Hiya

So I've started the dukan diet and I was wondering whether anyone has actually successfully completed the dukan diet and if so, have they managed to maintain their weightloss???

I've heard negative things about this diet such as it having a 'yo-yo' effect, I.e. you lose weight and then gain it all back, if not more once you get into your normal eating habits!

So pleeeeease do post your experiences here. Thank you :)

    Hello Shazy83,
    I am on Dukan right now & doing great!
    I started last May & lost 30 lbs. from May to Aug.
    Hubby & I went on a cruise in Sept.~but I was careful & only gained 3 lbs.
    Oct. -Jan. I just counted calories on MFP~lost the three I gained & 3 more~

    Feb. 1~ I started the Attack phase again with Dukan~I have lost 6 lbs. (total of 38lbs)& feel great! I am NOT hungry~
    I take a GNC vitapak~
    I am also exercising with Gazelle, a treadmill, Zumba & Hip Hop Abs DVD's~
    I actually go out to eat & find enough to eat while on this diet~

    *The key is when u lose the weight u do the consolidation Phase & add back other foods~
    Then maintenance with the Permanent Stabilization Phase.

    I think people have problems gaining it back, when they finish low carb & just start eating again without working into it~

    Friend me if u want a Dukan buddy~ ;0)

    I have a high school reunion coming up this summer and I would like to lose another 20lbs. by then.
