Experience has no ethical value. It is only the title that people give to their mistakes

Oscar Wilde

I'm sure most of you are familiar with the most popular diet – the nutritional system of the American cardiologist Dr. Robert Atkins. The equivalent of this diet in Europe is known as the French diet of Michelle Montignac. Both have caused a great furor and have many followers in both the U.S. and Europe and even restaurants have menus based on their systems. Their unique program includes eating the right carbohydrates and right fats and is based on the glycemic index of foods. Montignac himself managed to lose 35 lbs for three months with his own method. This diet may have helped many of you to reach your target weight, but it didn’t have a productive effect on me. Nevertheless, it gave me good knowledge of how the glycemic index of foods affects blood sugar levels.
