The Princess Diet

On Friday, I (along with 2 billion other people) watched Kate Middleton marry Prince William. She looked radiant, happy, regal, and slim! And then Pippa! That ass!

That was Friday. On Saturday, I bought The Dukan Diet. On Monday, I started it.

And today is Tuesday, when it occurred to me that I should share my experience because maybe other people watched Pippa's bum sashay down the aisle and thought "Yeah, I want an ass like that."

I am 28 years old. I am gainfully employed and have a live-in boyfriend who is not following Dukan (from here on out, I'm just going to call it the Princess Diet, or PD). I am 5'5, 135 pounds, and I do not eat beef, poultry, or pork. Or lamb, or veal, or anything that isn't fish or shellfish. I am only interested in losing 10-15 pounds and ridding myself of the ever-accumulating cellulite in my thighs. Because Dr. Dukan says maybe that can happen.


Your True Weight is 121.5 lbs. It is a little bit higher than the desired weight you indicated. But it's your true weight, a weight that you can attain and maintain. Let’s start here.

If you start your diet today you will weigh 121.47 lbs on the 06/13/2011


You will have to follow 3 phases of Dukan Diet method, and in 91 days you will reach and permanently stabilize your new weight.


That's what his website told me, along with a snazzy ski slope-looking graph that I don't know how to copy.

So that's that. Let's get this journey started, eh?
