Then, in her mid-20s, Anne Barone discovered chic French women’s techniques for eating well and staying slim — and for dressing chic on a small budget.
Anne Barone lost 55 pounds and acquired a chic French wardrobe.
You can too.
FAT to slim: How long did it take? Answer
Chicer and slimmer, Anne Barone returned to the USA to find a nation growing sloppier and fatter. Oh dear! Women needed those French techniques. Impressed with her system for staying slim, Anne's doctor encouraged her to write a book.
Chic & Slim BOOKS: In 1997, Anne Barone published her first book Chic & Slim: how those chic French women eat all that rich food and still stay slim. More Chic & Slim books followed. Her latest book Chic & Slim Toujours: aging beautifully like those chic French women reveals French secrets for dressing chic and staying slim age 50+.
Chic & Slim WEBSITE: Following publication of the first Chic & Slim book, Anne Barone created this companion website. The NOUVELLES-NEWS section gives you updated information and answers your questions about living chic and staying slim à la française.
ANNE BARONE TODAY: With chic French women’s techniques, Anne Barone became slim in her mid-20s. With her translation of those techniques, she has stayed slim more than 40 years. Now 68, Anne Barone lives in Texas where she is attempting to create a bit of French Provence on the North Texas plains. “Far enough in the country to grow eggplant, apricots and lavender. But close enough to Dallas to make the sales at Neiman Marcus.”
