The diet has been the mainstay in over a million houses in France where females seem to be meeting with successes.

Dukan Diet boils down to 4 phases incorporating several of the finest diet approaches.

Stage I - The attack phase is a protein-rich, zero-carb strategy, a more stringent adaptation to the South Beach & Atkins Diet. People could select protein laden food varieties numbering to seventy-two in total that people could select from in the seven days of dieting.

Stage II – The Cruising phase wherein a protein-rich dietetic intake is alternated with a vegan dietetic intake on alternating days. Alongside the just mentioned seventy-four protein-laden food forms, there are another twenty-eight less carbohydrate veggies.

Stage III – Deemed the Consolidation phase wherein re-addition of carbohydrates are then done into everyday dietetic intake in miniscule quantities for avoiding weight increase. The follower is permitted duo meals in a week’s time wherein he/she could eat as his/her liking & the objective is a pound of loss for each five days in such phase.

Stage IV - Ultimately, no sooner has one’s attained targeted weight, the Stabilization Phase would commence.
