(CBS) It warns of bad breath, constipation and fatigue, but the Dukan Diet also comes with a big promise - to make you thin really quickly.
The diet is named after Dr. Pierre Dukan, a 69-year-old French neurologist whose books have already sold millions of copies and been translated into 14 languages. Dukan's big idea, which he says he stumbled upon four decades ago, is either being touted as an Atkins look-alike or the secret to keeping French women thin.
What's the truth?
"It's a high protein, low carb, very restrictive diet," registered dietitian Keri Glassman explained on "The Early Show on Saturday Morning." "The star players of this diet are lean protein, oat bran, and water. And ultimately, it promises that you can eat whatever you want.
"It's very similar to (the) Atkins (diet)," she added, "except it focuses on lean protein, and you are not allowed to have the fat."
Actually, you're not allowed to have much of anything, which might explain why it promises weight loss of two pounds a week.
