    About this ebook

    The Dukan diet combines 68 forms of animal protein and 32 vegetables, which gives you the 'green light' for 100 different foods. This gives you a diet based on what the human species evolved on, and theoretically keeps us feeling happier and healthier.
    The Dukan diet uses four phases. By walking through these four phases, a person can shed weight quickly and then make lifestyle changes so you don't gain the weight back. This is the key to my series. Its not about the diet, pretty much all diets "work", its about the changes after the diet. Without a healthy plan for after, you're almost guaranteed to gain it all back. If you are going to go on a diet, it's important to understand, the diet is just to get you kick started in the right direction. The more difficult the diet, the less likely we are to succeed in the long run.

      The Dukan Diet - Sabina F.

      The Dukan Diet

      How it works and why

      Let's talk about the Dukan Diet. According to Wikipedia Dr. D was a nutritionist and general practitioner in France. Back in the 1970's, when the general consensus to treat obesity was to limit calories and meal sizes, Dr. Dukan came up with his system. It wasn't until the year 2000 when he wrote a book about his diet, that his diet hit it big. While its been around for over 30 years, we didn't even really hear about it in America until 2011!

      The Dukan Diet basically has you add protein to lose weight. Atkins anyone? Not exactly. I'll give it to you in a nutshell. If there is a diet that claims you can eat as much as you want AND lose weight it would be Dr. Dukan's.

      The Dukan diet combines 68 forms of animal protein and 32 vegetables, which gives you the 'green light' for 100 different foods. This gives you a diet based on what the human species evolved on, and theoretically keeps us feeling happier and healthier.

      The Dukan diet uses four phases. By walking through these four phases, a person can shed weight quickly and then make lifestyle changes so you don't gain the weight back. This is the key to my series. Its not about the diet, pretty much all diets work, its about the changes after the diet. Without a healthy plan for after, you're almost guaranteed to gain it all back. If you are going to go on a diet, it's important to understand, the diet is just to get you kick started in the right direction. The more difficult the diet, the less likely we are to succeed in the long run.

      So here are Dr. D's four phases:

      Phase 1- Attack

      The Attack Phase only lasts two weeks. In this phase you are allowed to eat from a choice of 68 high-protein foods which the body digests quickly and effectively. Veggies and other carbs are very limited during this time. This phase is meant to 'kick start' to your metabolism.

      Phase 2 - Cruise

      This phase is a little more complicated. In theory, once you've kick started your metabolism this phase will help you lose about two lbs a week. Here you begin incorporating 32 vegetables into your diet. You alternate days between Pure Proteins (PP phases), which you were given in the attack phase, and Proteins accompanied with recommended Vegetables (PV phases).

      Phase 3 - Consolidation

      This phase lasts 5 days for every pound you lose. So lose 20 pounds, spend 100 days on the Consolidation Phase. In the Consolidation Phase you prepare your body for the return to a balanced diet. Here you have monitored freedom which in theory helps you overcome the willpower issue when establishing a freshly conquered but still vulnerable ideal weight.

      Phase 4 - Stabilization

      This is the phase you live in for the rest of your life. During the first three phases, you were supposed to learn how to eat healthy and taught your body the right way to keep a healthy pattern. In addition to what you have learned in this diet, in the stabilization phase, there are three non-negotiable rules:

      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.

      That's basically the Dukan Diet in a nutshell.

      So, here are a couple of things to take away from this. First, the diet seams reasonable and sustainable as a way of life. I don't think it's for everyone though. I for one would have to spend
