So I gave it a lot of thought, and I have decided to go on the Dukan Diet (I read the book and everything). I don't include any organ or red meats in my diet. Its just white meats, seafood, and soy. Has anyone had any previous experiences with the Dukan Diet? I would love some advice or feedback from your experiences.

Also, in relation to the Dukan Diet, does anyone know of any acceptable 0% fat, 0 added sugar yogurt brands that I can allow in my Attack Phase of the diet?

    I'd stay away from any of these so called diet plans.

    my sister was actually explaining the diet to me the other day. her and her boyfriend just started. I'll definitely let you know how they do/if it actually worked for them. best of luck!!

    Agreed. Calories in, calories out.. proper nutrition and exercise.

    Look for Fage yogurt.
    We don't have it here in Canada but I always hear from US people how great it is.

    I haven't read the book, but does show any actual research for it? There's a lot of garbage nutrition/diet info out there, so I only read research papers on it. Hopefully you're well informed with actual research and the complete picture of things, that's all...

    Me and my husband are actually on day 4 of the Attack phase! We use the Fage Greek Yogurt for our recipes and stuff, but don't eat yogurt otherwise. Dukan has a facebook page that helps us Americans find products that we can use. Just search for "Dukan Diet - US" and you should find it.

    My husband and I are tracking our progress by blogging at http://thinnerserved.blogpost.com if you wanna see how it's going for us so far. I've lost 7.6 pounds and he's lost 9.2 in 3 days of the attack phase. Don't expect that kind of weight loss after the attack phase, but I'm enjoying this phase as much as I can. It is so encouraging to see those numbers fall.

    My biggest tip is to watch your sodium intake. it's easy to let it get away from you.

    I've been on Dukan for the past 4 month (joined this site 3mo ago) and I can guarantee that it works wonders!

    About yogurt, I've come to love Kroger's Carbmaster vanilla yogurt. It's got zero sugar and only 4g of carbs, which is a real treat at any phase of the program!
