"There's news on the web saying that dr. Dukan went 'bust'. Do you know what that means? It means that the Dukan diet has ended its lifecycle. Just like all business-based events, it followed the typical four-stages economic lifecycle: kick-off, growth, maximum market, decline. First there's a lot of ruckus when it comes out, then it booms, it reaches its maximum expansion and finally it inesorably descends into decline, until nothing's left but its name, together with many others in history."
