Naturopath Questions Dukan Diet

What is the Dukan diet?

My doctor recently told me I need to lose weight for health reasons. I heard about the Dukan diet, but I'm just wondering, is it safe to go on it?

The diet is not nutritionally sound and it carries risks to kidney and cardiovascular health, if you are looking to lose weight there are two primary things you must do. Just two.

1. Eat at a caloric deficit
2. Move more

Just do those two things and you will certainly lose the weight.
French Fad Diet. Can cause heart and kidney disease.
The Dukan diet is just another reiteration of a high protein-low carb diet with its own quirky spin of having 2 phases... and attack phase and getting to your true weight phase. Nothing really new.
