Water, sugar-free coffee, diet coke, and sugar-free tea are the drinks allowed during all phases of the Dukan Diet. The only things you can add to your coffee are skimmed milk and stevia.

Alcohol is not allowed during the first and the second phase. For best results, you should avoid it during the entire weight loss process. Don’t forget –

When you’re thirsty, water is the only thing your body needs.

These are all the foods I can think about that are allowed during the Dukan diet program. If you know other foods that should be on the Dukan diet food list, just comment below and I will update the article with the new information. Also, questions are welcome!

This diet would be very restricting for vegans. Would you still recommend this diet to them? Also are you allowed to do more vigorous exercise during this diet or is it only low intensity exercise?

These look delicious, love the fact you made these with turkey. I think using turkey makes a little softer meatball, perfect for this time of year.

Golden berries are such a super fruit, just as good as goji. Do you know if they might be allowed?

Hi, I would like to know if Coconutmilk is useful when doing this diet. It is very low in everything and it tastes better then skimmed milk.
