The Dukan Diet

My sister bought the book and tried it and only lasted 4 days before becoming a starving angry person whose family begged her to eat some carbs again.

Ha ha! I heard that from another similar post, too.

The only way to go is to count the calories and learn to eat sensible and exercise. I still eat what I like just less of it and I also have added foods I use to ignore. You go on a diet like that and you will lose but you better stay on it or boom you get it all back and quick!

I was on it and did lose. Then I hit a plateau and was losing inches but very little weight. Of course, I am over 60 and I know my metabolism has slowed d o w n !!!! I didn't have the book but just went on line and got all the info I needed. The one thing I love about low carb diets is that you don't have cravings like normal. Basically the first phase is just meat, cheese, eggs for 2 weeks. Then you add veggies with an alternate pattern of the meat phase every other day. You should also eat some oat bran, which is much like oatmeal, to keep you regular! Hope this helps.
