My husband began (even with periodic infringements) to adhere to the method, and within the first 3 months he lost more than 30 lb. In total for 3 years he dumped 50 lb. This way (photo on the right) my husband looked prior to losing weight, in March, 2001. The second picture below was taken in July, 2004.
Montignac warns, that men lose weight easier, than women. He advises women to be especially cautious and not to deviate from the method. My experience has confirmed it. In the autumn 2000 I arrived to the USA and found lots of fruits I had known nothing about and nothing was mentioned in glycemic indexes table. I thought, that any fruits would be all right, but began to gain weight, not understanding, why. Couple of years later I learned from another book on low glycemic diet , that papaya, mango and kiwi have high glycemic index. I excluded them from my diet, but did not lose weight any more.
Low glycemic nutrition normalizes blood sugar level, renders a positive influence on heart and blood system, reduces level of cardiovascular diseases; makes pancreas healthier and facilitates their work. Products with high GI raise sugar in blood, wear out pancreas, lead to diabetes gaining weight.
Eating products with low GI smoothly raises sugar in blood up to an optimum level, spares pancreas, clears blood vessels, stabilizes level of insulin and leads to achievement of ideal weight. This method also takes into consideration compatibility of products, characteristics of different fats, time and frequency of eating food, how to prepare it (for example, raw carrots have a low GI and cooked carrots have a high GI) and many other things.
The method has two phases: in the first phase of weight loss it is necessary to adhere to strict rules of diet; in the second phase when we reach ideal weight, different indulgences are allowed; at the end of the meal sometimes we can eat food with high GI. I will add that the value of different foods is not limited to glycemic levels. It is necessary to consider other criteria too.
