There is no shortage of diet plans available to those who want or need to lose weight. The latest trendy diet is known as the Dukan Diet, which was named after its creator, French doctor Pierre Dukan. It has received rave reviews from all over the world. While he created the diet over 30 years ago, it didn't become popular until his book, called "The Dukan Diet," was published in 2000. Since its first publication, it has been translated into 32 languages and the book was released in the United States in 2011.
The Dukan Diet, also known as the "Princess Diet," helps people lose weight by eating foods that are low-fat and have few carbohydrates. There is a list of 100 foods that are allowed on the diet. The diet consists of four phases, also called ground pillars. The first phase, called the "attack" phase, allows dieters to lose up to six and a half pounds during the first week by revving up the body's metabolism. During this phase, dieters have a choice of 68-protein rich foods for their meals.
While almost every diet has its detractors, there are many people, including celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Kate Middleton that have had great success while on the Dukan Diet.
