The Dukan Diet - Phase 2 (Cruise Phase)

Hello there. How's the Phase 1 of this diet going on? Have you been coping well with the diet? Now, if you have been, I will be sharing on Phase 2, i.e. the cruise phase. If you have not, don't despair. Persevere, Persevere and Persevere. Patience, patience and patience.

At this phase, you can start to introduce vegetables into your diet. This creates more variety on your diet (IMPORTANT: No fruits for the moment). But again, multivitamins and vitamin C are important. For this diet, you have to eat until you achieve your desired weight. A few rhythms you could follow:-

1/1 Alternating Rhythm (PP; PV)

1 day Pure Protein (PP) followed by 1 day Protein + Vegetables (PV)

Eating vegetables will retain water in your body but PP days can flush the water away!

Refer to Phase 1 for PP days.

MUST HAVE

2 tablespoon of oatbran per day

Exercise 30 minutes a day or 60 minutes to break the plateau weight.
Multivitamins and vitamin C

WHAT GREENS TO EAT

For the greens, you can eat them in unlimited servings (boiled, fresh, soup, etc). If you cannot live without rice, what you can do is substitute white rice with black rice. Similar to vegetables, black rice contains complex carbohydrates plus it does not contain sugar or sodium. Still limit the black rice intake to 1 serving per day.

Carrots and beats - eat them moderately (limited to 1 serving/day)

Forbidden (those contains high carbohydrates or sugar content):

Potatoes, corn, fresh/dried peas, beans and lentil rice, quinoa, barley, wheat, berries, millet and other grains are not allowed!

2/7 Alternating Rhythm (PP; PV)

2 days Pure Protein (PP) followed by 5 days Protein + Vegetables (PV)

e.g. PP (Monday & Thursday); PV (The rest of the days will be PV) 

This  is recommended for little weight loss or those who has heavy bottom but slim top.

2/0 Alternating Rhythm (PP; PV)

2 days Pure Protein (PP) followed by 5 days no particular diet but not to the extremes (no second helpings!!)

This  is recommended for those who has heavy bottom but slim top.

The easiest way to prepare PV meal is to cook one-pot meal. Put your fish/meat and vegetables into a pot and stew them. I ate two middle-sized bowls but it didn't increase my weight. The trick is less meat/fish, more vegetables! All you need is just season the fish/meat with salt and black pepper. To make the soup sweeter, add onions/garlic.
