Diet Comments Off on Dukan Diet doctor faces ethics charge

Dr Dukan, 70, whose high-protein regime was used by Carole Middleton and is said to have been used by her daughter the Duchess, is accused of offering potentially dangerous advice that could breach the French medical ethics code.

Dr Dukan faces disciplinary action or being struck off the medical register if found guilty and has a month to respond to the complaints.

Dr Dukan, who has sold eight million copies of his diet book worldwide, made his ideal weight exam option proposal in his book An Open Letter to the Future President.

My idea would change nothing for those who have no need to get thinner. But for those who do, it would only motivate them to lose weight.
