In 2000, Dr. Pierre Dukan released his diet program in the book called The Dukan Diet, and while it quickly gained popularity, it also raised concerns.
Well-known celebrities followed The Dukan Diet, including Carol Middleton, the mother of Catherine, Princess of Wales, and Jennifer Lopez. That didn’t stop scientists and individuals being concerned over the plan, and it remains a diet that is not recommended to patients undergoing health treatments, such as those for cancer.
The idea of the Dukan Diet was to eat a high-protein diet with an extremely low carb count. The focus on low carbs became the main thing throughout this time of year, with the Atkins Diet and many others following similar trends. However, the Dukan Diet focused on the “attack phase,” which was when only protein and oat bran could be eaten.
This was what led to the claims that it was a “dangerous” diet, with Dr. Dukan taking Dr. Jean-Michel Cohen to court for libel. In the end, the French court ruled in favor of Dr. Cohen, who was concerned that the protein-rich diet could lead to increased risks of cancer and heart disease.
British Nutrition Foundation member Dr. Elisabeth Weichselbaum shared that cutting out food groups was dangerous. While she admitted that a week may not cause too many issues, “but for a longer period of time you will miss out on important nutrients.”
There were also concerns for many about the risk of yo-yo dieting, as the Dukan Diet proved to be restrictive. People would then skip the diet and eat what they enjoyed, gain weight again, and then go back on the restrictive diet.
Despite the concerns, The Dukan Diet remains on the shelves, and there have been new cookbooks and non-fiction releases to help understand the diet and remain on it. That being said, Dr. Dukan was expelled from the College of Physicians in France in 2014.
