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.

Reviews for The Dukan Diet by Pierre Dukan are mixed. Enthusiasts praise the structured four-phase plan for its effectiveness in rapid weight loss and clear guidelines. Critics, however, caution about the diet's restrictive nature and potential nutritional imbalances. Long-term sustainability and the risk of health issues are also concerns. Overall, the book is impactful but warrants careful consideration.
The ideal reader for Pierre Dukan's The Dukan Diet is someone interested in structured, high-protein, low-carb weight-loss plans. They would likely have found value in books like Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution by Robert C. Atkins or The South Beach Diet by Arthur Agatston, which emphasize similar dietary principles.
