Jean-Michel Cohen (22 May 1959) is a French nutritionist and author.
Cohen received his M.D and Ph.D in nutrition from the Paris Diderot University in 1983, after which he worked as a nutritional consultant for a research laboratory from 1982-1986. In 1986, he founded one of the first poly-disciplinary consultation centers in the Paris region.
He wrote his first book, Savoir Maigrir (Know How to Lose Weight), published by Groupe Flammarion, in 2002. In 2004, Cohen was awarded the French National Order of Merit for his contributions in implementing a nutritional label system in France. In 2007, Savoir Maigrir was adapted as an online weight loss coaching program. In 2011, Cohen critiqued the Dukan Diet, saying that the low-carb diet was dangerous and could lead to long-term problems.[1] Pierre Dukan, the diet's founder, sued Cohen for libel, but lost the case.[2] In 2012, Cohen released his first book in English, The Parisian Diet: How to Reach Your Right Weight and Stay There, along with its online version.[3]
Cohen frequently appears on TV shows in France as a nutrition expert. He is married to Myriam Cohen, and together, they have three children.
