Review
Summary |
The Michel Montignac Weight Loss Clinic is advertised as a weight loss program that includes gourmet foods by Chef Michel Montignac. Through claims of using the glycemic index this 8-phase program includes recipes that are said to provide for various types of individuals, including those with health issues.
Along with recipes the Montignac method is also said to be educational within the nutritional aspects of each client’s individual goals. The Montignac Weight Loss Clinic claims to allow weight loss goals through “learning how to maintain weight during each phase and through the dietitian and nutritionist created menus and suggested recipes”.

| Concept |
|
Through 8 phases that begin with detailed information given by those who want to lose the weight and personal health information a 7-day menu is given along with an evaluation chart of your projected weight loss plan. Phase-2 includes an illustrated weight loss chart and additional 7-day menu to follow. Recipe maintenance may also be applied for those who are having problems with the suggested meals.
Phases 3 through 8 provide recipe suggestions for the rest of the remaining weeks and the weight chart is used to graph any weight loss that has been achieved. In Phase 8 an evaluation of the chart and weight loss reality is discussed. There are four other Phases for those who require further weight loss assistance or for those that haven't reached their goals.

| Diet Lifestyle |
|
The Montignac Method claims to provide three major services to each client: rapid weight loss, weight stabilization and an opportunity to rediscover vitality.
The program's website remains elusive about many aspects of the program and may not be for those who are looking for a modern and personal touch. The consultations and guidance that are mentioned with each phase seem to be through online communication and not through an actual personal presence.
There is no mention of exercise or other healthy lifestyle habits that come with many other weight loss plans on the Montignac Weight Loss center website. Physical activity is not the focus, but instead recipes and menu's that follow the glycemic index seem to be instead.

| Final Thoughts |
|
Most online dietary plans consist of exercise tips and recipes and some even provide meals for their clients. Montignac does not. For a relatively high price one can only receive recipes that are supposed to help you achieve your weight goals in 8 weeks. There are no upfront and personal dietitians to speak with, but online recipes and consultations are provided.
An active lifestyle is not recommended on the website and for those who are active; the meal plans may not provide enough energy.
Furthermore, Montignac only provides Lunch and Dinner recipes for the price of $13.95 per month and $149.95 per year. This may leave room for immediate failure with this diet plan because a glycemic index breakfast meal plan may not be followed with breakfast meals.
Online diet plans are in abundance and many of them provide workout plans, contact information and some even have upfront and personal consultations for the first few visits. With a range of offerings that may include prepared meals and other benefits it may be wise to compare what you need out of a program against what the program offers.
