From Kate Middleton to Jennifer Lopez, Dukan diet has become the star slimdown (Photos)

When Kate Middleton wanted to look fit and fabulous in her wedding gown, she chose the Dukan diet for weight loss success, reports Shape magazine. Both Jennifer Lopez and supermodel Gisele Bundchen also have turned to the Dukan plan to slim down successfully, according to the Daily Mail. Learn the secret to this popular food plan here.

How it works: the Dukan diet harnesses the appetite-suppressing, metabolism-boosting power of protein. Dr. Pierre Dukan based the phases of his slim-down program on scientific studies that demonstrated the role of protein in facilitating faster weight loss. In his book "The Dukan Diet: 2 Steps to Lose the Weight, 2 Steps to Keep It Off Forever," Dr. Dukan provides a detailed diet that's divided into four tasty, satisfying phases designed to help you safely and effectively shed the pounds and keep them off:

• Attack: You'll stay satisfied by choosing among 68 high protein foods during this quick-start phase of the diet.
• Cruise: Slim down during the second phase by adding 32 different vegetables to your diet. A fat loss overview can help you establish a clear summarize of what you demand to focus on to accomplish your fat reducing objective if you're a rookie; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an intermediate or more boost step of their weight-loss strategy. Following are seven steps that can serve as suggestions for your own weight loss program. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not a similar thing. Many weight loss courses have fooled people into considering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss programs only work by resulting in a person's body to lose more muscle cells and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. By using the proven method of varying your food intake through pure protein days and protein plus veggies day, you'll steadily lose until you achieve what Dr. Dukan calls your "true weight." Tip: enjoy fabulously flavored foods by experimenting with the wide range of recipes in "The Dukan Diet Cookbook: The Essential Companion to the Dukan Diet." From crispy chicken wings to chocolate cake, you'll be amazed at just how tasty dieting can be!
• Consolidation: You'll learn to carefully add new foods in order to stay in control and keep the weight off. Bonus: enjoy two "celebration meals" each week (perfect if you have a wedding and want cake with your bridal bliss!).
• Permanent stabilization: Now that you've made it through the three key phases, you have the tools that you need to maintain your weight. Dr. Duke wants you to succeed with these three simple rules: eat three tablespoons of oat bran daily, take the stairs when possible and set aside Thursdays for a return to your pure protein menu.

In addition to his diet books, Dr. Dukan has created an online diet guide to his program and recommended foods that you can buy to make the diet even tastier. For example, try the rich, fabulous Dukan Diet Oat Bran cookies. To learn more, visit http://www.dukandiet.com/
