Talk to me about Dukan

[HappyHugs]

hi all, thinking of following general Dukan principles but without the book could do with some advice. I'm 5ft6 weigh 10st 13 and according to Dukan have an ideal weight of 9st9, 3 kids, normal bone structure, lowest weight since 18 about 8.5st

I assume I need to do this 5 day protein only attack phase but what then? I really need to lose half a stone to avoid buying new dress for impt event in 2 and a half weeks.

Also are low fat cheeses ok in attack phase?

Thanks for any help...

After the 5 day attack phase you do 1 day of protein and veg and 1 day of protein only until you reach your goal weight and then its a case of slowly re-introducing food groups but having 1 protein only day a week.
I warn you, this diet is hard to maintain and I suffer from headaches, dizziness and constipation even though I drink loads of fluids.
I lost 11/2 stones in 1 month but have remained static since due to the fact I have wine on weekends.
No cheese is supposed to be allowed but I found I was suffering from very dry skin so I re-introduced it with low fat soft cheese but not in attack phase.
Good luck, you do not sound very overweight tbh

Thanks Cheekymonkey. Think I'll attempt it. I'll maybe modify it a bit ;)
And thanks for the compliment, I'm a size 14 with a ten week old baby so I really need to get back to a 12 to avoid the need for a whole new wardrobe which i can't afford. Tbh the weight is all in the tummy so that's where I need to lose it from... I can only dream about being 9st9 (surely that'd be a size 10 and I can't even remember those days lol)
