FAQ on the Montignac Method
Question 64
I adore Asian cooking. What Asian dishes can I eat and still stick to the diet?
Answer
Japanese cuisine is a good choice. Sushi are a good choice, even if they have a 55 GI, they contain raw fish (Omega 3 and often seaweed). They should be eaten within the framework of a balanced Japanese-style diet: with seaweed in order to lower the meal’s Glycemic load, which rice tends to increase. If you do not plan to accompany this meal with seaweed, better try eating sashimi.
Soy sauce is acceptable but you should pay attention to the brand name. Products sold in supermarkets generally contain modified starches and other sugars.
Chinese cooking is not compatible with the Montignac Method since it is generally excessively high in saturated fats (hard to digest fried foods) a well as sugar.
