I love the update—I was literally watching it while enjoying a Jolly Rancher 😊❤️.
I’ve actually never followed a formal diet, but I do tend to eat pretty clean, similar to what you described. I naturally fall into a bit of an intermittent fasting routine—mainly because my body doesn’t tolerate late-night eating well. If I eat too late, I end up with stomach discomfort and bloating, so I try to keep dinner no later than around 6:30.
My mornings are simple: one cup of coffee, and breakfast is usually eggs with avocado for protein and balance. I sometimes skip lunch, depending on how I feel.
I can imagine that after living there for so long, you begin to adapt to different rhythms and habits—it sounds completely natural to me ❤️.

I’d probably loose a lot of weight if I didn’t snack. It’s a mindless habit of mine during evening hours. I’d definitely love all of the walking. Gotta have my coffee! ☕️ ❤ love your videos.
The person’s “self control” is disordered, and it’s pretty sad. I’ve been to France enough to understand the food culture. Impossibly thin French women, are smoking and barely eating. Fortunately, I think most have a good balance of eating and activity.
I lived right outside of Paris in Suresnes about 12 years ago. Upon moving back to the states I adopted walking outdoors daily, grocery shopping for fresh produce more frequently, shopping at farmers markets, visiting and appreciating our local museums, picnicking at the public parks…etc. As a girl from Detroit, Paris truly changed the way I seen the world. I pray one day I can move back…hopefully soon. I enjoy your videos.
When I visit Paris I eat all the food I can because I know I will not gain weight. So I eat a lot of small meals and dessert too. 😂 Bon appetite.
Your friend is certainly used to eat small quantities of food. Her stomach is used to eat less than what you consider "normality". In Japan people eat until they are 80% full. That's why they are healthier and thinner than americans. There are less problems of obesity in France (and Europe in general) and Japan than in the USA. If you don't have a lot of physical activities, you don't need a lot of food
I (German) love your videos and your insights…
Good for you, no snacking and less sugar are beneficial changes! I like French food and wine, their eating and dining etiquette, and their cafe culture. It's great that you live in a society that not only demands quality food, but also have a government that enforces and protects it.
