Pierre Dukan is a French doctor, and he is the creator of the Dukan Diet. Bet you could have guessed that from the name of the diet!
Pierre Dukan was a general practitioner in Paris in the 1970s. Dukan thought of a way to prevent patients from regaining their lost weight. He designed a new approach in 4 phases, including stabilisation and consolidation. After more than 20 years of research, Dukan published his findings in 2000 in his book “Je ne sais pas maigrir” (which means “I don’t know how to get slimmer”). The book became a best seller.
The Dukan diet quickly became popular in France, and, more recently, it has been gaining in popularity in the UK and in the US.
