The Montignac diet

The principle
According to Michel Montignac, author of the work Lose weight forever by eating normally, the association of some foods makes you fat. We therefore gain weight not because we eat too much, but because we eat poorly.

According to Montignac, gaining weight would be linked to the consumption of the wrong carbohydrates and bad food associations.
This diet recommends eliminating foods with a high glycemic index (potatoes, carrots, turnips, white bread, pasta ...) which cause insulin secretion, and therefore the growth of fat cells. Likewise, it prohibits some types of association between fats and sugars or animal and starchy proteins. For example, French fries, which combine carbohydrates and lipids, are avoided at all costs.
On the other hand, you can eat as much protein and lipids as you like, since they are consumed alone. Fruit is authorized, but only between meals. Cereals must be whole to reduce the glycemic index.
