I’m a hairdresser and constantly talking about diets with my clients, I was particularly intrigued when i visited one client who got slimmer and slimmer with each visit! 

My Dukan story...

She kept mentioning the Dukan diet and having been an avid follower of one other diet which had successfully worked for me in the past, I was loathed to try something that I dismissed initially (& wrongly) as a fad diet.

I lost weight initially and have kept losing ever since. 

You do have stagnant periods but then you get that with every diet.

The good thing is that you can eat so much food and actually what you are eating is healthy.

My favorite support Dukan food: fat free cottage cheese & eggs

My Dukan treat: Blancmange

My favourite form of exercise:
walking when the sun is out

The nicest compliment I've been paid:
that has to be when someone walked right past me because they didn’t recognise me...

What keeps me going:
getting into size 8 and size 10 clothes, and then when i’m in the states, i can get into a size 4!

The advice I'd give to others "Dukanians":
Stick at it.  This is a way of life, a lifestyle change, it is an incredibly healthy way of eating and you lose weight into the bargain.

I feel so much better and love that i can get into size 8 and 10’s!

I am a firm believer that this is a great diet and definitely the way forward when it comes to weight loss. 

It isn’t a complicated diet so there is no need to complicate it.

You have to read the book constantly so you remember what you are doing.  It’s not rocket science and it does work.

I have found that the groups on facebook are very important and I really did need them and almost rely on them for information and support.  I still do!

Having done other diets with no success, and another one with success but starving into the bargain and many other yoyo diets, I have found that the Dukan diet is not just a diet but a way of life and one that I will use every day.

I stayed on the Dukan diet whilst on holiday and lost 4lbs in 3 wks – how amazing is that!!! & I ate like a horse!
