Michel Montignac Recipes and Menus (Adapted for North America) by Lacombe, Isabelle, Montignac, Michel (1999) Paperback

I bought this book along with the "Slim Forever" book by Montignac. Changed my life and my family's. We've followed the plan for 7 weeks now and collectively have lost about 75 pounds. This is one diet that works and is a healthy life style change you can live with forever. The recipes are delicious and there's something for everyone. Ummmmmm Good!

The recipes in here are almost all simple to make and very tasty. The desserts were all surprisingly satisfying. I wouldn't say they were to die for, but this IS a diet, after all! We enjoyed the meals we fixed based on this book, and the weekly menus were very helpful. If you live in North America and are interested in the Montignac diet, definitely get this book and not the original cookbook! In the original, almost every recipe calls for ingredients that are not readily available here, but this North American adaptation uses mostly standard ingredients.

After reading the main book, by the same author, I really did not know what to prepare for meals. This book really helps. I lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks, and I really was cheating a bit. I'll keep going for a while because it's really easy and avoids the frustration that goes along with other diets.The rub is one needs to be able to fix the meals and that's a lot of work.

Having been on the Montignac Method for several months now, I went out and bought Montignac's Recipes and Menus book. The recipes are delicious and are geared to the program. They're also easy to prepare. I find it easy to stay on program with these recipes by being able to plan my meals in advance. I highly recommend this book.
