I've decided to create this blog to help me and others who are interested in the
Dukan Diet. The diet that
Kate Middleton made famous!
The Dukan Diet was created by food specialist Pierre Dukan who has an interest in food behaviour and it has taken the world by storm from Australia to Russia everybody is trying it. The diet is a high protein diet and consists of 4 phases...
Phase 1
This is the Attack Phase. Basically consisting of protein, protein and more protein! If it hasn't breathed then don't bother to eat it ha. This attack phase generally lasts about 10 days and you can eat as much of the protein foods you want all day.
Phase 2
The Cruise Phase is the time when you introduce roughage into your diet. You alternate between pure protein and protein and vegetable days. It is recommended that you stay in this phase for 3 days per pound you want to loose.
Phase 3
The Consolidation Phase is the best phase (I have to say!) as it allows you to cheat. Okay, we all know that it is near impossible to stay strict completely while following a diet and this allows you to cheat a little every know and again. You stay in this phase for 5 days per pound lost and you get two celebration meals per week! A-mez-ing!
Phase 4
The Stabilisation Phase...Basically to make sure you don't pile the pounds back on instantly then you need to follow these 3 simple rules...
1. Have three tablespoons of oat bran a day
2. Choose to take the stairs whenever possible
3. Have one pure protein (phase 1) day a week
Simples!! No points to count or red and green days to follow :)
