The Dr. Dukan Diet was created with four distinct phases that are created to help you lose weight, maintain weight loss, and learn new eating habits. The phases start by spurring dramatic weight loss and shocking the system and then gradually introduce new food groups in each phase to help you lose weight.
Dr. Dukan Diet Phases

Dukan Attack PhaseDuring this phase of the Dr. Dukan Diet, dieters stick to an all protein diet consisting of healthy and lean protein including meat, eggs, low fat dairy, and more. Dieters can eat as much as they want as long as it is approved and can expect to lose weight rapidly, over a pound daily for most people. |

Dukan Cruise PhaseDuring the Cruise Phase you are allowed to add more foods to your diets including over 32 vegetables. During this phase you will reach your target weight. The length of this Dukan phase depends on how much weight you have to lose and offers multiple options for following the plan. |

Dukan Consolidation PhaseIn the Consolidation Phase of the Dr. Dukan plan you introduce a number of new foods to your diet including fruit, starches, wheat bread, cheese, and more. You also get to add in two celebration meals weekly that can include any food you want. This phase is all about maintenance and keeping the weight off. |

Dukan Stabilization PhaseThe Stabilization phase isn’t really a phase at all, but instead where you take everything you learned during the Dukan Diet to maintain healthy eating habits and a healthy lifestyle. There are some small rules to follow during this phase to make sure the weight stays off.. |
