bites. Me, on the contrary, would gladly have seconds. I'm full, but it's so delicious. I had been carried away by lively conversations, oblivious to the first serving going down. When it's cheese time, she has a small bite of her favourite cheese, and she either skips dessert entirely or indulge in the tiniest slice.

Guess what I do? I have my cheese with bread and wine and a good serving of cake.

Does she get hungry? I have no idea. If yes, it's either she's remarkably good at suppressing hunger, or maybe her stomach is just tiny, requiring minimal food.

Regardless. I can't do it because it's not who I am.

I love my food and wine, love eating until I am full, and hate the frustration of turning down a piece of cake that I truly crave. I do my best the rest of the time to stay fit. I exercise and eat healthily, avoiding junk food and temptation as much as possible. Sure, I won't attain my sister-in-law's dream figure, but I am contempt with my imperfect body. It carries me wherever I want to go, and I must thank it, not to punish it. Life is too short.

Morerover, I like the fact that Palomino is located close to indigenous people, for example, the Kogui.

I would like to live close to Bogota because there are places very beautiful in my opinion, in the mountains you can live quit with the nature and the cold weather and you can have animals, a mini crop in your house and harvest vegetables for your meals.

UK It is one of the countries I have wanted to visit the most since I was a child.

I love the British accent especially the accent Socuse and Birmingham accent.

It is also a country with an incredible culture and it would be a new experience for me.
