French Obesity Rate Mystifies US After Cheese, Wine, Bread Diet Approved
KEY POINTS
- •Dr. Meghan Garcia-Webb noticed healthier French diets during her recent trip, despite rich foods like cheese and wine.
- •She promotes filling half the plate with fruits and non-starchy vegetables to simplify healthy eating without obsessive tracking.
- •Her concierge practice helps stressed CEOs and attorneys ditch extreme diet fads, encouraging temporary food tracking only for baseline awareness.
Dr. Meghan Garcia-Webb, weight-loss specialist and part-time food philosopher, discovered in February 2026 on her French getaway that folks drowning in cheese, wine, and baguettes have a slimmer silhouette than preoccupied Americans counting every carb and 'protein maxxing.' Shunning the calorie police, she promotes a shockingly novel strategy: fill half your plate with non-starchy produce—yes, raw carrots and cucumbers can be lazy people’s best friends. Firms like Business Insider published her revelations after she shared insider tips from her concierge practice helping CEOs and attorneys burn calories by stressing less. Apparently, frozen veggies are as hip as fresh ones, and food trackers should be fired after a few days—not a lifelong sentence. As Dr. Garcia-Webb put it, 'People think they’re eating healthier than they are,' which is comforting to anyone fooled by protein-enriched junk disguises — talk about a health marketing scam sequel!

Turns out, obsessively counting carbs and protein is about as relaxing as a root canal, but figuring out that half your plate should be veggies might actually help. Who knew? Meanwhile, the French party with wine and cheese and stay slim like it's a national sport.
Calories, carbs, and protein gram-counting have ruined dinner conversations forever. Just half the plate veggies, they said. Eat up, they said. The veggies didn’t show up to my fridge, though.
Americans track every cheese crumb while the French snack on cheese, wine, and bread, still slimmer. This weight-loss logic feels like trying to fix a car by just listening to the radio.
