For the French speakers among us, the press is having a field day at the moment.
Régime Dukan: Une recette miracle qui inquiète la communauté scientifique - 20minutes.fr
and
Les médecins alertent sur les dangers du régime Dukan
entitled "The miraculous Dukan diet worries the scientific community" and "Doctors raise the alarm on the dangers of the Dukan diet", respectively.
While I take it with a pinch of salt, particularly for those of us who really have/had no choice at the outset, I remain convinced that this diet is not the answer for people with "normal BMIs" (because that's the only way to gauge - not because I think it's the right weight for them necessarily) and will continue to try to persuade people to look elsewhere if at a reasonable weight.
They talk of 80% having regained their weight and more besides three years after. They talk of potential kidney problems (fair enough - people MUST drink plenty of H20). Intestinal problems (hmm). Even cardiovascular problems linked to our over consumption of protein.
So... while we know all this of course, newbies attracted by the hype of losing 2 stone in a month without effort keep popping up and doing a quick blast and disappearing...; they're the ones most likely to suffer I think from the inevitable yoyoing...
