atkins vs dukan

[TricityBendixx]

hello.
apologies if this has been covered before.
i have tried the attack phase of dukan but only half heartedly, but did lose some weight. i've been put off doing the atkins because i assume all that cheese and fat would make me feel yuk. i am fully convinced by the low carb argument though!

can anyone explain why atkins (high fat, high protein, low carb) is deemed more effective than dukan (LOW fat, high proten, low carb)

it seems obvious to me that the combination of low carb AND low fat would be better, but apparently there is some clever scientific reason behind the protein/ fat magic thing!

thanks in advance

Hi!

There is indeed but I'll be rubbish at explaining it...when am on laptop will send u a link to the simple explanation of it rather than the ott one!! Be later on today probably.

I was doing this before fell pregnant did really well at it too. Although the attack phase saw me lose weight fairly quickly I lost weight steadily afterwards so was much easier to sustain. I plan to get back on it after birth and breastfeeding.

Have u been taking the oat bran? Its really important to follow dukan correctly especially in the attack phase otherwise u won't get the good effects of it. Do u have the book?

The only downside was that I lived off chicken when doing this deist...I like chicken and it's cheap BUT since being pregnant (I'm now18weeks) I can't even think about eating it!

Water intake, oat bran and strict following of this diet are a must. I liked it.

Ps did catkins before lost weight on that but I put it all on after stopping and felt awful doing it plus the fat level cannot be right.

I felt brilliant after first few days of dukan. I came off it for holidays and even tho was all inclusive I didn't balloon and found it easier to fit in dukan days too. I never gave up booze either just switched wine for vodka :)
