Thanks for the alternate leek soup recipe. I tried the leek soup recipe when I read French Women the first time and I barely lasted half a day.. I need more flavor and substance. But maybe I will try it again (I like your idea of leek soup day instead a full weekend!)Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187629135605890208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692852390886802172.post-57006911710422079122009-01-08T20:59:00.000-08:002009-01-08T20:59:00.000-08:00I love this book.

I read it a couple of years ago but it is probably time for a refresher (I gained enough weight last year so that now only 1 pair of jeans actually fit me anymore. sad). Your synopsis is great... and thanks for the inspiration to return to Mirielle's wisdom. I did try the Leek weekend, but I don't think I made it a whole day. I think I'd need to add some flavor and substance if I tried it again.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187629135605890208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692852390886802172.post-70932366259037872512009-01-07T18:14:00.000-08:002009-01-07T18:14:00.000-08:00Bonjour!This would be the most important for me!6....Bonjour!<BR/>This would be the most important for me!<BR/>6.

I have done the leek weekend, and found that I do not like leeks. haha but it wasn't really too hard, you just have to keep your mind occupied and stay away from the kitchen or you'll think about being hungry. I definitely recommend trying it though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692852390886802172.post-23160151014433783892009-01-04T10:08:00.000-08:002009-01-04T10:08:00.000-08:00Thanks for the visit!

I have that book, read it a long long time ago but only made it halfway thru. Didn't do anyting about it. Leek soup didn't sound good to me... maybe now, 20 lbs!!!! later I will? Not sure. The only diet I had my whole life was when i was pregnant and diagnosed with gestational diabetes. The diet worked! I even went back to wearing my smaller size pants. But after the birth i compenstated big time. With cheesecakes! Got to start a new page. I'm with you. Will follow what ypu're doing here!
