10 French eating habits you will probably find peculiar

Balance
The French don’t eat a cheeseburger and then run to the gym to work it off like Americans. They eat a cheeseburger and then balance it out with a fish the next, day, then a salad the day after and maybe a nice peach for dessert instead of the juicy cake. It’s all about balance. Dieting by counting calories and eliminating food groups just doesn’t happen for the average French woman. France is the 2nd largest market for McDonalds, so don’t think the French never treat and indulge. They do, but it needs to be balanced out with healthy food too.
