Weekly French Diet Tip: no snacking, only eat during meal times or when it’s time for a small morning or afternoon snack (decide the time ahead of time so it’s easier to manage). And when you feel like snacking, try to drink a large glass of water or consider making yourself a relaxing lavender tea, your craving will pass. Enjoy!
