Dukan Diet

thats Exactly my question right now! lets see what people here have to say about it!

I know three people who have tried it. The first lost a significant amount of weight but has since gained it all back and more. The second lost a lot of weight and so far seems to be keeping it off by following the weekly "protein only" days.

The third is me! I hated it, felt sick all the time and gave up after four days. It involved eating so much meat!! I can no longer even look at cold chicken and I've gone off prawns too since doing the Dukan diet. I think you need to be very committed and ideally eat most of your meals at home, as it's pretty difficult to eat out or even make a packed lunch which only includes the right foods.

For me, it was way too restrictive and all-or-nothing, and I didn't like the side effects (no energy, feeling sick and tired, plus some other even worse effects which I won't go into here!) so I won't be trying it again. That's not to say it wouldn't work for others, but I personally wouldn't recommend it.

Hi. I did in last April as my brother was getting married and I needed to fit into my dress. I thought it was fine but very restrictive and you really need to plan your meals. I lot 10 pounds in about 20 days and have put some back on...but that's becuase I love cheese, bread and red wine! I think it's good for short term things and I still eat the breakfast of fat free yogurt and oatbran most days. Basically, cutting out carbs and fat if the long term goal and Dukan helps give you a push start.

My friend did it, she lost weight then gained it all back. Just another faddy Atkins style diet I guess. Ok for short term but not sustainable.
