I got down to 117, started playing with stupid diets (Nutrition response testing, juice fasts, fasts, etc.) and binged. Gained 17 pounds in November and have lost 11 pounds since 12/01 by following the Dukan Diet! It is similar to the surgeons recommendations. The attack phase (phase 1 out of 4) is 3-10 days long and is unlimited protein! My binges have disappeared. I'm eating a lot of food and I'm satisfied. No cravings at all.
