The Montignac Method is not a diet in the conventional sense. A diet is usually understood to be a nutritional method based on limited quantities for a specified time. The Montignac Method is all about making a lifestyle change toward a balanced way of eating.

The Method encourages you to love eating all the more! And what better way to do so than by indulging in the pleasures of the highly appreciated Italian cuisine. Known for its health benefits, Italian cuisine features simple and natural ingredients such as tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, vegetables and whole grains.

In response to a growing demand for Italian recipes, Suzy Montignac has adapted fifty-six recipes with which you will be able to shed extra weight without giving up the pleasures of eating.

All the recipes in this book are for the weight loss stage: they represent filling portions and the explanations are simple, practical and complete with preparation times and illustrations.
