I prefer NGR to Montignac/Zone because you don't have to worry about eating this with that or exact measuring. Like Spang said it is quite common sense - for weight loss go easy on the fat, do not go NO FAT, but ease off. Eat a lot of vegetables, eat a lot of pulses, eat low GI fruit. Eat food that will fill you up. There seems to be no push towards fake substitute products at all, basically don't let yourself go hungry and eat a lot of natural unrefined products.
For weight loss the lower the GI the better, but they do not suggest you eat only salad or green veg and tons of meat, but that if you want something high GI, like potatoes, that you only have a small amount and balance this by having a good portion of low GI with it...or better yet, instead of potatoes have something similar, like sweet potatoes, that has a lower GI.
The biggest bonus is pasta. Wholewheat pasta comes in with a GI of approximately 50 and is acceptable. I don't have it that often but when I do I love it and I don't feel deprived at all because nothing is totally off limits.
Except beer, I miss beer.
