Montignac
The Montignac Method, introduced by Michel Montignac, prioritizes low Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL) foods to stabilize blood sugar and promote weight loss. It encourages eating lean proteins, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains while avoiding high-GI foods. Unlike Low GI or Atkins diets, it allows some high-GI foods if they have a low GL.

Montignac Method
The Montignac Method is a unique approach to dieting introduced by Frenchman Michel Montignac. This method focuses on the Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL) of foods, aiming to stabilize blood sugar levels and promote weight loss.
Followers of the Montignac Method believe that by choosing low-GI and low-GL foods, they can prevent spikes in blood sugar that trigger fat storage. They tend to eat lean proteins, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains while avoiding high-GI foods such as white bread, sugary foods, and certain types of fruits and vegetables.
Unlike the Low GI Diet, the Montignac Method goes a step further and considers not just the GI but also the GL of foods. GL takes into account both the GI of the food and the amount of carbohydrates it contains. Therefore, the Montignac Method can allow some high-GI foods, provided they have a low GL. This is a major distinction from other diets such as the Atkins or Keto diet, which restricts most high-GI and high-carb foods without considering their GL.
