The Dukan Diet is a high-protein, low-carb diet plan created by French nutritionist Pierre Dukan. This diet is divided into four phases: attack, cruise, consolidation, and stabilization.
During the attack phase, which is the first phase, you can eat lean proteins such as chicken, fish, and eggs, as well as non-starchy vegetables. In the cruise phase, you can add in some non-starchy vegetables and continue to eat lean proteins. During the consolidation phase, you can gradually add in more variety, including whole grain bread and cheese. The stabilization phase is all about maintaining your weight loss and establishing long-term healthy eating habits.
Some popular Dukan Diet recipes include grilled chicken with garlic and herbs, oat bran muffins, and smoked salmon and cottage cheese quiche. These recipes are designed to be high in protein and low in carbohydrates, making them suitable for all phases of the diet.
