The Princess of Wales is very careful about her skincare, which she also maintains by following a balanced diet inspired by the Dukan Diet. Here's what it's all about.
The Princess's Favorite Dishes
During the Commonwealth Day celebrations, Kate Middleton appeared radiant alongside her husband, Prince William. According to the British magazine Express.co.uk, the Princess of Wales exercises daily and follows a careful, balanced diet inspired by the Dukan Diet, a high-protein diet that limits carbohydrates and dairy, focusing on lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats.
The future Queen Consort of the United Kingdom begins her day with a smoothie made with kale, spirulina, lettuce, matcha (a finely ground green tea powder), spinach, cilantro, and blueberries. For lunch, she favors a salad of watermelon, avocado, cucumber, mint, and feta, accompanied by snacks such as goji berries, olives, and popcorn. In the evening, she often "cooks William's favorite dinner: roast chicken," Vanity Fair reported in 2012, and to end the day, she indulges in his favorite dessert: sticky toffee pudding, a traditional English dessert made with dates and caramel.
The Princess of Wales's other passions are spices, especially curry, and raw dishes like sushi, salads, gazpacho, tabbouleh, and ceviche, which are believed to be excellent for skincare. In fact, as an insider revealed to the Daily Mail: "Kate already has a perfect figure, but her goal is to achieve radiant skin."
The Dukan Diet
But how exactly does the Dukan Diet work? It is an extremely restrictive diet designed by French doctor Pierre Dukan: it is divided into four phases and involves a high intake of protein, with a reduction in carbohydrates and fats.
The "four phases" begin with the "attack phase," during which only foods rich in lean protein, such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy, are consumed. This is followed by the "cruise phase," in which protein days alternate with protein and vegetable days. This is followed by the "consolidation phase," during which all foods are gradually reintroduced, and concludes with the "stabilization phase," which involves a return to a normal diet, with specific rules to follow to avoid regaining the lost weight.
