Topic: Dukan Diet

[Mimi]

Great post Antipodes.  Could not have said it better myself.  Got on the scales this morning and to my delight I'm 3kg down.  I knew the 'attack phase' of this diet would be difficult ie meat fish seafood fat free dairy only but I thought hey its only for 3 days.......I can put up with that ;) I am really looking forward to veggies today, than its alternating meat and meat +veggies until the weight has gone then I can start to add other things sloooooooooooooly as the good Dr Dukan advises.

but you must admit that eating too  many of them will help you gain weight.

Eating too much of anything - protein, fat, carbs will help you gain weight.  The basic laws of physics don't change.  If energy in is greater than energy out you gain weight.  If energy in is less than energy out you lose weight.

There's a whole raft of interesting psychology around these fad fashion type diets that's exploited by get rich quick authors.  Caveat emptor.

I feel I'm hijacking this a bit, but feel I must just comment on an observation made earlier on.

               My daughter follows a 'Paleo' diet which she chooses to do as carbs, sugar and process foods where the source of her chronic and debilitating migraines (found out after a long process of elimination)  She had just had a beautiful little girl who weighed 7lb 8oz and she had only put on 2.5 kg in weight after she had her baby.  Three weeks on that has now gone too.  She looks amazing (if a little thin for me)

Can I just mention that the weight put on during pregnancy and kept after the birth is there for a reason - to provide resources for the mother as she feeds her baby.  Obviously not every mother does this herself, but if this new mother is then losing weight should be the last thing on her mind.  As I recall, early motherhood is definitely a time for looking after yourself as much as possible!   :)
