Looking for a way to drop a few pounds before the warmer weather, bathing suit season, or some big event like, oh, I don't know, a royal wedding come around? The UK's newest diet fad, The Dukan Diet, is coming to America, but be careful before you commit... it's not an easy one to stick to.
The Dukan Diet, similar to The Atkins Diet that was so crazy popular a couple years back, will have it's guide book hitting stores in the US this month. The diet outlines a protein rich, low-fat approach to dropping the lb's. In the first phase, the dieters must stick to a menu of only non-fatty proteins, I hope you love skinless turkey and chicken breast... as well as 1.5 tablespoons of oat bran daily and tons and tons of water. After a while, dieters are allowed two slices of bread, a serving of cheese, and two servings of carbs per day, and a wine and dessert option two days per week. According to Yahoo!, after they've completed the first phases, "“Dukamaniacs” (as they're dubbed) can eat anything they want, provided they return to phase one’s protein, oat bran, and water regimen one day per week."
Supposedly, the diet works wonders, with most follows dropping two pounds per day in the first week. It's also been linked to the Middleton family, the Princess-to-be's mother, Carol Middleton, has been on the diet, and it's been rumored that it's responsible for Kate's slim down as well.
It sounds like a miracle fix, but I'm not sure I could stick to something like this... How about you? Share your opinions by commenting below!
