THE ATTACK PHASE
DAY 2 MEAL PLAN
The Dukan Diet starts with a short, sharp 'attack' phase where you eat nothing but protein - just meat, fish, eggs and no-fat dairy products. You can spend just one day here - or as many as ten days if you have a lot of weight to lose - and many people can expect to lose as much as 7lb in five days.
You may experience bad breath and a dry mouth during this pure protein phase. Both are signs that you are losing weight. You should welcome them as proof of success.
Ease them by drinking more water. Constipation may strike after four days on attack so add a tablespoon of wheat bran flakes to your oat bran. But keep drinking.
During this phase, eat freely any foods on the 72 Foods list. These are safe to eat in unlimited quantities on every phase of the diet, so eat as much as you want, whenever you want; but you must adhere to this plan strictly.
Additional rules
Drink 1.5 litres of water per day (plain or carbonated) particularly at mealtimes to help you feel full. Tea, coffee and diet drinks (no more than 1 calorie per glass) can be included in this total.
Eat 1.5 tablespoons of oat bran per day (as porridge, sprinkled on yoghurt, or made into a pancake).
Walk briskly for 20 minutes every day.
Avoid all butter and oil.
What to drink
Drinking plenty is a very important part of the Dukan diet, especially during protein days. The suggested 2-3 litres of liquids per day can seem like a daunting task when you start the diet, however you will quickly learn that it's not only manageable, but can help you enjoy your meals and avoid cravings.
One thing we should get out of the way first is that liquids does not mean just water. You are encouraged to drink with every meal any of the following:
Water -bottled, sparkling, or tap
Tea -no sugar, but you can use sweeteners or skimmed milk; herbal tea is allowed too
Coffee -no sugar, but you can use sweeteners or skimmed mil
Diet sodas -diet Pepsi, coke zero, or any other sugar-free drink

FRUIT
http://dukandietquestions.com/can-i-eat/dukan-diet-fruit/
Fruit is healthy for you, but is it allowed on the Dukan Diet? The answer is: it depends. The Dukan Diet fruit allowance is a bit confusing, as it is not specifically laid out in the book.
Why is Dukan Diet fruit restricted? Fruit contains a lot of sugar. Although it is natural sugar, it can still slow down the body’s weight loss process that comes from eating pure protein and vegetables.
During the Attack phase, you are allowed one tablespoon of Goji berries per day. In fact, Dr. Dukan recommends this daily to help fight constipation and keep you energized.
During the Cruise phase, you are allowed one tablespoon of Goji berries on pure protein days and two tablespoons on protein and vegetable days. In addition, 100g (a little less than 1/2 cup) of rhubarb is allowed. Rhubarb contains helpful levels of Vitamin C and magnesium.
In the Consolidation phase, the Dukan Diet fruit allowance is two servings of allowed fruits per day. It is recommended that you eat two servings every day during this phase (with the exception of pure protein days).
Dukan Diet Consolidation Phase is the third phase of the Dukan Diet. During the Attack phase and the Cruise phase, all foods except lean proteins and vegetables are restricted. The Dukan Diet Consolidation phase brings a much-appreciated return to a small amount of fruits and grains, in addition to “free” celebration meals twice per week.
The purpose of the Dukan Diet Consolidation phase is to stabilize your weight. During this point in a diet, many dieters jump off the wagon and erase all of their good work. This phase was designed to help you slowly ease back into a normal way of eating
Dr. Dukan prescribes that dieters should stay on the Consolidation phase five days for every pound lost. Therefore, if you’ve lost 20 pounds, you should remain on the Consolidation phase for 100 days.
Dukan Diet Consolidation Phase Food List:
- All protein from the Attack phase
- All vegetables from the Cruise phase
- 1 serving of fruit per day (excluding bananas, grapes and cherries, which have very high sugar content)
- 2 slices of 100% whole-grain bread per day
- 1.5 ounces of cheese per day
- 2 servings of starchy foods per week (such as potatoes)
- Lamb, roast pork and lean ham one to two times per week
- Two celebration meals per week (eat anything you want! As long as you do not binge)
- 1 day of pure protein per week, on the same day every week
Finally, in the stabilization phase, you are free to eat whatever you’d like, and Dr. Dukan recommends a minimum of 3 servings of fruit per day. He does caution that you should keep your fruit consumption in check, and avoid eating an excess of very sugary fruits such as cherries and bananas.
If you are in one of the early Dukan Diet phases, you might be craving fruit or a sweet treat. Remember that the Dukan Diet allows for sugar free jello and sugar free candy treats to keep your cravings in check until the later phases of the diet.
You might be asking why you couldn’t find this information in the Dukan Diet book. Dr. Dukan has been posting updates and modifications to his diet on his official website. For more information, see the official Dukan Diet website.
