Hi everyone! After reading through a few posts and seeing the success some others have had, I decided to check this out.
The Dukan diet totally seems doable to me, but I just have a few questions.
Are protein shakes allowed? I realize the basic guidelines to the attack phase - protein, and only protein. But what about a protein shake? The ones I use are the EAS Carb advantage, and after looking at the label, I noticed they have 0 sugars and 3g of Carbs. Is this acceptable or is the idea absolutely NO carbs?
Thanks for your input!

Also, where would I find Oat Bran at Walmart? I've never noticed it, however I've never looked.
And do you take a multi-vitamin? Would taking a multi-vitamin have any effect on the success of this diet?0 -
Hello!
I am by no means an expert but I would say no to protein shakes. His book specifically says if it isn't listed it is an automatic no no. Also, the book says you can take a multi vitamin if you want to!
I hope that helps! I am in day 2 of the attack phase and am trying to stay motivated! Let me know hoe you do!0 -

Yes, I did calculate my TW online. I will definitely look into the book! Thanks a lot!

I had trouble finding the Oat Bran in WalMart. I was told it should be in the aisle with the cereal. I ended up ordering mine off of Amazon.com for really cheap.0

I am in week 2 of the cruise phase. I found that it took me a little while to get into the swing of it after the attack phase, but I have struck a groove, and things are feeling good! I guess it was tricky with last week being the week leading up to my period...lots of cravings and a few cheats. I am clean and being good this week! I am enjoying the diet, and seeing progress!
Best of luck to everyone! The book is really good to have

If you have kindle or the kindle app you can download the book pretty quick there. Also I find the book a little outdated and was already using protein shakes and I have been continuing to use mine and I am still seeing results (lost half a stone in my first attack phase which lasted four days) so to be honest you could try it and see how it works for you
goodluck!

The oat bran at walmart is in the organic area with the gluten free stuff. It's made by red mill0
