Dietary food is a special method of treatmentmany diseases. Considering the healing effect of this method, it was also used to treat obesity, the main disease of mankind at the end of the twentieth century and at the beginning of the present century.

However, in a series of diets of questionable authorship, there are many diets from professionals. For example, the French diet. This diet or the French food system was developed by Madeleine Gest, a dietician, psychologist and psychotherapist. That is, it's a diet from a professional who is practically harmless to health.

Throughout the world Madeleine Gesta is known primarily as the author of the popular French diet, although in fact she belongs to the authorship of not one but several methods of losing weight. The principle of all his techniques Madeleine Gesta considers not so much the restriction in food as the total exclusion from the menu of pure sugar and salt. Weight accumulation occurs due to deficiency of fats and sugars at a sufficient number of microelements and vitamins. Initially, the French diet was developed specifically for stars who want to get rid of extra pounds in a short period of time. Among the patients Madeleine Gesta Gerard Depardieu, known for his predisposition to excess weight and excessive gastronomic predilections. It was thanks to the French diet that Depardieu had the opportunity, in short lines, to enter into a more or less decent form for participation in filming.
