"The truth is, they are jealous." As Pierre Dukan talk about other doctors. In particular, of his (ex) French colleagues who a few days ago thought well of disbar him from the Professional Order. They accuse him of violating the code of ethics. But he, the international guru of the bran-and-bresaola super diet, just isn't going to pass as a charlatan. And in an interview with Repubblica he even denies having been kicked out: “It's a lie – he says-. It was I who asked to be removed from the register. In January 2007, when I decided to start my fight against being overweight in the world, I chose to retire”.
Something similar to the movie cliché "it's not her who fires me, it's me who's leaving". In any case, whatever the truth, to date it is not known how the "battle" of the doctor is going. Certainly, so far Dukan has collected ten million copies sold worldwide with his books (of which eight hundred thousand in Italy alone), a paid coaching site and a commercial line of products and derivatives. Hordes of followers and adepts are passionate about his deeds from all over the world, and their number has increased exponentially after the filiform Kate Middleton - from a year old wife of Prince William of England - admitted that she had reached her thickness from sylph thanks to the Dukan method. In short, a fruitful crusade, that of the doctor.
But for 71-year-old Martin Luther of dieticians, all this is not enough. He wants more. And he continues to be talked about at home with a proposal that many consider discriminatory: a high school award for pupils in the last two years of high school (the presumably more stressful ones…) they have not gained weight. “My opponents scoff at this idea – admits Dukan -. But it seems logical to me to create an option in the program for those who want to learn the rudiments of dietetics, granting a bonus to those who, by following this advice, manage not to gain weight”. For all the others, however, all that remains is to go on a diet.
