Michel Montignac Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 26, 2010.
PARIS (AP) — A French official says French diet guru Michel Montignac, whose "glycemic index" weight-loss books sold millions of copies, has died.

The official at the City Hall of Annemasse, in eastern France, said Montignac died on Sunday at a clinic there. The official declined to provide her name because she was not authorized to speak to the media. The cause of death was not immediately known.

The Dauphine Libere newspaper, which also reported the death, said he was 66.

Montignac, who had long struggled with his weight, devised his own diet and after four months on it, he shed 28 pounds.

Starting in the 1980s, Montignac authored several books explaining his method. According to his Web site, his books were translated into 25 languages and published in 42 countries.

To the family of Mr. Michel Montignac:

It will be impossible for me to forget the strong positive influence Michel Montignac had on my life. Though experts and various critics may dispute his work, I succeeded in permanently improving my health and vitality over a 20-year period by following his advice.

To the family of Mr. Montignac: Please accept my condolences also. Words of comfort can be of great comfort to those who have loss someone in death especially when the person is as young as your loved one. The one I loss was even younger and so I know the pain. However, I received a lot of comfort from the scriptures, some of which are mentioned in your letters of condolences. Please take to heart what these verses are saying to you and then you too can find the comfort that I did.

To the Montignac family:
May the comfort from family and friends continue to strengthen you, and may you find comfort in the words found in the Holy Scriptures: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

May the wonderful memories of your loved one continue to provide a measure of comfort to you--until God's promises are fulfilled. Matthew 5:5; Psalms 37:11, 29
