If you do or are considering it, then you may want to consider it more closely.

This is a pretty hot diet right now, I don't have any personal experience with it but I'm curious to see if it has been effective for other people.

Dukan Diet takes a high protein, low fat, low cholesterol approach to weight loss. It encourages gradual weight loss, healthy eating habits, and an active lifestyle.Dukan Diet is the numnber Diet in France. More than 10 million French people have trusted it, So I guest The "Du" is very effective.

Dukan Diet takes a high protein, low fat, low cholesterol approach to weight loss.

I'm not sure if you read the linked article, but It says the diet is "High Fat" and does not limit Salt. I'm not being rude I'm just reiterating two salient points .

I'm not to bothered how many French people do that diet, they eat Snails and Frogs Legs and drive like lunatics, I've seen them drive like that, so it's potentially the sort of misguided diet they might just eat.

It should renamed the Don't Dukan Diet.

In all honesty, it's effectiveness is still questionable how ever many people do it, especially when you consider how many people might actually stick at it longer than 8 weeks, concluding it is actually worth it. That's the real crux. plenty may do it, but plenty may drop out if they feel it doesn't help them

The effectiveness of any lifestyle change, depends on longevity or sustaining of change, what you could call "gross participation" as opposed to "net participation", I.E the overall number of people that try a lifestyle change, versus the number that actually stick to it, after a pre-defined initial period.

I mean loads of people take Fat Burners, but when you eat properly and exercise well, how many of those products are "effective"? Probably none, because they're all crap and their poor ability to help people lose weight, is masked by better lifestyle habits.

Dukan to me is a bad diet and not acceptable enough and also it's piopularit would also depnd on the number of other diet systems available. If France didn't cater for things like Weight Watches, Zone, South Beach etc, most people who might do those of they could, would logically do something else as opposed to just plodding along themselves.

Though I cannot say for certain how many different diet systems / plans the French promote, as opposed to the U.S or Britain as I just don't know.

Again not being rude saying all this, just trying to be honest .
