Does the Dukan Diet work for weight loss?

Experts indicate that the diet does not involve calorie counting and includes options for vegetarians. The diet has specific meal plans and recipes. However, the diet plan is very limiting and even recommends dodging of healthy foods like fruits, grain and nuts. Unfortunately, most low carbohydrate diets are not sustainable and most people tend to quit after just one week. Moreover, eating only protein diets leads to mood swings, extreme irritability, constipation and bad breath. 

In addition, protein diets are not ideal for people who have kidney problems, gout, high cholesterol or liver problems. In conclusion, the dukan diet is nothing special. The weight loss seen in the first two phase is pure water and likely to be regained when normal eating habits are resumed. The diet book costs $25. If you want to lose the cheap way and avoid restrictions of dietary plans, just walk more and eat less.
