“You can actually look at the meat and see that there is no fat at all. All of these foods are absolutely high in protein, and protein is what makes you eat less and lose weight,” Nutritionist Kristen Beck said.
Dukan’s kebab recipe doesn't use oil.
“You’re just cooking with onions and water, simple as that. It cuts out so much of the oil and fat content, so it's a recipe for losing weight,” Beck said.

Lean bacon, cream and cheese are in the 100 foods list, but they have to be low fat.
According to Women's Health magazine Editor Felicity Harley “ultimately for long-term success you need self-discipline with this diet, but also coupled with daily exercise, and this will keep the weight off for life.”
Dr Dukan says the diet only works if you go through all four stages. The last one, the Stabilisation phase, where every Thursday you eat only protein, is essential for keeping the weight off.
