The Dukan Diet really earned a spot in the world of fitness and health. We have to admit that the awareness of the people about this dietary plan started when Kate Middleton, together with her sister and mother, confirmed that they are indeed on the said diet plan.

Some branded it as 'the royal diet programme' because Kate Middleton started the diet plan shortly before her wedding. Yes, the Dukan Diet only allows low-carb food and high protein food sources. Grains are also restricted, but, those on this diet still get to eat healthy foods in ample amounts.

The Dukan Diet mainly is a 4 phased high protein, low carbohydrate diet plan. This is due to the fact that carbohydrates are the first thing that the body burns, without much of it, then it goes directly to burning the fat in your body.

The Protein keeps you strong and on your toes and because you are allowed ample servings of lean protein and low carb food with water, you don't get hungry like most diet plans.

The Top 5 Dukan Diet Healthy Food List

Greek Yogurt.

Greek Yogurt is high in protein and calcium. Consuming ample amounts of plain Greek Yogurt is enough to provide you with the daily recommended allowance needed for bodily functions.

Beetroot

Beetroot is known to be the 'exercise drink' of the future - either taken purely as a juice or mixed with salad - since it is packed with antioxidants to help get rid of those free radicals that slows down you metabolism.

Kale

Kale is a type of cabbage that is high in calcium, beta carotine, Vitamin C and flavor. Nutritionally rich among the green leafy vegetable family, you are allowed to eat as much as you can for a quick energy boost.

Salmon

Salmon has always been considered high in protein and Omega-3 fatty acids. This is yet another good source of protein and amino acids for better body functioning.

Tofu

Tofu can also be part of the Dukan diet since it is a high source of lean protein. This is actually the preferred protein source for vegetarians who opt to try the Dukan diet plan.

Don't forget the benefits of water in a diet. The Dukan Diet recommends at least 1.5 Liters of water per day since water is the best cleansing and detoxifying agent of our body.

Large amounts of water also helps you feel full and you woudn't get the urge to take a snack. The good effect of water can also be seen on the skin - ample amounts of water gives clearer and properly hydrated skin.

Now, you too can have Kate Middleton's 'Barbie-figure' or a jaw=dropping one like Jennifer Lopez.
