The Dukan Diet 4 Phases

The Dukan Diet 4 Phases


Most diets help you lose weight. But 95% of people who diet gain all the weight back... and more when they return to their old eating habits.

The Dukan Diet will redesign your eating habits and help you permanently stabilize your weight..

The Dukan Diet Method is a high protein, low fat, low carb diet - a healthy eating plan based on proteins and vegetables, 100 foods in total. And what's best, it's "EAT AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE."

The distinct Dukan Diet 4 Phases will help you Lose and Stabilize your Weight

The Dukan Diet does not guarantee extreme results in record time.  Instead it promises that if you follow the instructions you will be able to reach your True Weight, a realistic weight that you can attain & maintain for the rest of your life.




    Phase 1 - ATTACK

The Attack phase consists of pure protein and creates a kick-start to the diet. During this phase, you can eat 68 high-protein foods that produce immediate and noticeable weight loss.

    Phase 2 - CRUISE


The Cruise phase adds 32 vegetables and will take you to your True Weight. You will gradually but steadily lose weight by alternating Pure Protein days and Protein + Vegetables days. The average length of this phase is based on a schedule of 3 days for each pound you want to lose.
   
   

Phase 3 - CONSOLIDATION


During this time you are at your most vulnerable, as the body has a tendency to quickly regain lost pounds. The Consolidation Phase is designed to prevent the rebound effect by gradually returning previously forbidden foods and allowing for two “celebration" meals per week. This phase follows a strict timeline – 5 days per every pound lost in Cruise Phase.

     Phase 4 - PERMANENT STABILIZATION


This phase is the rest of your life! You have learned how to eat healthily in the previous phases and have developed a pattern to follow.  In addition, to keep your new slim body, you must follow these three simple but non-negotiable rules:

  1. Consume 3 Tablespoons of oat bran per day.
  2. Choose to take the stairs whenever possible.
  3. Have a pure-protein Thursday, i.e. Attack Phase menu.
