The Dukan Diet starts with a short Attack phase, where you eat nothing but protein - just meat, fish, eggs and non-fat dairy products.
The 'Attack phase' of the diet is the kick-start that gives you the initial momentum and sets the tone for the other phases, you can lose as much as three kilograms in five days at this stage.
You can stick to the 'Attack phase' for as little as one day or as long as 10 days, but if your goal weight is 12 to 20 kilograms away, then five days produces the best results.
If you have about six kilograms to lose, two or three days on the Attack phase works well; if you are looking to slim down by only three kilograms, a single day in the Attack phase (where you'd be expected to lose one kilogram instantly) is often enough to get you started.
If you eat only protein, your body produces ketonic cells, which are powerful natural appetite suppressants and therefore a short-term, protein-rich regime purges the tissues of excess water, dulls the appetite, while maintaining muscle tone.
Proteins are relatively low in kilojoules and their complex structure means the human body has to work harder to digest the proteins - you will burn more kilojoules processing protein than any other food you eat.
After one to 10 days in the Attack phase, you move on to the 'Cruise phase'. This is the workhorse stage of the diet, where you alternate pure protein days with days when you add vegetables to your protein.
Body weight will drop at a rate of about 1000 grams a week, but with a range of meat and vegetables to choose from, you won't be hungry.

Has anyone done the dukan diet?
I've been on the Dukan diet for 4 days now. My Attack Phase will be 5 days so I have only one day to go before eating some vegetables. People have already commented that I've lost weight (I want to lose 20lbs overall). The most amazing thing for me is that this diet has been completely without food-cravings or hunger. Psychologically, the Dukan really helps in that you can feel your clothes getting looser and you don't feel like your fat but starving (if you know what I mean) like you do with other diets. I think that the Phases of the Dukan diet will help change your attitudes towards food and eating. The stablization and cruise phases will help bring this change around.
