28 Vegetables Added in the Cruise Phase of the Dukan Diet
There are 28 permitted vegetables for PV (Protein and Vegetable) days in the Cruise Phase which you add to the list of 72 low fat, high protein foods from the Attack Phase. When you look at the vegetables listed in more detail you will see that many of these 28 vegetables have a large number of varieties that will give you a much wider choice than you might have first thought. You also have to remember that you can also eat goji berries which with the stewed rhubarb gives you limited access to fruit as well.
There are three vegetables on the list, carrots, beetroot, and artichokes which you need to be careful when eating as their high sugar content might impact on your weight loss so you need to restrict these to one serving per week each.
The 28 Permitted Vegetables are:
- Artichokes (Globe not Jerusalem)
- Asparagus
- Aubergine (aka Egg Plant)
- Beetroot
- Broccoli
- Cabbage (Broccoli and Cabbage are both a member of the Cole family and this allows you to eat a very wide variety of vegetables such as cauliflower, purple sprouting broccoli, red cabbage, white cabbage, collard greens, kale and brussel sprouts. The picture for this post is of a Romanesco Cauliflower)
- Carrots
- Celery and Celeriac
- Chicory
- Courgettes (aka Zucchini)
- Cucumber
- Fennel
- French Beans/String Beans/Runner Beans/Mangetout
- Leeks
- Mushrooms ( all varieties including White Button, Shiitake, Oyster and Portabella)
- Onions (Red, White, Salad or Spring)
- Palm Hearts
- Peppers
- Pumpkins, Squashes and Marrows
- Radishes
- Salad Leaves (Of any sort including all types of Lettuce, Rocket and Watercress)
- Sorrel
- Soya Beans
- Spinach
- Swede
- Swiss Chard
- Tomatoes
- Turnips

Hi,
can I have just one day per week, PP day, during my Cruise Phase?
I didn’t know that during PV meals they should consist of 2/3 protein and 1/3 vegetables. Is this a problem? I am in Cruise Phase only 5 days so far.
thnx
Amber on May 2, 2013
Hi Omfala
If you have only 1 day PP per week it is likely to slow down how quickly you lose weight but there is no reason for you not to try this if you think it will help you get to your target weight. After all it is better to get there slowly than not at all. The 2 to 1 ratio is suggested by the Dukan coaches but is not in the books so again if you are losing weight I wouldn’t be unduly concerned. It is certainly something you could look at if you stop losing weight.
Kind regards

Can we eat parsnip/avacado/red peppers on stage 2?
What about oil or mayo as dressing?
Amber on April 21, 2013
Hi Naomi
You can eat parsnips on the same basis as carrots, avocados aren’t allowed but red peppers are. You are only allowed one teaspoon of oil a day so you have to be careful with the salad dressing you chose. You’ll find links to a few recipes in this post. http://thedukandietsite.com/3574/dukan-sauces-salad-dressings-mayonnaises-and-vinaigrettes/
Best wishes

Naomi on April 22, 2013
Thank you!!
I assume that goes for mayo as well? Can I have a tablespoon of mayo one meal and oil another?
And just to confirm on stage 2 it’s protein and vegetables with the limitations noted above with the list of allowed protein And veg…
Peas/sugar snap peas I guess are too high in sugar to be on the list??
Amber on April 22, 2013
Hi Naomi
You can have the Dukan mayonnaise and a teaspoon of oil in the same day. The Dukan mayonnaise has no oil in it.
The protein and vegetables are unlimited other than were stated but on a PV day you want to aim for 2/3 protein 1/3 vegetables as recommended by the Dukan coaches and yes peas and sugar snap peas are too high in sugar to be allowed.
Best wishes

Naomi on April 22, 2013
You are so helpful!!! Thanks so much!!!
Ill be in touch and let u know how I am doing…so far lost 5lbs!!!

I look forward to hearing from you.

I have just finished a 4 day attack stage and live in asia Was wondering if long beans and any lentils are allowed on the diet as part of the next stage and if I can modify the next phase to 3 days of protein plus vege followed by 3 days of protein or would I have to follow the 5/5 or 1/1 rule.
Amber on April 12, 2013
Hi CB
You can adapt the diet so you do 3PP followed by 3PV. Long beans are fine to eat but lentils are too high in carbohydrates so they are only allowed to be eaten by vegetarians following the Dukan Diet.
Kind regards

Hi,
Today is my first day of cruise phase and i had chick peas for lunch. Am I allowed chick peas?
Thanks
Amber on February 21, 2013
Hi Paradise
I’m afraid that chickpeas aren’t allowed during the two weight loss phases of the Dukan Diet.

What can I use instead of quark or fromage frais ? This does not seem to be available in South Africa.
Amber on January 20, 2013
Hi Keith
You’ll find the information in this post. http://thedukandietsite.com/1437/what-can-i-use-as-a-substitute-for-fat-free-fromage-frais/

Hi Amber –
I have a quick question and I’d really appreciate your help in finding the answer. I’m in a second week of my cruise phase and I actually find it quite easy. I do not have cravings for sweets and carbs in general, but I do miss sauces soooo much, as I usually buy very lean meat cuts (sirloin) that I trim off of even smallest parts of fat, which in the end makes them quite dry. I have found this ajvar (which is a common delicacy here in Balkans) that has 2% protein, 1% sugar and 3.2% fat. It is basically a red pepper and eggplant chutney, both allowed on PV days. Theoretically, given the nutritive value, I should be able to eat this on PV days.
Can you please advise?
PS: I also do not seem to be able to find whether Huxol (the only artificial sweetener brand I could find) is allowed. The label is in German so not sure about properly naming the ingredients – sodium cyclamat, sodium saccharin, fructose, citric acid, sorbic acid, thaumatin.
Thank you so much!
M
Amber on January 18, 2013
Hi Marko
I believe that a little flexibility is needed when following the Dukan Diet in different countries. If Huxol is the only artificial sweetener you can find this is what you need to use.
I’ve looked up a recipe for ajvar and the only thing that might cause a problem is the level of oil that might be in the chutney as you are only supposed to eat one teaspoon of olive oil or rapeseed oil per day. A lot of men find the Dukan Diet suits them very well and that they lose weight quite quickly. If you are able to use Huxol and ajvar without it stopping you losing weight you should continue to do so. Dr Dukan might of course think otherwise.
Kind regards

Hi Amber!!
I would like to ask is it okay to eat Quacker Oat Bran cereals? The thing is it is so hard to find oat bran here in indonesia and my brother mistakenly bought this cereal instead of the oat bran we use in this diet, in Singapore. Pls advise xx
Amber on November 23, 2012
Hi Riana
Quaker Oat Bran Hot Cereal is fine to use as it is made from 100% pure oat bran.

Darcy on November 19, 2012
Hi, I live in Egypt and Oat Bran, and agar agar aren’t sold here, and ordering something from Amazon isn’t a feasible option for me. What can I use as a substitute? I am thrilled to be on the diet and am desperate to stick to it, please let me know of a simple staple, found in every supermarket, kind of food that I can use instead??
Amber on November 20, 2012
Hi Darcy
Agar agar is a vegan/vegetarian alternative to gelatin so you may be able to use this as an alternative if this type of animal product is acceptable for you to eat. Dr Dukan doesn’t provide any alternative for the oat bran so if you replace it you would not truly be following the Dukan Diet. You could try replacing the oat bran with wheat bran or corn starch/cornflour. The wheat bran would give you some additional fiber and the cornflour/starch would allow you to make pancakes/thicken sauces.
Kind regards

Suzanne on November 4, 2012
HI Amber!
I followed the Dukan Diet and lost 20 pounds. I was very happy with my results. However, I really stopped al together during the end of the consolidation phase. Needless to say, I have gained all but 5 pounds back. I am so discouraged. can I start all over? I don’t know what to do. Help!!
Amber on November 4, 2012
Hi Suzanne
Don’t be discouraged – you know that the Dukan Diet works and that you can lose the pounds that you need to. You know also know that you need to teach yourself new eating habits so that you know what you can eat without piling those pounds back on again and this is why the Consolidation Phase and the Stabilisation Phase are so important.
Just start again from the beginning and think positively – you have 5 pounds less to lose than before.

Hi Amber, your site has been most helpful! Thank you loads! I’m on day 4 of the attack phase, and I’ve lost 3 kg already! Please is swede allowed? I’m told its in the same family as turnips. Will be glad to get your response.
Amber on October 4, 2012
Hi Special
Swede is a little higher in calories and carbs than turnip but you should be able to eat it without it causing any problems – provided of course you don’t eat it covered in butter!
Kind regards

Madeline on September 16, 2012
Hello, Amber!
This is a great site! It certainly makes things easier. In the Dukan Diet Cookbook, Dr. Dukan mentions that we can eat shirataki noodles. I was wondering if mung bean noodles were permissible as well? Thanks for any info you might have!
Amber on September 17, 2012
Hello Madeline
I’m so pleased that you are finding the information on my site helpful. Unfortunately mung bean noodles are made from starch and so are quite high in calories and carbs so are not allowed on the Dukan Diet. Shirataki noodles can be eaten freely as they are almost carb and calorie free.
Best wishes

Hi Amber,
I’d like to ask about new potato. Can I eat as a vegetable? This is not contain just a little starch.
Thank you.
Kriszti
Amber on June 3, 2012
Hi Kriszti
I’m afraid all types of potatoes are too starchy for the weight loss phases.

Hi – are u sure pumpkin is allowed? It doesn’t appear to be in the book?
Amber on February 24, 2012
Hi Anastasia
Yes I’m sure. Pumpkin/marrow/squash is #91 in the list of 100 Natural Foods That Keep You Healthy of the UK Dukan Diet at page 319.

Can we eat Pumpkin seeds on the cruise phase? I heard someone post this on their video on You Tube.
Amber on January 31, 2012
Hi Gina
Here is a question and answer from the Dukan Diet US site LIVE chat tonight, 2012-27-01 at 1:30 pm EST which makes it very clear that pumpkin seeds are not allowed. This information is only a couple of days old. http://www.dukandiet.com/My-slimming-apartment/My-lounge/Live-Chat/LIVE-chat-tonight-2012-27-01-at-1-30-pm-EST

Hello Amber,
I’m a vegetarian person on the Cruise Phase. As you know are not to many information about vegetarian in the Dukan Diet and I have some questions regarding some vegetables:
- it’s allowed to consume in this phase pearl barley, yellow peas, green peas, marrow peas, red lentils?
- what variety of beans it’s allowed?
- what kind of oil can I use?
My meals (eggs, diary, soy foods, lentils, fishes and 28 vegetables admitted) are balanced in PP and PV but sometimes I need a diversity of foods.
Thanks.
P.S. I found very helpful your site:)
Amber on January 30, 2012
Hi Mariana
I’ll answer your questions in order
1. Only red lentils are allowed of the foods you listed. You can use any sort of lentil.
2. The beans that are allowed are green beans/runner beans/french beans.
3. You can use either olive oil or rapeseed oil.
You can use sesame seeds/poppy seeds in small quantities on the Cruise phase as an allowable condiment. You can sprout beans and eat the sprouts. Other vegetarian foods that you can eat include shirataki noodles, Quorn (plain mince), textured vegetable protein and Seitan.
Best wishes

Please i need your help..
(
I couldnt find Oat Bran anywhere!! So i got White bran.. is it the same thing??
Amber on January 16, 2012
Hi Pam
White bran comes from wheat so isn’t quite the same thing as oat bran. According to my research there are a lot of supermarkets and hypermarkets in Kuwait that might possibly stock oat bran such as Sultan Center, CityCentre, Lulu Hypermarket and Carrefour. The oat bran is sometimes with the breakfast cereals or sometimes with the baking ingredients.
Happy hunting!
Amber:)
Pam on January 18, 2012
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer me back
I looked but couldnt find it there either, so i’ll just order it on Amazon.
