I totally understand the confusion with the Montignac books. I'm English and living in the US, and in a certain way I think the books are quite European centric as well.

It took a good 4 months of working with the plan before I got fully comfortable with it - which is why I suggested the other book that I am reading now - as it seems to lay things out in a much better way. Maybe it doesn't suffer from translation problems?!

Hope it helps - and welcome to the world of Montiganc!
