    I've only heard bad things about it. It's not healthy or sustainable..you'll lose the weight quick and then eventually gain it all back if not more.

    I've been contemplating it. I have approximately only 10 to lose, but thought that might be something new to try to keep me motivated.

    The Dukan Diet was named one of the 5 worst diets of 2011 by the British Dietetic Association. There is NO research to back up any of their claims and, personally, I find a protein only diet (the first phase) to be more than a little scary. You can actually get really sick eating only protein; your liver can't process more than 200-300 grams of protein a day.

    Dukan is advertising itself as the "French Atkins". If you want to follow that type of plan, I think you'd be better off looking into the REAL Atkins plan, which has been around for over 30 years and has a ton of scientific research to back it up.
