Dukan Diet

Has anyone tried the Dukan diet? If so were the results good? and how difficult was it to stick to?
A friend tried it and it was pretty successful, but she found it difficult to dine out. Unfortunately, she has put all the weight back on, plus a little extra 
The problem is keeping it off. I partly blame dieting for the extra weight I carry. Everytime I gave up on a diet I always ended up putting a little extra on too. I really should give up trying to find the miracle diet and do what really needs done - eat healthy, smaller portions and regular exercise 
i did this diet last year and lost about 10lbs in time for my holiday .. it works and it works quite quickly and if you have a little time to prepare the recipies then you wont go hungry or get bored .. there is a problem with eating out tho and when you do you have to cheat a little or starve!!! .. I have put the weight back on after a year but problem was I didn't follow the four stages .. I got to stage 2 and gave up .. Dr Dukan warns about this!!
I have started it again because I like the fact that when I'm hungry I can eat .. it might not necessarily be what I want to eat .. but you should never be hungry on this diet.

Hi Sparkles,
The diet works and I didn't find it too tricky to stick to as you can eat as much as you want as long as you don't stray from the food groups releveant to which stage you're at. I did have major cravings to start with (chocolate) but these have pretty much disappeared.
It's been seventeen days so still quite early but I've lost ten pounds. My bf who has also been following has lost a stone.
The book is really good as it motivates you. I wouldn't really recommend the dessert receipes though, as every time I've tried these, it's not worked well!
I wouldn't recommend starting the diet if you have a major dinner or celebration coming up. Best to wait for when the calander is quiet and you can dedicate yourself to it, as newbeginnings2 says, it can be tricky if you're invited to eat out until the third stage.

My friend and her husband have both done the Dukan Diet and with great success too. He's on the final stage and she reaches her final stage on Christmas Day (luckily lol)!
She looks amazing and although I'm really envious of her new figure I don't think it's the type of diet that I could stick to.
