I've been a fan of Montignac for several years but never read books properly still losing weight where all other diets had failed (and I've tried them all!).
I've read this book again, thoroughly and properly and adhered to all his recommendations. It really does work! What's more is that you feel healthier and mentally calmer (you're not deprived or starving hungry). I love his common-sense approach and his love for food. You feel that you've discovered what was our innate knowledge anyway - that good, unprocessed food is to be enjoyed and savoured and that the commercially based junk foods that we eat - refined and full of bad fats are really harming our metabolisms and causing an epidemic of hyperinsulism/obesity.
I recommend that you really study hard the principles of hypoglycaemic and hyperinsulism that he speaks about and the factors that bring about obesity and symptons of hypoglycaemia which is food cravings, lethargy, depression and weight-gain. Then you understand your bodie's response.
I've found with GI books that there are now a glut of them aroung giving false information by authors who don't seem to care that they've just gone on the GI bandwagon and misleading people.
You will find with Montignac that his approach is balanced, scientific and such a breath of freshair! You begin to eat again well and properly maybe for the first time ever and still lose weight without any fancy gimmicry.
My only critism is that his recipes are not that useful to us English. Being french, living in a different culture with an emphasis on long, 3 course lunches Montignac communicates his passion for lovely soups, main courses and desserts/cheeses but not always practical for working Mums! Nonetheless, they are easy to adapt and by really studying his principles you can create anglo versions.

The Montignac Diet was my first introduction to GI eating. It also helped my to understand why food combining works and is not just weird science. The book is laid out in a very French way but don't let this put you off. After you have read it, you have a way of eating that works and the book is easy to reference. You don't diet; you eat things that are good for you and that you enjoy. And you can change your life.

I'd done slimming world diet before, but wanted something healthier. I didn't want to live on Mullerlight yoghurts! This book revolutionised the way I think about eating. It's not sinful - just enjoyable. The book isn't perhaps as clear as it could be in terms of the basic principles, but after reading certain sections twice the messages finally clicked. The principles are simple and make absolute sense. There are a few recipes at the back, but I would certainly buy another book to broaden the repertoire.
I would highly recommend going onto Montignac's website and printing off the list of foods and GI values as it will help you make your choices when planning and cooking meals. Also, read the FAQs on the website - 58 questions and answers - it was really useful.
If you're reading this, then the likelihood is that you're looking for a new diet or want to change your eating habits. Good luck. Montignac rules!
