About to embark on Dukan...

[MattRutherford]

I've been using my Fitbit (Flex) for some time - and just bought and setup a set of Aria scales ahead of starting the Dukan diet on Monday. 

Has anyone tried Dukan? Any success stories or good recipes that you want to share? 

Is there a Dukan community on here that I cannot see? 

Aiming to lose 4st (56 pounds / 25 kilos) overall - will be very happy if I can achieve that.

Haven't tried his diet, but the guy is very controversial, to say the least (I happen to be French, like him, so I've followed the news about him). What made you choose this particular diet?

[MattRutherford]

Three reasons really:

1. I have a friend who very successfully lost weight on this diet, and has kept it off.

2. I think it suits my lifestyle - high protein, lots of meat and fish - is not far off my diet

3. I have read some good research which shows it works well for diabetics (I am type 2) - as the reduction in carbs has a positive effect.

I start today - so far so good.

One week into Dukan... have lost 10.7lbs in the first 7 days of the attack phase.

So far, so good - it's hard to condition yourself, and preparation is the absolute key to success on this.
