Dukan Diet is right for you.
Method for losing & stabilizing your weight in 4 distinct phases
PHASE 1 - ATTACK

The initial Attack phase consists of pure protein products and creates a stunning kick-start to the diet. During this phase, you can eat 72 high-protein foods enabling immediate and noticeable weight loss.
PHASE 2 - CRUISE

The Cruise phase will take you to your True Weight. During this phase you will gradually but steadily lose weight by alternating Pure Protein 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 stage when the body has a tendency to quickly regain lost pounds. 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 Phase 2.
PHASE 4 - PERMANENT STABILIZATION

This phase is the rest of your life! To keep your newly found body for the rest of your life you must follow these three simple but non-negotiable rules:

Eat three teaspoons of oat bran per day.
Choose to take the stairs whenever possible
Have one pure-protein (Phase 1) day per week.

International Success!
