I started the Dukan Diet on May 13, 2012. A friend of mine mentioned it to me and I checked out the web site, and started right away. I found the diet very easy to follow, and the exercises at the beginning were easy enough to do. Writing this on August 21, 2012, just four months later, I am down nearly 25kgs (57 lbs) on my way to reaching my goal of 27.8kgs (61lbs) to get to my True Weight. I have exercised all but one day since May 13, followed the diet very closely, and I have seen the results! I am nearing the end of the cruise phase and about to enter consolidation. I am excited to begin the next phase and move closer to permanent stabilization!
My favorite support Dukan food: Tomatoes
My Dukan treat: greek yogurt with cinnamon and splenda
My favorite form of exercise: elliptical trainer with great music!
The nicest compliment I’ve been paid: « You are an inspiration to others! » (coworkers)
What keeps me going: The idea that this diet is going to stop the yo-yo diet effect I have done my whole life!
The advice I’d give to other « Dukanians »: Keep the « big picture » in mind. During Cruise, your weight will fluctuate a bit, but it will always end up going down once you get back into pure protein days. Subscribe to the web site to make yourself accountable every day!
