looking for long term dukan dietrs please

[LilacJanet]

Hi, i have been on the dukan diet for nearly a month and am loving it, but would love to hear from people who have been on it for a longer time. I am on the list for bariatric surgery and started the dukan in desperation to loose weight before this, if i could loose all my weight and be able to keep it off, i would prefer it to surgery, but over the last 28 years have constantly lost from 3 and half stone to 5 stone only to find i couldnt stick to the diet long term and previously always put the weight back on, would love to hear how the diet pans out long term, thank you, Janet.x

Hi Lilac Janet

Has the Victoza helped with weight loss? Have you tried Byetta or its once a week form, Bydureon?

Regards

Hi Lilac Janet

Ive been on Dukan since the end of Jan '12 and lost 3 stone so far. I was over 17 stone at one point and for health reasons was advised to lose weight. Over the last 4 years Ive beat cancer twice with heavy dose treatment - but have been left with a few problems which my weight made worse.

So it was important to lose weight. I found Dukan made this possible. Scottish Slimmers and Weight Watchers didn't do it for me.
However you must eat enough - and equally important you MUST drink enough too. The 30 mins walk is crucial too especially for keeping the blood sugar in check.

The weight comes off quickly so you may want to pay extra attention to caring for your skin. If you can afford it, the counselling scheme seems wonderful but it is expensive. However you get daily feedback and I would have found that helpful with the recent hypo's Ive been getting. I'm now off Metformin - hurrah!

I'm still on the Cruise phase to lose another 2 stone... it is getting harder and I do add a little veg on my protein days. I do 1.1 protein day / veg + protein day.

Good Luck - if I can help with any other questions about Dukan and how Ive found it just get in touch.
