Thank you for your interest in the Dukan Diet. You have just discovered your True Weight. I would like to explain how this weight has been scientifically calculated based on parameters making this weight, YOUR weight, yours and exclusively yours.          

You are 44 years old.
You are still quite a young woman, but in an age group that is the most susceptible to weight problems. You should know that the way we do our calculation, for each decade after the age of 18, your True Weight increases by around 2 pounds (1 kg).

If we limit ourselves to using the traditional BMI, you ought to have a BMI of 41.32. However, although the BMI is a good tracking tool it takes only your weight and size into account. It doesn't look at your age, or your gender, how easily you put on weight, how many diets you have tried, how heavy your bone structure is or your family history! So according to this all-purpose index, you ought to have a BMI between 22 and 24. It is precisely because most of my patients cannot relate to this calculation that I created the True Weight.

Do you know what your weight range is?
It is the difference between the most you have ever weighed and the least you have ever weighed throughout your life.
Yours is 22, which is a lot and quite enough for it to be recorded in your body's biological memory. A weight difference like this has probably distended your skin. I would advise you not to try and get back down to your bottom weight as you'll have trouble stabilizing it and your skin is likely to be less firm.

You have a heavy bone structure. You may have exactly the same figure as another person, but you weigh more. A bone structure with 206 bones, that's heavy! I have to bear this in mind and add on a couple of pounds when calculating your True Weight.

Did you realize that you have a very big advantage, you have never been on a diet, so as far as weight control goes you are virgin territory.
This puts up you at a great advantage, an advantage you must protect from bad diets and worse still from any diets that don't offer a stabilization programme. What I am about to say to you may sound immodest or presumptuous, well never mind, I'll run that risk. The method that I am offering you is today the only method in the world that has a genuine, concrete and structured programme for consolidation and then stabilization.
And to my mind this service is so vitally important that I insist that following it "FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE" is more or less free of charge: only one GPB per week. The service is your watch dog, giving you warnings, a series of ever increasing counter attacks, information, tips for the long term; we have thought of everything to prevent weight going back on again and to take immediate action if ever your weight stops being stable. And this is meant in particular for all those people who like you have not yet got drawn into constantly following diets where the battle is lost before it's even started.

Finally, as far as pregnancies are concerned, you have been pregnant twice.
Because you have carried these two children your stable weight is increased by just over 4 pounds (2 kg), i.e. two pounds per pregnancy.

So Cate, I have taken some time to break down for you your personal weight equation, with each one of its parameters. I also want to help you understand how personalisation plays a critical role in an online coaching to advise and monitor a person with great efficiency. If you are ready to lose weight, you may want to know that my coaching service is THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD that is truly personalised and interactive. And when I say interactive, it means that every morning I send you my daily instructions for the day (food, exercise and motivation) and then every evening, you fill in your report back so that I prepare your new instructions for the following day. There is no other coaching service anywhere else with such elaborate personalisation and interactivity. 

By starting today and together your Dukan diet, your slimming project will be your greatest success. 

Kind regards,Dr Pierre Dukan
