The stabilisation phase is the last stage on the diet, although describing it as a stage is misleading. It is a way of eating that you adopt permanently to ensure you do not put back all the weight lost in the previous three phases.<br /> <h3> What recipes can I use for the stabilisation phase of the Dukan Diet?</h3> You can choose any recipe you desire within reason. The stabilisation phase is about returning to a normal way of eating. It is based on the principles of the third phase of the diet, the consolidation phase, with one day a week dedicated to eating proteins.<br /> <h4>  Why do I have to eat only proteins for one day a week?</h4> By eating only proteins for one day a week, you are reminding yourself and your body of what you have gone through to get to your target weight. Dr Dukan suggests Thursday as the day you eat only proteins and it has fast become known as Protein Thursday among the Dukan Diet followers.<br /> <h4> What proteins can I eat on Protein Thursday?</h4> Dr Dukan suggests you choose from any of the following proteins:<br /><br />• Lean meat but not pork and lamb. If you want to eat beef, ensure it is as fat-free as possible and buy the lean version of mince if you are making meatloaf or meatballs. Also, if you choose steak, ensure it is well cooked rather than raw as this eliminates more of the fat in the meat. <br /><br />• Fish and seafood, preferably oily fish such as salmon, sardines and tuna. <br /><br />• Poultry except duck and goose and remember to remove the skin prior to eating. <br /><br />• Eggs.<br /><br />• Non-fat dairy products.<br /><br /> <h3> Where can I find recipes for Protein Thursday?</h3> You can use any of the recipes you followed during the attack phase of the Dukan Diet. If you need inspiration, then buy the associated recipe book or go online for suggestions. There are hundreds of ways you can eat pure proteins by combining them with herbs, spices and sauces and you will soon select a few that will become your favourites.<br /><br /> <h4> Are there any recipes I should avoid during the stabilisation phase of the Dukan Diet?</h4> <br />It is advisable that you stick to recipes that use low fat products, whether that is protein or dairy. Sticking to a low fat diet will become second nature after a while and you will automatically select foodstuffs and choose recipes based on this. It is worthwhile to avoid recipes that are heavy on carbohydrates. Some carbohydrates in your meals are good for you but stick to low quantities or avoid altogether if possible.<br /><br /><br />The stabilisation phase of the diet is about adhering to the food rules you learnt during the earlier phases and adopting them until they become habit. There are no specific recipes for the stabilisation phase of the Dukan Diet except for Protein Thursdays, when you can use the recipes picked up during the previous phases of the diet.<br /><br />

This is the third stage of the diet. During the previous two phases – attack and cruise – you will have lost all the weight you need to lose. The consolidation phase is about maintaining that weight and ensuring that you do not regain the pounds that you lost.<br /><br /><br />During the consolidation phase, you return to a more normal pattern of eating. You are allowed to eat:<br /><br />• Any of the protein foods from the attack phase of the diet. <br /><br />• Vegetables from the cruise phase of the diet. <br /><br />• One portion of fruit per day except for bananas, grapes, cherries, dried fruits and nuts. <br /><br />• Two slices of wholemeal bread per day. <br /><br />• One serving of cheese, which equates to 40g. <br /><br />• Two servings of starchy food per week. This includes pasta, couscous, polenta, lentils and beans. You are also allowed to add rice and potatoes to your meals but only in small quantities. <br /><br />• Additional meats such as lamb, pork and roast ham.<br /><br /><br /> <h3> You must also remember to eat oat bran every day but increase the quantity to two tablespoons per day, rather than one and a half tablespoons.</h3> <br /><br />In addition to these foods, you are also allowed two celebration meals per week of your choice. This means you can eat whatever kind of food you enjoy but you must only have one serving.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Dinner Recipe Ideas for the Consolidation Phase of the Dukan Diet<br /><br /><br /><br />With such a wide range of foods now available to you, it can be difficult to decide what to eat for dinner. Examples of consolidation recipes include:<br /><br /><br />• Sticky chicken with rice. <br /><br />• Chicken shish kebabs, which combines chicken and peppers. <br /><br />• Mozzarella meatballs and salad.<br /><br />• Goulash. <br /><br />• Roast pork with roast potatoes. <br /><br />• Prawn Mexicano.<br /><br /><br />Dessert Recipe Ideas for the Consolidation Phase of the Dukan Diet<br /><br /><br /><br />If you have a sweet tooth, then there is a wealth of recipes you can try during the consolidation phase, such as:<br /><br /><br />• Lemon and lime cheesecake.<br /><br />• Chocolate muffins.<br /><br />• Carrot cake. <br /><br />• Chocolate pancakes. <br /><br />• Almond biscuits.<br /><br />• Custard Swiss roll.<br /><br /><br />As you expand your food menu during the consolidation phase, recipe ideas are numerous. However, you must remember to have one pure protein day a week. On these days you can eat anything from the attack phase such as grilled fish, chicken with mustard, and beef kebabs. Get into the habit of setting aside the same day per week as your protein day.<br /><br /><br />By the time you start the consolidation phase of the diet, you will have reached your target weight. The idea of the consolidation phase is to train your body to maintain this weight and not to put back the pounds lost during the previous phases. As you are allowed to eat a wider range of foods during the consolidation phase of the Dukan Diet, you will not run out of recipe ideas, as there is so much to choose from.<br />

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> <strong>Directions:</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> Place the baby spinach in the blender with the one cup of almond milk.  Blend for 30 seconds or until all the greens are liquid.  Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> <strong>Tips:</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> Depending on what type of blender you are using, you may have to add more liquid (either water or more almond milk).  Sometimes the ingredients are too thick to blend in lower speed blenders.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> You can substitute any of the fruits for different ones that you prefer.  I usually try to add at least one frozen fruit – you can add more if you like.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> You can break the banana into small chunks and freeze it in a baggie.  I normally keep two or three baggies full of bananas in my freezer.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> I almost always add a banana to my smoothies – it provides a thicker texture.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> As you get more used to these Green Smoothies you can gradually increase the amount of greens in your breakfast smoothie.  This recipe uses one cup – but I now add three or four handfuls of greens to mine.    Most green smoothies are made with a sixty percent ratio of fruit to a forty percent ratio of greens.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> Use a variety of greens in your Breakfast Smoothies – such as kale, romaine lettuce, dandelion greens, chard, parsley or mustard greens.  I like purchasing the bags or containers of mixed greens.  They are already washed and ready to go.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> Try to buy organic greens and fruits when you can.   You can mix and match any greens and any fruits.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> I always add ground flax seed to my breakfast smoothie.  Flax seed provides heart healthy Omega-3 essential fatty acids and lots of beneficial fiber.   I purchase the whole flax seeds and grind up the amount that I need each day – that way they don‘t lose any nutrients.  You can grind them in your blender.   Keep your flax seeds in the refrigerator.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> The almond milk that you purchase in the store comes in Unsweetened, Regular, Vanilla or Chocolate.  You can choose which one you prefer – the Vanilla and Chocolate do have more calories and cane sugar in them.  I usually use the regular.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> The stevia in this recipe is optional.  When people first start drinking Green Smoothies they tend to like them sweeter.  As you become more used to them, you may decide not to add the stevia.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> Although this recipe is for a Breakfast Smoothie, they are also great for lunch or dinner.  I often have two or three of these a day.  They are a very healthy meal replacement and provide you with all of your servings of vegetables and fruits for the day.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> If you are trying to lose weight, these Breakfast Smoothies are the perfect meal to help you drop the pounds quickly.    We offer a FREE diet plan which includes Green Smoothies – go to FREE Healthy Diet To Lose Weight.</div> <div style="background-color: white;

I like to buy the packages of mixed organic greens – that way you get a variety of different kinds of greens.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> Remember to rotate your greens – don’t always use the same greens – one day use spinach, the next day use kale, the next day use romaine lettuce.  This will avoid the accumulation of alkaloids in your system.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> You should buy organic greens and fruit when you can.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> I prefer to add one frozen fruit to my green smoothies – usually the bananas.   I cut them up into small chunks and freeze them individually in sandwich baggies.   When I use one banana I put another one in.  I almost always use bananas in my green smoothies – it gives them a nice thick texture.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> I like to eat my green smoothies with a spoon and savor each bite.  It’s like eating dessert.</div> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;"> The below healthy green smoothie recipes are for 20 ounce smoothies – you can double or triple the recipe if necessary.</div> <div style="background-color: white;
