Dukan Diet, Queen of All Diets.

There's a fabulous and stunning diet that wears a crown, sorry a tiara.
It has been called The New Diet That Works Wonders.
Jennifer Lopez and super model Giselle Bunchen say that's the trick to getting bodies like theirs.
The question however is what is this diet, and why is it different from every other diet on the planet?
The diet is very simply called, The Dukan Diet.
Created by French physician, Pierre Dukan about 10 years ago, the diet is broken up into 4 ‘phases.’ The length of phases depends on the amount of weight you want to lose. Phase 1 is short, but Phase 2 can last weeks or months if there is a lot of weight lose. Phase 3 is the "in between" of weight loss and maintenance, then Phase 4 is supposed to be the lifelong part of this.

How does it work?
All phases are heavy on protein and light on carbs, similar to another famous ‘diet doc’ in the States, Dr. Atkins. And all phases are low in calories (because of this strict rules), though you’re not asked to count calories and can eat as much as you want, whenever you want.

Phase 1 — eat as absolutely much lean protein as you want, take 1.5 TBS of oat bran daily, and drink 1.5 L of water (about 6ish cups). That’s it. No veggies. No fruits.
Phase 2 — stick with the unlimited lean protein, but this time every other day you can add in unlimited non-starchy veggies (like green leafy veggies and celery are examples). And, up your oat bran to 2 TBS per day.

Phase 3 — you know the drill — unlimited lean protein, veggies are now allowed daily, 1 piece of fruit, 2 slices whole grain bread and 1 or 2 "cheat" days where you eat whatever you want.

Phase 4 — this is where you’re supposed to maintain. There are no "rules" per say, outside of 1 day per week going back to one of the all protein days in Phase I and continue with the oat bran, 3 TBS/day at this point.


Oh yeah, and exercise. According to the book, 20 minutes/day of walking is all it takes. Just 20 mins of walking, no running, how easy is that!
