Crazy Diets...with crazy creators

Dr Dukan - only opens his mouth to change "les pieds" (the feet) it seems.  And the ones he's criticising are the ones he wants to buy his book and system.  Despite the fact that lots of French people don't eat anything like the Dukan Diet and still keep trim - its their habits around eating (no snacking, no guilt, a "bit" of red wine, a good sense of self etc. etc.) that keeps them that way, not his steak and salad regime.

Hmmm, they've even decided he can't call himself a doctor anymore.

Any diet will work, temporarily.  The multitude of rules and restrictions will get to us in the end, though.  And then we'll blame ourselves, not the diet, when its really the diet at fault.  Too complex, too restrictive, very "all or nothing" and so on.

Maybe the "mental problem" obese people have is that they don't believe what weirdo Frenchmen say!
