What is the Dukan Diet?
The Dukan Diet is a high-protein eating plan created by French nutritionist Pierre Dukan. It is based on a simple principle: consume a high amount of protein while minimising carbohydrates. This approach aims to promote rapid and lasting weight loss.
The phases of the Dukan Diet
The Dukan Diet is structured into four phases:
- Attack Phase: This phase consists of an exclusive consumption of lean proteins for a period ranging from 2 to 7 days.
- Cruise Phase: Alternates days of pure protein with days of protein and vegetables.
- Consolidation Phase: Gradually reintroduces carbohydrates and fats to prevent regaining lost weight.
- Stabilisation Phase: Involves a balanced diet while maintaining some rules to keep the weight off.
