Reference charts, short phrases to repeat, easy to follow dietary principles… here are 10 things that will help you stay the course to reach your ideal weight.
1 – The glycemic index table
Discover a fundamental tool for weight loss: the glycemic index table! It makes it possible to make the right food choices by directing the energy of the food consumed towards the burning, to detriment of storage. You should almost remember it by heart …
2 – The Montignac method is not a diet
Remember that the method Montignac is not a diet in the classic sense of the word, it’s a new way to feed you for the rest of your life! The method was designed for people with a lot of business dinners, who eat a lot outside. So it can be followed everywhere, you will soon be saying goodbye to your overweight BMI.
3 – lose weight by eating better, not by eating less
There are many people who follow the Montignac method and who quickly report eating more than before, while observing a weightloss. It is the choice of foods that will make the difference, depending on the foods chosen. You can play with the quantities.
The Montignac method plays on the blood sugar, so if you eat foods with a low glycemic index, the amounts are not a problem! You will soon go from an overweight to normal BMI!
4 – Eat normally, calmly.
You hear it everywhere now: you have to eat mindfully. And it’s true, eating mindfully, without being disturbed by a phone call, television… allows you to reach satiety more quickly. The different messages sent between stomach, intestines and the brain are then well captured and our digestion goes much better.
5 – at lunch, protein and fat
To quit that overweight BMI, remember that breakfast and dinner will be mostly carbohydrate. Lunch will be mainly of the type protidolipidic. Through carbohydrate, by that mean a meal based on carbohydrates and proteins. By protein lipid, we are talking about a meal based on protein and the lipids, the fat.
6 – Phase 1: lose weight and quit overweight BMI
Phase 1 will last the entire weight loss period. All the while we are learning to get organized, To perare your meals, To plan meal plans and the races… We learn to rearrange your cupboards… The observed weight loss is 500 g to 1 kg per week. It varies depending on your age, gender and lifestyle.
7 – Phase 2: stabilization
The phase II, which is the phase of stabilization, must be followed for life, because it will allow you to become totally autonomous and keep your new good habits. Know that if your old eating habits and your old rhythm of life returns, the kilos who followed them they will also come back.
8 – regular physical activity
Having a physical activity does not mean “playing sports”! It is much simpler than that. To go upstairs, do 5/10 min of walk, garden… All of this is physical activity! And if you make a little effort on every moment of the day, you will see that you will be able to move twice more, without doing any sport!

10 – Talk to your dietician at any time
With application provided with the Montignac method, you can ask your dietician dietary questions via the dietetic messaging system. You will have a complete and prompt response to help you find a solution to any issues you may encounter.
One more thing, many of you like to weigh yourself several times a week. I advise you to weigh yourself once a week, on a regular basis and always under the same conditions. You will gradually find a normal BMI far from the overweight BMI!
This will give you a broader vision, over a week and it avoids the stressful strokes when from one day to the next 100 or 200 g are taken back, which is very common. Look at the food balance over a week, rather than a day.
Remember to also take your measurements because if the needle of the scale does not move, you can still refine yourself, centimeter by centimeter …
