The French have the lowest average body weight per capita in the western world, and yet they eat famously well. Montignac explains in The French Diet 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, The French Diet is the only book that provides the net GI values of combined foods. Already a phenomenon for years in Europe, 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. The diet has also found a celebrity following among devotees like singer Kylie Minogue and fashion designer Christian Lacroix.
Written for a range of readers, from those who dine out frequently, to yo-yo dieters, to those who don¹t want to give up wine or "the good life" but who do want to lose weight, The French Diet reveals the secret to living, eating, and looking like the French with this delicious, deprivation-free diet.

Summary: This is the REAL way to lose weight
Comment: My husband and I have tried every diet known to man (and woman). All have had some flaw or another that made them difficult to maintain (boring, expensive, just plain hungry). This diet focuses on Glycemic Index, so many carbs and fats are acceptable. The diet is very easy to follow long term, we don't get hungry, and many of the recipes included are really good! We even eat chocolate and drink wine... regularly!!! And we have each lost about 15 pounds in the 3 months we have been following this plan. This is a great plan for long term success, and is our new way of eating. It's not an instant weight loss program, but finally one we have found that we can comfortably follow for the long term and lose weight consistently.
