Hi there,
I am in the process of checking out the Montignac Method.
Red Wine and Chocolate are allowable as long as you follow the rules for them. The wine at level 1 (weight loss stage) is really discouraged and if taken should be kept to 1 small glass - toward the end of the meal - not on empty stomache- At a later stage of the diet more wine is permitted.
The Chocolate, is dependant on the sugar content of the cocoa and the details are in the book - I havent checked out that part yet.
The whole method seems quite complex at first but the more I pore through the book the simpler it becomes. Its based on consuming whole unrefined carbs, protein and less fat than atkins. The carbs are measured not so much by carb count but by their scale on the glycmic index.
I wouldn't get over excited about the red wine and chocolate though - it's not really encouraged in the weight loss stage and his advice about it is a bit silly - if given a drink in a social situation - wet your lips and pretend you are drinking!!!!! - dump it in a planter!!!! oh cmon now- as for desserts - we are to push them around the plate - That didn't work when I tried to fool my parents into thinking I'd eaten my fish when I was a kid -
But if you can stick to one glass and find the right kind of chocolate - he has recipes for making things with it - then it is allowed.
