New Pierre Dukan: Dukan Diet Recipe Book

I have tried many diets to lose the few extra pounds that have snuk on in the last decade, but most just showed me some tasty healthy new recipes and not much else. I have been following the Dukan diet for 3 1/2 weeks now and have lost 7.5 lbs. The weight loss is steady but noticeable - I have only 4.5 lbs to go until I reach my "true weight" (calculated on the dukan diet website - so easy!). I have found that drinking water really makes a difference in my weight loss - if I miss my recommended amount of water one day, my weight loss slows. Also, I have two servings of tasteless non-thinkening fiber in my morning coffees (one serving per cup) and have experienced no problems with constipation. I highly recommend this diet for those who have had little luck in other attempts. Thank you Pierre Dukan for this priceless gift of freedom from excess weight!

very interesting read. the book has a lot of insights, some of the recipes are quite original and some are common knowledge. overall i recommend the book.

I had a hard time following this diet due to the extreme limitations in carbs and because it was so different from my normal carb loaded diet. You need a lot of will power or maybe some strong diet pills :) I did lose weight and so did my friends so it does work while you're on the diet and I think it helped me eat better after I was off the diet. It is a quick weight loss diet for sure if you can do. It's also from another country so I didn't know what some of the things it recommends were (look at the recommended Oatbran Galette you eat daily). I guess in the US we would call that a pancake but one of the main ingredients is non-fat fromage frais or quark. I did some research and discovered that was a kind of cheese but I never could find it. I substituted with low fat ricotta which is what someone suggested.

I bought this book for a co-worker that had been steadfast on the Dukan diet for over 6 weeks. Not cheating once, and very successful in her weightloss, I bought this book for her as an incentive to stick with it, and give refreshing ideas to the diet. It did not dissappoint. This book is a fabulous addition to being on the dukan diet, and not having to search high and low for low-fat protein friendly recipes. This is a great addition to chaging your eating habits for good, with much success.

I was attempting to lower my carbohydrate intake. This book really helped me get started in the right direction, I have continued to follow a lot of the diet. I have lost 25 lbs. since being on this diet. That is after having already lost 53 lbs. by eating mostly protein, vegetables and fruit. I feel so much better physically and mentally.

great diet recipes

This book is the British version of the Dukan Cookbook. Do not buy it in America unless you want to try to convert all the recipes from metric grams to American ounces, cups and teaspoons. Since the same recipes appear in the Cookbook and are already in American measurements, there isn't a point. I wish this information had been included in the description before I bought it and I'd have saved myself $20. I had planned to return it, but my dog (who is mostly blind) caused a cup of coffee to be spilled on it as it sat by my computer while I was beginning the return process. I put it in the recycling bin.

This is a plan for a lifetime. I believe I will be going back to the basics of the plan many times, but it's one that will work, I believe. My sister is sold on it, and has been doing the program for the last 2 years.

This diet is amazing. The recipes are easy to follow. I started my diet beginning of April and I have lost just over 8 kilos already. The only thing I am missing is bread. I bought the recipe book and the Dukan Diet book. I just needed the recipe book. I've had a few special occasions, so I was not totally strict at those occasions. I've tried different diets, lost the weight, put it back on and then some. I think I can stick to this. At the moment I am doing 5 days of protein and 5 days of protein and vegetable. I would recommend this. Give it a go, what have you got to loose?

Very nice book

He uses a lot of erythritol. Otherwise some of the recipes look good.

Firstly, take time to read about why and how this diet works, and then read the recipe book. I took the book on holiday and planned my menus. I decided to give it my all and I have followed the plan EXACTLY for 2.5 weeks and have lost 9lbs. I feel great, and I'm already looking better - plus no hunger pains, no cravings, and no desire to deviate at all. It's so easy to keep to the recipes providing you get organised first. I have a stock cupboard of my most used ingredients, and shop weekly according to the recipes I've written out. Failure to plan in this case could be planning to fail as they say. It IS different, but that's why it works, and I wish I had started this years ago, but I guess it's never too late.

This is a great diet in that you will definitely lose weight pretty quickly and fairly easily (if you stick to the rules). It's hard for the first week, but you get used to it and it's really motivating to see the weight drop off each week. However this is a very dull, repetitive and uninspiring recipe book, with no pictures. For example, baked chicken with courgettes, baked chicken with peppers, baked chicken with herbs, baked chicken with spices etc etc. I find I can use or adapt much better and tastier recipes using the Hairy Bikers Diet Book or the Good Food Healthy Recipes app.
