Hi there
I am new to this thread and have joined the Dukan forum to get some info as I am totally new to it. I thought I understood it but it appears I am getting things wrong in regards to the little things. Ie the fat free yoghurts and sugar free drinks etc. I am only on day 2 of Dukan by the way.
I am now wondering whether I should go over to Atkins as this seems a little more flexible, given you can eat cheese/cream etc. I had read the Atkins book years ago and I understand it has changed since.
From what I remember….Induction phase no more than 20g of carbs per day. Unlimited lean meats/poultry/fish. Cheese, cream (no milk) and no fruit.
Now the things I don't remember….
How long to do induction phase?
When can you introduce more non starchy veg?
I don't have that much weight to lose – perhaps 7-10lbs and Dukan fans are not sure it’s the right diet for me. I have lost 14lbs on weight watchers but have hit a plateau (that’s lasted a year!!) and I can not seem to shift anymore weight, which is why I want to shake it up with a low carb diet.
Has anyone done the Dukan before Atkins and what were your thoughts?
Your reply is much appreciated
