When should I start Dukan diet

[Rosybear]

I am dying to start the dukan diet - I have great willpower when it comes to diets however I have a posh afternoon tea booked for this coming friday with cakes, scones, sandwiches the lot!!

Should I just do it afterwards or shall i start before and take that day off - just wondering if it will just ruin the previous few days work?

Definitely wait! This isn't really the kind of diet you can take "breaks" with. You'll just undo all the work you did previously if you start now and then load up on carbs and sugar on Friday. Wait a bit and then begin as you mean to continue

Good luck and enjoy your tea :gimi:

yep definatly wait untill after your tea as all those carbs will undo your previous hard work

And if you start now you'll probably go through 2 lots of Dukan flu!

This was what I was thinking though I have a bit more time. I really want to going by the end of this week (been unwell) and was hoping to run with it until I get to goal. Also don't want to go through the ketosis process twice. However hubby booked a 4 day Easter break away so I thought I'll just carry one but the package includes some dinner and drinks. I could wait until after Easter but then I know I will gain weight and it is too long away.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I would wait Sammy - restart is never as good as the first results on Dukan, likelihood is you will put on more weight than you lose and have a harder task ahead of you than if you just eat normally until after your break x
