Americans diet while the French dine. But is it true that French women don't get fat? Is there a French Paradox-the counterintuitive notion that a diet that includes cheese, chocolate, and wine is associated with improved cardiovascular health and weight management? In The French Twist, nutritional consultant Carol Cottrill lets American women in on twelve secrets for organizing their personal rhythms and rituals around this concept, which can have a profound effect on their metabolism and weight.

It was good but the narrator ruined it for me

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
The book had some good substantive "meat" to it. She does wax on and on at times about "obesity epidemics" and evil food corporations. Great, it's true it's valuable etc. etc. :x However, I found the most beneficial part of the book the shortest bit: the weekly practical tips! More "Hey, this is how one implements this!" and less preachy-preach would have been good because there is good content hidden in.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Tiffany Williams?
This narrator really ground my gears. The accents, the male voices, the character voices...ugh. She would start off with a Southern accent for a character, drop it, and pick it back up again in the same dialogue. The narrator's voice is not very listen-able, either. That is just my opinion though...so take it or leave it.
Do you think The French Twist: Twelve Secrets of Decadent Dining and Natural Weight Management needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
A follow up book would be nice if it was more practical.
