Dr. Dukan Diet Attack Phase Summary
Here is all of the info you need to get started with the Dukan Diet Attack Phase. According to Dr. Pierre Dukan, the attack phase of the diet should go on for between one and ten days. It is most common for people to stay on this phase for 3-7 days but it is up to you to decide how long you should stay in your attack phase menu.
The theory behind the attack phase or protein program is to create a metabolic shock and a psychological trigger so you begin to lose weight right away.
First here is a basic summary of the attack phase. You can find more detail on the Dukan Diet approved proteins meat, fish and seafood choices by clicking Dukan Diet 100 Safe Food List.
Attack Phase Diet Summary
You can eat unlimited amounts of the foods listed below. It’s like a buffet where you can eat all you want. The key is that the foods on the list you can eat, the foods that aren’t, you cannot.
- Lean meats – beef (No ribs or rib eye) and veal grilled or roasted without oil or fat.
- Offal – kidneys, liver, beef tongue – tip
- All poultry except goose and duck (All without the skin)
- All fish – raw or cooked
- All shellfish
- Low-fat ham (No rind)
- Sliced low-fat chicken and pork (No rinds)
- Eggs (If you have cholesterol issues at all – eat no more than 3-4 yolks a week and stick to egg whites which are an excellent source of pure protein)
- Non-fat dairy products (cottage cheese, yogurt, quark, fromage frais, skim milk etc.)
10. At least 50 ounces of water (with low salt content)
11. Oat Bran Galette or 1 ½ Tbsp of oat bran added to a dairy product
12. At least 20 minutes walking or physical activity daily
13. Extra stuff: coffee, tea, vinegars, sugar-free flavorings, spices, herbs, pickles, lemons (not lemonade)
14. In moderation you can have salt and mustard (with no sugar)
15. Dr. Dukan recommends Aspartame and Splenda (I do not – I think they are poison and would recommend stevia as your sweetener in all cases, which is also approved by Doctor Dukan.
That’s it! Don’t eat anything else except these items from the Dukan attack foods list. Focus on these Dukan diet approved protein items and you should be fine. You should be creative with spices, garlic, use shallots, onions, thyme, parsley and vinegars to season liberally.

If I have about 40lbs to lose how long will I to stay in phase 1?
Hi Melanie – You can choose any length of time between 1 to 10 days for your Dukan attack phase. The recommended for 40 lbs weight loss and most common is 5 days of attack. This tends to produce the best results according to Dr. Dukan especially for people wanting to lose 20-40 lbs. The point of the attack phase is to psychologically jumpstart you as well as give a little shock to your metabolism. Factors that will affect how much weight you lose during the attack phase are gender, level of physical activity, how much water you retain. As always, consult your doctor before beginning any diet or exercise program. Good luck with your Dukan Diet!
Me and my friend are morbidly obese. She has 200lbs to lose and I have 70lbs. How long should we do each phase. Today we have started the attack phase and I just wnated to know how long we shoudl do it.
Hi i want to loose 20 kg as i am now 105 kg and my aim is to be 85 kg , please let me know how i can do that fast , thanks
Hi,
How much of the oat meal can I use daily and can i use oat flakes instead? Can I use fibre supplement why on the diet as its very low in fibre?
Hi Magdalena – the amount of oat bran depends on which phase of the Dukan diet you are in. The chart that shows how much oat bran you should have per day can be viewed Oat Bran daily intake. Regular oatmeal cereal or oat flakes are not okay – it is important to have oat bran to get the desired results. Good luck with your diet!
What condiments are you allowed to use? Can you use fat free mayo for tuna fish? I do not have oat bran in my home, can I start the attack phase without it? I can probably get some in a day or two.
Kim, you can start the attack phase without the oat bran but it is an important component so get that as soon as you can. You can use vinegar, spices, herbs, garlic, shallots. curry and so forth as condiments. Salt in moderation is okay, mustard as long as it doesn’t have sugar. Juice from lemon as a seasoning is okay. Pickles as a condiment in small quantity. Ketchup is not allowed. You can make your own mayonnaise. Dr. Dukan provides a great recipe for Dukan Herb Mayonaise using 1 raw egg yolk, 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard, 3 Tbsp nonfat fromage frais or quark, 1 Tbsp chopped chives or parsley and salt//pepper. Combine the egg yolk and mustard in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and add herbs. Gradually mix the quark stirring constantly. Refrigerate it. Good luck with your diet.

I eat no red meat and am happy with smoked tofu , or flavoured tofu .Is this ok and is quantity unlimited?
now my query is how much oat bran can i have during attack phase in a single day? please reply asap as i am waiting to start attack phase
It depends on your wehigt. If you only have a few pounds to lose, like 10-15, then it’ll take longer to lose that amount than if you have over 20 pounds to lose. With the HCG drops, I’m guessing you could lose 7 pounds easy. More if you’re really strict while on the VLCD. Remember you only eat 500 calories a day, no sugar (nor fake sugars like splenda), 200 grams of meat total, 2 fruits, and 1 bread thing. If you want to lose the wehigt faster, you may want to cut out the bread stick and 1 of the fruits. Honestly, I started these drops 4 days ago (2 days of Phase 1, and now I’m on my second day of Phase 2) and I just got on the scale a few minutes ago and I lost 5 pounds in 1 day! But I have quite a bit of wehigt to lose so that won’t be the results for everyone. If you exercise at least 30 minutes a day also, you could lose even more than 10 pounds a week. Also, I haven’t been hungry on this diet. The drops help soo much! Good luck and have fun in N. Carolina!
