    If you have to suffer to lose weight, then it's not sustainable or right for you. Instead of the Dukan Diet, why not just try eating at a deficit using MFP's numbers?
    I tried Dukan and it was great for my IBS symptoms. ..I am no longer having any bloating or abdominal cramps but it was by coincidence. ...once I started it and I felt more comforrable..but after some time I am craving bread..rice and pasta alottt..so I was looking for some friends who follow Dukan and ask if I can have somee carbs ....I am now on calorie deficit diet but I am thinking about going back to Dukan

    Dukun = suffer. I slight calorie deficit is much easier. Come on, you can do this! Don't suffer!

    if you have IBS issues (like I do) it's really worth looking into all the research on FODMAPS....Monash Uni in Australia are the main researchers /http://med.monash.edu/cecs/gastro/fodmap/

    I did Dukan after putting on weight after a car accident, lost a stone in 10 days. Wouldn't do it again, I had dizzy spells and light headiness. This time I'm doing it through gym and calorie counting.

    I saw the Dukan diet book at the thrift store yesterday, along with a few other crash diet books. Funny how I can't find useful books like You Are Your Own Gym at second hand shops.

    Isn't losing a stone with 10 days a great thing and a marvelous feeling?
    Does it worth and get of these extra pounds so quickly?

    No.

    I didn't do a specific diet, but I ate very little for too long. I lost a lot of hair, my period, more muscle mass than i would like, and felt like crap so damn often. I'm currently trying to lose a pound a week and hate thinking about my loss prior. I'd gladly take things slowly if I could go back in time.

    You r right if this was the case...losing weight on the expense of other beautiful things doesn't worth it at all.
    Good luck
