    I'm doing Atkins but not Dukan - I read it over and it seemed too restrictive for me.

    Congrats to both of you on the losses so far!

    I have the book but am still losing just by eating sensibly so until I get stuck I don't plan on starting it....

    to be honest its very different to atkins, especially in the sense of fats etc. fats are not something you will find within the dukan method. whereas they are highly recommended in atkins.
    Overall i feel the dukan method is a healthier alternative and one that i have got on brilliantly with so far. but obviously it all depends on the person.
    I especially think the main advantage of dukan is the consolidation and stabilisation phrases, as they provide you a healthy basis to ensure weight lose is maintained while reintroduction carbs and higher fat foods.

    I'll be honest - those 2 phases really confused me when I read about the diet. I'm sure if I took the time to re-read it, I'll get it but I didn't want to head into a plan not fully understanding it.

    And yes, you're right - it's VERY different from Atkins in terms of fat consumption. It reminds me of the Stillman diet from the 70s - that was a low fat/low carb plan.

    I'm for whatever works for a person :)
