We are here to help you see more clearly.
The anti-diet
The word diet always means going without, and being forbidden things.
Dieting implies that sooner or later
certain foods must go. And at the same time you weigh, you count the
calories, you take less pleasure in eating — all of it for as long as the
diet lasts. A diet is therefore a period of restriction, generally
a hard one to live through.
With the Food Monad, nothing is forbidden. No food will be
taken out of what you eat. Your programme unfolds gently
while you move step by step towards your target weight.

Monade alimentaire : L'anti-régime
Le mot régime est toujours synonyme de privation et d'interdiction. Faire un régime sous-entend qu'il faudra à un moment ou à un autre supprimer certains aliments. Et dans le même temps peser, compter les calories, se faire moins plaisir, et tout cela pendant le temps du régime. Un régime est donc une période de restrictions généralement difficile à vivre.

How did the Food Monad come about?
The Food Monad
In my daily practice I had long noticed a link between excess weight and the often earlier onset of several illnesses: type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sometimes cardiovascular conditions, metabolic syndrome, sleep apnoea, certain forms of osteoarthritis.
At the same time, on a personal level, I had put on a few kilos myself. That slight excess weight prompted me to look for a way back to my former weight.
And so I came up with a small formula that struck me as rather original — and which, on top of being original, proved effective, since it allowed me to lose in just a few weeks the 7 to 8 kg I reckoned I was carrying in excess. But it remained an entirely personal experiment.
This is where the story of the Food Monad really begins, and where it becomes interesting. In December 2016 I visited one of my patients at home, Mrs F, who had had type 2 diabetes for about ten years, 98 kg for 1.70 m. She was worried to see her diabetes completely unstable despite the three medicines she was taking at maximum doses.
Sensing her distress, I spent some twenty minutes explaining how to reduce her excess weight, based on the formula I had just used on myself. At the same time I told her that if that weight loss reached 10 kg and she held it, she would stabilise her diabetes for several years.
When I saw her again a few months later, for a repeat prescription, I had completely forgotten the advice I had given her. And just as I was about to ask her about the weight loss I had noticed, I saw her face light up with a smile and she said: “Doctor, you see, it worked; I did as you told me.”
I then remembered my explanations. A few days later I quickly checked her glycated haemoglobin; it had fallen to 7.8 %, a drop of around 3 %.
I sensed that what I had until then called « my formula » might be useful to other people. I should add that this patient, who had just lost 12 kg in three months, went on to lose 28 kg in all in a little under a year. I should also add that she achieved this on my spoken explanations alone, with no further help and no follow-up whatsoever! Which seemed to me quite remarkable.
It is from that moment that my process really began to exist. A few weeks later, having put together a short video presentation, I gathered a dozen overweight patients in my waiting room one evening. I had promised them that by following my instructions, every one of them could shed several of their surplus kilos.
The results were immediately encouraging. Other groups followed. Every participant without exception lost weight, and 90 % of them managed without difficulty, according to the goal they had set, to shed 10, 15, 20 or 25 kg.
I then wrote a book of some fifty pages, explaining the process and how to use it. At first I followed my patients by email, using Excel files.
Later I built a website on which they could go through their whole programme online. The site took shape and grew over the months to become what it is today.
