    I started the Dukan diet on Monday after weighing myself and being 7lbs heavier than I though I was!!! Only lasted 2 1/2 days, although it does seem to have worked in that I no longer crave carbs like I did... now it is fruit which can never be a bad thing (except bananas, previous experience is never eat more than 1 banana a day).

    Think I will just go back to Weight watchers, it worked before so I am sure it will work again. Here's to everyone trying to lose weight to look truly amazing on their big day!

    The thing is with any 'fad' diet is that as soon as you eat normally again...all the weight goes back on plus more!...never a good idea, you have loads of time MrsRowan2be, cant you just reduce processed foods, eat more lean meat, veg and fruit and move a little bit more than you already do....its amzing how your body will respond...this is all i have done and have lost a whopping 5 stones in total......just under 3 since xmas just gone. x

We both struggled on it tho at some point! :0/ different diets work for different ppl! U don't know till u try! :0) xxxxx

    Wow that's amazing! I just cannot go without carbs! Tried to cut carbs and just can't do it!

    Apparently that's what Kate Middleton and her mum did pre-wedding ................goodness I want Kate Middleton's figure!

    i have tried every diet under the sun, ww, sw, atkins, tony ferguson etc etc, i have now gone to my local chemist which learns you how to healthy eat, each week they weigh me , take my blood pressure, check my bmi and take my waist measurments, and im so pleased that it was my first weigh in today and i have lost 4lb. xxx

    The dukan diet is very similar to atkins MrsShaw. I understand that in the first "attack" phase you cut out all carbs and fruit and veg but then slowly introduce fruit and veg back into your diet. I may have it wrong but that's my understanding of it.

    weemindy that is fantastic! Well done!

    My mentor done the dukan diet and got on really well with it, but then also heard some bad stuff about it as well.

    My mum did the dukan diet and loved it and lost loads of weight.... i am just about to start cambridge diet. I travel alot with work so drinking shakes when i am driving is perfect for me instead of living on convience food from supermarket but every diet is different for everyone xx
