Celebrities like Kate Middleton, Jennifer Lopez and Penelope Cruz have contributed greatly in making the Dukan diet popular, which was created by Dr. Pierre Dukan, who is a French medical doctor. But what exactly is Dukan diet, which is said to helped so many people in losing weight?
The diet
The main aim of the Dukan diet is promoting long term weight loss and effectively maintaining it. To make this possible, the diet gives people a realistic goal, which they can achieve and maintain for the rest of their lives. The goal weight of a person is achieved by using a four-phase process – attack phase, cruise phase, consolidation phase and stabilization phase. Each phase can take a few days, months or even years.
