Do a google search, heaps of site that explain how it works, I know all of you guys know this basic info, but I was on Youtube and found some videos of Dr. Dukan explaining the diet.

Hey all, So I've come to the end of my four week journey - and what a journey I've been high, low, good days, bad days, but I've been consistent.
