It is a diet program written by a French nutritionist Pierre Dukan. It has suddenly gained popularity after a few celebrities claimed they used the diet to return to their pre-baby bodies post pregnancy.
The Dukan Diet let's you "eat whatever you want" - as long as what you want is protein. The diet regime consists of four phases: Attack, Weight Loss, Stabilization, and Cruise.
Attack Phase: Eat only very lean veal, beef, chicken and turkey (white meat, no skin), fish and shellfish, eggs, fat-free dairy products, and lots of water. The phase should not exceed 10 days.
Weight Loss Phase: In 5 days cycles, alternate consecutive days of eating protein along with non-starchy vegetables and eating only protein (again) until you reach your goal weight. Drink at least 2 liters of water per day. Do not use butter or oil.
Stabilization Phase: Eat one serving of fruit, two slices of whole wheat bread and 1.5 ounces of cheese per day. Twice a week, eat two 5-ounce servings of starch and all of the usual proteins - as well as pork and lamb - without butter and oil. Twice a week, eat two unrestricted meals with wine and dessert, followed by a day of only protein. Do this for the number of days that equals 4 days for every half pound lost.
Cruise Phase: Eat whatever you want with one day a week of only protein (sigh). Dr. Dukan thinks Thursday is a good day for protein.

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.
