Since launching his first book in 1986, he remains one of the foremost experts on the glycemic index. Over the last years, his nutritional recommendations have not only been scientifically proven but they have also inspired many other diet best selling books.For years, nutritionists have claimed that the only way to lose weight was to eat less, count calories and cut out fat.Four decades later, one must admit that low fat diets are a total failure. While energy consumption has decreased, obesity has multiplied by 400%.Inspired by Atkins, opinion leaders declared carbohydrates the real evil. These leaders then switched from one extreme to another recommending low carb diets. However, aside from a temporary weight loss, people subsequently suffered from cardiovascular problems by eating too much fat.This is why the Montignac Method is the only perfectly balanced diet. It suggests the right carbs and the right fats:Carbohydrates are chosen according to their GI (glycemic index). The lower the GI the most significant the weight loss!Fats are chosen on the cardio criteria knowing that some fats lower risks and even help weight loss.

Obesity is the number one killer in the United States and, increasingly, the world. It kills in silence and indirectly, standing as the root cause of a great many of the diseases treated by healthcare providers, including hyperlipidemia, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and malignant tumors, to name only a few. If any other epidemic had caused as many deaths as obesity and its comorbidities, the whole world would be diligently searching for a cure. Yet most healthcare providers take a surprisingly casual attitude toward obesity. In most cases, it is treated as a more or less benign condition easily dealt with if patients would only put forth some effort. This is to say that obesity is often treated as if it were the patient's fault, with healthcare providers frequently assuming that a patient's obesity is the result of poor dietary choices and sedentary lifestyle. The root cause of the obesity epidemic is neither explored nor serious weight loss treatment plans offered. Hormone Imbalance Syndrome (HIS):America's Silent Plague: Uncovering the Roots of the Obesity Epidemic and Most Common Diseases by Benoît Tano, M.D., Ph.D., uses the CDC obesity maps, the US Geological Survey pesticides/herbicides maps, and Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) hospital and Emergency Department (ED) discharges data, to explore the origins of the growing obesity epidemic in the US. Find out how pesticides/herbicides sprayed in farmlands and common household chemicals cause endocrine disruption(hormone imbalance) that leads to obesity and its comorbidities. This book, drawn from Dr. Tano's research and clinical experience as an allergist and integrated health care practitioner, reveals the mechanisms behind the growing obesity epidemic and what to do about it.
