Dukan Diet - www.dukandiet.co.uk

I first went on the Dukan diet a couple of years ago and I have to say it is the best diet that I have found.

This diet works in 4 phases, attack, cruise, consolidation and stabilisation.

I'm going to be honest, the attack phase requires a lot of willpower! The first phase is a few days - a week of eating pure protein. This can be a little boring and, as your body is detoxing itself of the sugar and other junk, you can feel a bit rubbish. Getting on the scales and seeing that I'd lost 8lb in the first week was enough motivation for me to stick with it though!

The second phase is a lot easier, you alternate pure protein days with protein and veg days. You continue on this phase until you've reached your target weight. This is where you can get a bit more creative with your meals and it's even possible to create your own desserts!

The third phase is when things start to be less diety and you can start getting back to some kind of normality. You can add in daily portions of bread, rice, cheese, etc as well as 2 celebration meals a week (basically any dinner you want - with dessert!). You stay on this phase 5 days for every 1lb you've lost in the second phase.

The final phase is where you get back to normality. Now that you've developed healthier eating habits you can continue them with just one pure protein day a week.

I like the amount of exercise on this diet - just 20 minutes of walking per day. Even at my starting weight this wasn't a struggle for me.

In total I lost nearly 5 stone and it took me just over a year. Many people have seen how much weight I lost and went on the Dukan diet too with the same amazing results.

If you're looking for a diet that works, ignore the ignorant people that say this diet is bad and give it a try.

This diet is amazing and really works by eating real food. It is not a quick easy fix diet but one that teaches you how to cook your favourite recipes in a healthy way to help you lose weight. I have lost a total of 3 stone on this diet and can honestly say that it is one of the easiest diets I have ever done and will definitely be the last diet that I ever do as I am 100% confident that the weight will stay off. I enrolled on the internet as I needed some support. The daily motivational tips are really good for me and have helped to get my mind right about my food. There are lots of recipes available on the website together with exercises which you can choose to do if you want to. There is email support there if you need it and a forum that you can click on for advice. The diet is very easy to follow and is easy to do when you are away from home as well. I have been on holiday and a couple of weekends away whilst dieting and still managed to eat well and lose weight. I don't really view this as being a diet but more a lesson in teaching me how to eat the foods that I love, lose weight and keep the weight off. I have not felt deprived of anything at all. I can happily go out to a restaurant like a Toby Carvery and fill my plate up with lots of meat and veg and know that I am not cheating which is great.

day after day, pound after pound, I succeed like promised, without hanger great and I keep my True weight easily
