⠀
• How does it work?⠀
The Dukan Diet starts by calculating your goal weight — called your “true” weight — based on your age, weight loss history, and depends on 4 phases⠀
⠀
These are the four phases of the Dukan diet:⠀
⠀
Attack Phase (1–7 days): You start the diet by eating unlimited lean protein plus 1.5 tablespoons of oat bran per day.⠀
⠀
Cruise Phase (1–12 months): Alternate lean protein one day with lean protein and non-starchy veggies the next, plus 2 tablespoons of oat bran every day.⠀
⠀
Consolidation Phase (5 days for every pound lost in phases 1 and 2): Unlimited lean protein and veggies, some carbs and fats, one day of lean protein weekly, 2.5 tablespoons of oat bran daily.⠀
⠀
Stabilization Phase (indefinite): Follow the Consolidation Phase guidelines but loosen the rules as long as your weight remains stable. Oat bran is increased to 3 tablespoons per day.⠀
