Even though miss Kate Middleton was SUPER tiny before she became engaged to England’s future king, she’s now supposedly on a pre-wedding diet called the Dukan Diet, which celebrities are avid followers of and I am totally going to get on like RIGHT NOW.  Let’s see how this works.

Here’s a picture of the super tiny Kate at her engagement (why even go on a diet? she’s so small!)

And here’s a photo of her after the engagement, just in January.  So jealous!! She is TINIER than in the first photo… all thanks (supposedly) to The Dukan Diet.

Anyway, with just 6 short weeks to go you can bet that I am going to get on this diet so I can lose some weight before my wedding.  It’s a diet that apparently helps you lose weight super fast AND promises to help you keep it off.  It’s kind of like the Atkin’s Diet which encourages a carb-free diet.  I love carbs, But I have to hate them before June 5.  I can do that.  (as a side note, I also make an effort to go to the gym 3 times a week to keep toned.)

I wanted to sign up for the Dukan Diet web-based program but its not available yet in the US, so I am just going to buy the book tomorrow.

I am SO nervous but SO excited.  On the Dukan Diet’s website, you fill out a free questionnaire to calculate your “True Weight” and I found out that if I stick to this program, I won’t just lose 10 pounds but 15 pounds by my wedding date!!!  I just have to follow this step-by-step program.  There’s an Attack Phase, Cruise Phase (protein & veggie phase) Consolidation Phase, and Stabilization Phase.  The point of this program is to help you keep off the weight!  The no-rice part is going to be SO difficult for me.

First is the “attack” phase in which you can only eat foods from the following list.  Mine is supposed to be just 2 days on this phase (and I am supposed to lose 2 pounds)– it can range from 1-10 days depending on what the person wishes to lose.  Then you go on to the Cruise Phase (45 days) where I can start adding veggies to the mix.
