Frequently Asked Questions Dukan Diet
How do I start the Dukan Diet?
The first thing you need to know is how long you need to be on each stage of the diet. The official website has a free Dukan Diet calculator here. You will need to signup to the website (it's free). They offer a personalised coaching service online that you can optionally join.
Once you know how long you need to be on each stage you can browse this website for more information and visit the allowed food list. If like me you aren't ready to by The Dukan Diet
Why do I have ads on my site?
I have placed a few Google ads throughout my site to help pay for the setup and ongoing hosting costs for this website. Hopefully they will also serve a purpose of bringing useful information to your attention.

Hi all,
So glad to find this website. My friend in the UK dropped from a size 18 to a 10. I have read the book and I am starting on Monday. I am 90 Kg and my goal is 70 kg. I am hitting my scales and just going for it!

I am SO glad I found your website. I am on day 3 of the attack phase and I have lost weight, but am running out of food ideas. Your recipes look amazing and I am sure will help me get through this. Thanks so much!!!

hi, just to be clear since it's my first time, in the attack phase we can eat any of the first 72 foods in the 100 safe food list? then we can combine in the cruise phase? my second question is can it be cooked anyhow or only grilled or roasted? thanks a lot in advance

have just reached the cruise phase and have looked high and low about the use of broth as well as including one drop-yes, one drop, of roasted sesame oil into the diet. The broth can be a good alternative for those of us that are not huge coffee drinkers but would like a hot beverage. Any ideas? I have checked and rechecked the Dukan website but I find it hard to navigate

Sugar free jello (jelly) can be enjoyed in any phase of the Dukan Diet including the Attack Phase. You are allowed up to three portions of sugar free jello (jelly) every day.

Your website is FANTASTIC. It puts the actual Dukan website to shame. After signing up and 'almost' paying £150 for the coaching, I was more frustrated than anything. Thankfully I cancelled my Dukan account and got a refund. And am THRILLED to bits to find your website. Well done. You should have a section for donations. I'd pay to view your website!

There is no substitute for oat bran.It should be 100% oat bran and nothing else in the ingredients. Have you looked where the hot cereals are? or in the baking aisle? or in a health food store? or in a bulk food store?

If you live in the UK you can also get Oatbran from Amazon (the best I've tried tho a tad expensive compared to the others), Health Foods, Sainsbury (they do one called Morning Glory tho' I haven't tried it) and of course Dr Dukan's online shop.

I checked the list of ingredients for the Cracklin' Oat Bran. It has fat and added sugars in it. It would not be suitable for the Dukan diet.
