The Dukan Diet Plan: Everything You Need to Know

The Dukan Diet is a renowned high-protein, low-carbohydrate nutritional framework designed by Dr. Pierre Dukan. Structured across four progressive phases, it offers a sustainable roadmap to achieve and permanently maintain your ideal weight.

The Four Phases of the Dukan Diet

• Phase 1: Attack (Pure Protein) – Kickstarts rapid weight loss with 68 high-protein foods.
• Phase 2: Cruise (Protein + Vegetables) – Alternates pure protein days with protein and non-starchy vegetable days until you reach your goal weight.
• Phase 3: Consolidation – Gradually reintroduces essential fats, fruit, bread, cheese, and celebratory meals to prevent rebound weight gain.
• Phase 4: Stabilization – Lifelong healthy eating rules including daily oat bran, taking the stairs, and one pure protein day each week.

Key Success Rules

Consistency is key: drink at least 1.5 liters of water daily, consume 1.5 to 3 tablespoons of oat bran per day depending on your phase, and maintain daily physical movement.
