Welcome to a new feature here on Life With Dee – the French Chic Book Club! Each month I’ll select a book for my fellow Francophiles to read. Then, if you’d like to discuss it, I’ll have a pinned post in my French Chic Facebook group where you can share your thoughts and observations. This month we will read Chic & Slim by Anne Barone.

Chic & Slim:
How those chic French women
eat all that rich food
& still stay slim
I became acquainted with Anne Barone, the author of this month’s selection, many years ago in the original French Chic Yahoo Group. I still have my signed copy of this, her first book, which she personally mailed out to those who ordered directly from her. She also included a little gift – two demitasse cups with matching saucers.
Chic & Slim is a short yet informative and very personal read that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. She also still has a website which she updates regularly:
Anne Barone: French Chic & Slim
And she is in the process of writing another book!
But for now, let’s enjoy her first:
How do those chic French women eat all that chocolate, cheese and pastry — and all that delicious French bread — and still stay slim? They don’t count calories. Few go to a gym. Is their slimming secret chic personal style? In Chic & Slim: How Those Chic French Women Eat All That Rich Food And Still Stay Slim, author Anne Barone shares French secrets to dressing chic and staying slim. After a quarter century struggling with excess weight, in her mid-20s, Anne Barone used techniques she learned from chic French women to lose 55 pounds. With her Chic & Slim system — her translation of those techniques designed for life outside France — she has stayed slim more than 40 years. In Chic & Slim, Anne Barone shows you how, no matter where you live, you can eat as well, yet stay as slim as chic French women.
