Eat Yourself Slim by Michel Montignac (1999?)
PRO- The most fascinating part of this diet is that you do not count , carbohydrate or calories.
There are only two phases to this plan.
Phase 1.- You stay on this until you get to your ideal weight.
Phase 2.- This is the maintenance portion that you live with the rest of your life.
Carbohydrates- The foods are not shown in grams, but are given an 'index number' to show their glycemic index, for a comparison of 'good' and 'bad' carbs.
As an example here is a short list:
High Glycemic Index Carbohydrates:
Maltose (beer) 110
Glucose 100
Baked potatoes 95
Hamburger Rolls 85
Sugar (saccharose) 70
Corn 70
Long-grain rice 60
Bananas 60
Shortbread cookies 55
Low Glycemic Index Carbs.
Brown Rice 50
Sweet Potatoes 50
Oatmeal 40
Rye Bread 40
Raw Carrots 30
Dairy Products 30
Green Lentils 22
Fresh Apricots 15
Green Veggies < 15
Phase 1 - You eat three substantial meals a day plus snacks.
He also does not expect anybody to over eat these meals. You use only Carbs that have a Glycemic index from 0 to 35. Of course these meals do include protein and fats.
Phase 2 - You can eat the rest of your life from 0 to 50 which will maintain your weight.
For people who have high blood pressure or heart conditions, he does also recommend low fat, and low cholesterol foods.
I do not know if any of our members who have been on this Plan, but I am thinking of trying it, as CAD is too slow for me.
I like the idea of not having to count carbs or calories,
