More Dukan Cruise Phase 101

How Long Should The Cruise Phase Last?

The rule is very simple: follow the Cruise Phase until you reach your target weight.
I just wanted to point out that, if from time to time any diet slip ups should occur, there will be no need to start all over again from the first stage. No “bad day” will wreck your diet. Just carry on with the Cruise Phase as normal and you’ll see how forgiving the scales will be after a few days of PP and PV.
To find out more on how often you should be monitoring your progress, take a look at our blog post titled “How Often Should I Weigh Myself on the Dukan Diet?“.
