4.0 out of 5 stars Nice to have some recipes, October 21, 2006

By	Lora Friedenthal (Ringoes, NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've gotten other Montignac books, like The French Diet, and it's really nice to get some more recipes in this newest book. He seems to alter his presentation of the diet with each new book. Now the phases of the diet have different names. But the actual plan seems to be the same, so anyone that has picked up the The French Diet will be familiar with what's in here.

Mostly I got this book for the recipes to use with Somersizing. I think most of the ones in here will be Level 2 for Somersizers, but they are pretty tasty looking! I can't wait until I get to make use of them!

The only thing that would be better would be if Montignac would collect all of his recipes from all of his books and put out just a cookbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars a very good way of eating, January 9, 2007

By	R. Maris - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's not a diet, it's just a way of eating healthy. I've been following Montignac principles for almost a year and I feel very good and I'm also happy about my weight. I totally recommand this to everybody.

5.0 out of 5 stars A diet that WORKS, March 3, 2008

By	Grandma Sherrie (California) - See all my reviews

I read this in one evening and put my whole family on it the next day. The Montignac cookbook was a must, giving a good variety of menus and ideas of what works. Too bad its hard to find but worth the effort. My whole family are loosers! After 7 weeks we collectively have lost almost 75 pounds and counting. Not only are the recipes good but something you can live with forever. A real lifestyle change, especially for diabetics (two of us are diabetic, the others trying to avoid it).
