It's time to face facts. Low-fat diets don't work. Thousands of dieters on low-fat, high-carbohydrate regimes gain back their weight and more. Why? Because the culprit isn't too much fat, it's too much sugar—and low-fat food is full of it. In truth, sugar causes the production of insulin, which in large amounts, prevents weight loss. Just look at the ingredients on your favorite foods: sugar is everywhere. So how can you possibly avoid it? This revolutionary new diet plan based on sound nutritional principles steers you away from insulin-stimulating foods such as potatoes and pasta—and leads you toward a sensible consumption of delicious foods such as red meat and red wine, once considered taboo. Simple, practical and easy to adapt to your busy lifestyle, it includes a 14-day meal plan and easy to create gourmet recipes.

Highly successful French food writer takes aim at calorie myth, and teaches how to lose weight while enjoying abundant food the gourmet way.

This is the Dutch language ladies edition of the runaway bestselling book, "Eat Yourself Slim", written by Michel Montignac, creator of the Montignac method of weight loss.
