Super Short Summary

The Dukan Diet by Pierre Dukan is a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet plan divided into four phases: "The Attack Phase," "The Cruise Phase," "The Consolidation Phase," and "The Stabilization Phase." It begins with calculating one's "true weight," followed by specific dietary guidelines for each phase that gradually reintroduce certain foods while focusing on maintaining the target weight through lean proteins and controlled portions of fats and carbohydrates.
