Dukan diet for beginners - brief summary please?

[HuevosRancheros]

OK, so I've seen the Dukan threads on here, and have googled it, but it seems you have to subscribe to the website - do you all do that? Or have you all got the book?

Was just wondering if someone could briefly describe what you have to do, I understand that there are different phases....

Thanks for anyone who takes the time to do this, it is much appreciated :)

I've never done it before, but found this when trying to see what all the fuss is about. Sounds hellish.

Thank you for that link, very useful. It does indeed sound awful!

My parents have been doing it since NYD. They have lost loads, as much as in a year on WW last year. My mum is v organised though and makes special dukan muffins, bread, cake, custard, etc. There is no way I could do it as too many thi ngs I can't eat but they love it. My dad has finished the first two bits f the diet and is now on consolidate. My mum has a way to go.

Try your local library, I have the Dukan book and the Atkins one ready to read for free! charity shops too.
