Looking for Dukan dieters

Hiya, I have lost 10kg on the Dukan Diet. Yes it is a fairly hard diet but I am one of those people who, given an inch, will take a mile.
So rather than being allowed '2 squares of chocolate' (e.g. Weight Watchers) I would then proceed to eat 20 squares! So the Dukan Diet worked for me because there is no lee-way and I know I can't have ANY. 'All or nothing'!
I feel there's little risk of over-indulging.

Also as the first phase (Attack) has quick results, it keeps me motivated to continue.

Others may disagree but it works for me!

Carol - I had a hard time finding any free sites that really truly explain it in detail. I was lucky in that someone at work had copied the book and left it on the copier - no one would admit to it, LOL - so I ended up with a free copy of the book.

I did find a cheap iPhone app called "iDukan" that I got for like $2.99, if you have an iPhone or an iPod touch.

In a nutshell, there are 4 phases in Dukan - Attack, Cruise, Consolidation, Stabilization.

Attack - is short, 1-10 days, pure protein diet.
Cruise - long, this is the main weight loss phase - alternating pure protein days with protein/veggie days.
Consolidation - length varies by how much weight you have lost, where you continueu Cruise diet, but slowly add things back in, like fruit, bread/grains, cheese, 2 "celebration meals" each week, 1 day each week of pure protein to keep on track
Stabilization - pretty much eat what you want, with 1 day each week of pure protein only to keep on track - this is what you follow the rest of your life.

These are pretty short explanations, if you want more information, PM me.

HI - I have just heard about this and would like to start it (within next 7 days)... any help would be awesome. There doesn't seem to be a lot online about it but I have found a few sites where there are recipes provided.

Good luck to all. I think I like the fact that its very specific - eat this and not this...

Hi, Starryk - In case you haven't looked that far - there is a Dukan Dieters Group on MFP - and I recently put up a post called "Dukan Diet in a Nutshell" that might help you. Check out the group at:

Hi all ! I am on day 2 of attack stuck to it rigidly . But so bored a d craving apples soooooo much . Feeling light headed and so grumpy . My body is in shock from no sugar ( I normally eat way to much )
Any other tips , advice on how to stick with this please say hi !?
What do people think of the galette ? My employer eats one every single day and has done for years ! Looking forward to a reply xx

I've just started my dukan journey I've just finished day 3 of attack, and got 2 days to go! I'm thinking I might weigh in at the end of all 5 days so that I don't get disappointed if the scales haven't moved! I'm quite looking forward to being able to eat veg again! I've been massively missing tomatoes in particular, I normally have them all the time so I've found it difficult not having them, especially as I did a big shop and bought some, so they're sitting in the drawer of my fridge waiting for Wednesday to come along!
