I have stuck religiously to the diet since Thursday (attack phase) - was delighted to see I seemed to have lost 4 llb AFTER ONE DAY! after that, the weight went back up again and has stayed put ever since.

Please please please tell me I 'm going to see results soon....
you are supposed to get quick results in the initial phase in order to keep you motivated, apparently. So something's not working!

Has anyone else had a similar experience and found the diet has worked in the end?

First of all, dont panic.
Any change in you weight after one day was probably just normal fluctuations.
4 days is way too early to see any changes.
Ignore scales until day 7.
Now calm down and carry on!

I couldnt do Dukan personally, but thats just me. ( I have my own other demons. )
There is a school of thought that says weighing daily, as Dukan suggests, only leads to madness. (On/off scales, clothes off, after weeing, after pooing...)

Step away from the scales!!!

Give it a few more days as weight naturally fluctuates througout the week and the last thing you want to do is demoralise yourself when you are doing so well.

Will try and ignore those scales then! Deep breath.
I think I am pre=menstrual so that doesn't help.
