The Dukan Diet by Pierre Dukan

This book outlines The Dukan Diet, a four-phase weight loss and stabilization program developed by Dr. Pierre Dukan, a physician specializing in nutrition. The diet emphasizes a high-protein intake, particularly in its initial "Attack" phase, and gradually reintroduces vegetables, then other food categories, to prevent weight rebound. Key components include a daily walking regimen, drinking plenty of water, and the lifelong commitment to "protein Thursdays" and oat bran consumption for permanent stabilization. The author also discusses the psychology behind weight gain and the benefits of a personalized online coaching system to support dieters.
