Michel Montignac diet invented, based on the concept of the glycemic index is included. He was the first who suggested the use of the glycemic index to reduce obesity.
Method nutritionist does not limit the amount of food consumed. And you are invited to a balanced diet and a selection of top quality products from each category: fats, carbohydrates and proteins. The rest of the diet often include a ban, and the French diet, by contrast, allows you to enjoy a meal.

He believed that this word carries negative connotations, implying limit consumption of food.
But the main purpose of diet: Limit foods with a high glycemic index (potatoes, beets, carrots). Sugar can be used only once or twice a week, and proteins and fats can be eaten often as you want.
The two main principles of the method Montignac
1. Get rid of ideas that can be dialed from Kolor overweight.
2. It is to select products on their effect on the metabolism and their nutritional value. Useful carbohydrates have a low glycemic index. Avoid fried potatoes, bread, carrots, steamed rice. Saturated fatty acids (very fatty meats and butter) forbade himself forever. Beneficial fats are considered fish oil and olive oil. Protein should be chosen on the basis of their origin (vegetable or animal) and combine them with each other.
