Simply adjusting our eating habits can help us not only shed excess weight, but also prevent metabolic diseases, in particular diabetes and heart disease.

These principles are for everyone who expects to enjoy healthy, good food and still meet the needs of health concerns.

They use common, cheap ingredients and can be made by any beginner.

The French have the lowest average body weight per capita in the western world, and yet they eat famously well. Nutritionist Montignac explains that this not only has to do with which foods the French choose to eat, but their quality, freshness, and most importantly, the way that they are combined. Although the book is based on the concept of glycemic index (GI), which other diet books discuss, this is the only book that provides the net GI values of combined foods--for example, when you dip a slice of bread in olive oil, its GI drops by 25 percent. Montignac's dieting methods have been helpful to tens of thousands of people around the world who have achieved impressive and long-lasting results and reduced their risk of developing cardiovascular disease.--From publisher description.
One of the pioneers of using GI (glycaemic index) in relation to weight loss was Frenchman Michel Montignac. His diet has a large number of followers and is based on the glycaemic index of foods as well as food combinations. According to Michel Montignac, combining certain foods makes you fat, and ultimately we dont put on weight by eating too much but by eating badly. He sees weight gain as being linked to eating bad carbohydrates and bad food combinations.
