How does marion cotillard stay thin

There are two versions of the diet to follow: the strict one means knifes, spoons and hands are even banned in food preparation. You also follow that old adage of breakfasting like a king, lunching like a prince and dining like a pauper — which is not something the French normally do.

During the first week, I followed the strict version — steamed vegetables and grilled fillets of fish. During dinner, I had to sit on my hands to resist the urge to grab hunks of bread. While my husband and stepson tucked into a five-course meal, I gamely speared green beans, mange tout and broccoli, along with slivers of various types of fish.

After the first week on Le Forking, I moved on to the gentle version so I could widen my choice of food. Omelettes with chopped vegetable fillings were a favourite.

After three weeks, my husband commented that my tummy was less podgy and my double chin had diminished. After just two weeks on Le Forking, I had lost 7lb. My energy levels remained the same and I slept better.

Tiphaine Chevalier, a year-old lawyer, says she became anorexic in her late teens. It lasted five or six years. I was cured when I spent a year in Glasgow, away from friends and family. I returned to eating normally without thinking about it.

I'm still very fond of Scotland. Chevalier, who is expecting a child in December, says there is a grain of truth in the French myth. We've got better food habits and our meals are more structured. But we're careful, too. The enthusiasm generated by Deydier's book, however, suggests that many French people share her desire for a relaxation of attitudes.

Having done the TV talk show circuit, she is planning a documentary, and her book is due to be published in the UK next year.
