No.

I just looked it up and it sounds like another fad diet just from the fact that the research proved alot of his stuff wrong.

The first principle is to overcome conditioning arising from misguided messages which tell us that calories are what make us gain weight. This belief, despite its proven failure is unfortunately still widespread and preached by many dieticians.

The second principle seems to be make feeding yourself as inconvenient and complicated as possible. How do proteins even complement each other what the tamale

All I know is, I have lost 58 pounds eating the same stuff I've always eaten (except more vegetables and fewer carbs). That comes down to calories, since I've never kicked sugar and chips.

Looks like a glycemic index based diet plan with a lot of product around it (i.e. you can follow the plan but they'll tell you that you really need to buy their books, foods, etc make it work).

In the end, it all still comes down to how much you eat vs. how much you burn. The rest is handwaving to make it complicated enough that you feel you need their help to do it.

Google is your friend.

And common sense is a very close second.

This, for example is almost complete BS:
"Proteins should be chosen on the basis of their (vegetable or animal) origin, depending on how they
complement each other and on if they make our bodies react by gaining weight (hyperinsulinism)."

I think that their idea of 'complementing each other' means that they want you to eat all the proteins
(amino acids) at every meal, instead of the more normal, balanced, and accepted way of getting them
all in the course of a day or several days. And they don't make you gain weight unless you have too much.

And "hyperinsulinism" does not mean "gaining weight". It simply means that you have too much insulin...
Which protein has little effect on.

And it has little effect on gaining weight, unless you're eating too many calories of it... which is another
piece of their BS.
"contrary to what most nutritionists sustain, there is no correlation between obesity and calories"

BTW, here's PubMed, where you can look at research (you know, science?).
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed

Looks like most of the studies which actually look at the 'Montignac method' are in Dutch.
