Another diet fad? The Dukan Diet
Apr 21
How would like to eat anything you want, except for thursdays? What sounds too good to be true, has taken France by storm. Today, more than 1.5 million French women swear by its dramatic - and long-lasting - slimming results. Politicians, film stars and high-profile models, including Gisele Bundchen and Jennifer Lopez, live the Dukan life, all of them seduced by its promise of the ultimate dieters dream - permanent slenderness while eating what you like. Now this great French dietary secret is coming to Britain, with the launch next month of an English version of the Dukan Diet. The Dukan Diet is, in fact, four very different eating programmes that each follow on from the other. It starts with a dramatic and rapid weight loss, and leads on into a structured, but simple long-term, real-food regime that ensures you never regain the weight you’ve lost. The crucial element that links the four stages is the days spent eating nothing but protein. It may sound similar to Atkins, but the Dukan Diet is very different. Protein days are used for crucial strategic effect at each stage of the diet, and dieters are urged to stay clear of butter and oil that forms one of the mainstays of the Atkins regime. Have you tried it?
