New Pierre Dukan: Dukan Diet Recipe Book Paperback – January 1, 2010

I have tried many diets to lose the few extra pounds that have snuk on in the last decade, but most just showed me some tasty healthy new recipes and not much else. I have been following the Dukan diet for 3 1/2 weeks now and have lost 7.5 lbs. The weight loss is steady but noticeable - I have only 4.5 lbs to go until I reach my "true weight" (calculated on the dukan diet website - so easy!). I have found that drinking water really makes a difference in my weight loss - if I miss my recommended amount of water one day, my weight loss slows. Also, I have two servings of tasteless non-thinkening fiber in my morning coffees (one serving per cup) and have experienced no problems with constipation. I highly recommend this diet for those who have had little luck in other attempts. Thank you Pierre Dukan for this priceless gift of freedom from excess weight!

This is a plan for a lifetime. I believe I will be going back to the basics of the plan many times, but it's one that will work, I believe. My sister is sold on it, and has been doing the program for the last 2 years.

This diet works if you can stay on it. It is better than the all meat diets because you can have oat bran and veggies. I have lost weight on this and I do believe that simple carbs are bad for my body type (weight gain and bloat) but I sure miss fruit!. The diet forbids fats, sugars, and carbs. I have never been able to stick to it long enough to reach my desired weight but that is true of all diets I have tried. lol.

This is an excellant alternative recipe book which only assists and promotes loss of weight under the Dukan Diet Plan. All recipes are easy to follow and taste great which allows you to maintain the Cruise Phrase of the Dukan Diet due to being able to cook different meals for everyday of the week. This book also highlights the alternative ingedients that are available to maintain the calories at a low level but still taste great.Would definately recommend this book for those serious about losing weight....

very interesting read. the book has a lot of insights, some of the recipes are quite original and some are common knowledge. overall i recommend the book.

This book is the British version of the Dukan Cookbook. Do not buy it in America unless you want to try to convert all the recipes from metric grams to American ounces, cups and teaspoons. Since the same recipes appear in the Cookbook and are already in American measurements, there isn't a point. I wish this information had been included in the description before I bought it and I'd have saved myself $20. I had planned to return it, but my dog (who is mostly blind) caused a cup of coffee to be spilled on it as it sat by my computer while I was beginning the return process. I put it in the recycling bin.

I was attempting to lower my carbohydrate intake. This book really helped me get started in the right direction, I have continued to follow a lot of the diet. I have lost 25 lbs. since being on this diet. That is after having already lost 53 lbs. by eating mostly protein, vegetables and fruit. I feel so much better physically and mentally.

Terrible idea. Totally impractical. Load up on fat free dairy and lean meats and be ready for inflammation and bloat. Yuck. Try Scarsdale medical diet. I got bored with the same diet but don't slap the hand that feeds you! When you find something practical that works you will succeed. The only thing you really have to tell no thank you to ppl is alcohol and sweets. If you try this Duken not only will your stomach hurt from the protein only days it will be very uncomfortable telling you friends and family you can only eat meat today. Sounds like an eating disorder to me! I don't believe in anything anymore that excludes a food group. Everything in moderation. Try Scarsdale diet instead. Trust me!!!
