Kate MiddletonHer appearance hasn’t changed much since she first came into the public eye in 2011, when she married Prince William at Westminster Abbey. The Duchess is reportedly a petite size six. How has she managed to maintain her slim and toned figure?
According to a royal source, Kate weighs around eight stones and is a size six.
After playing various sports in college, including rowing, she has managed to stay slim even after having children thanks to her diet and exercise regimen.
Although the Duchess has not publicly confirmed her diet, she reportedly follows the Dukan diet.
Popularized by Dr. Pierre Dukan, a French general practitioner, the diet claims to produce “rapid and permanent weight loss without hunger,” according to Healthline.

It is about eating foods rich in protein and low in carbohydrates and is made up of four steps.
The first step is the attack phase, where slimmers start the diet by eating unlimited lean protein plus one and a half tablespoons of oat bran every day, lasting one week.
The next step, which can take anywhere from a month to 12 months, is to alternate lean protein one day with lean protein and non-starchy vegetables the next, plus two tablespoons of oat bran each day.
The third phase is the consolidation phase, which is five days for every pound lost in phases one and two, and involves eating an unlimited amount of lean protein and vegetables, some carbohydrates and fat, one day of lean protein per week and two and a half tablespoons of oat bran every day.
DO NOT MISS:
Finally, the fourth phase is the stabilization phase, which is indefinite.
Losers are encouraged to follow the consolidation phase guidelines, but relax the rules as long as their weight remains stable. Oat bran is increased to three tablespoons a day.
According to Mail Online, the Duchess’s diet is varied and includes lots of fruits and vegetables.
For breakfast, she usually has a smoothie made of kale, spirulina, matcha, spinach, romaine lettuce, coriander leaves, and blueberries.
As for lunch, the duchess reportedly eats raw, cold foods like gazpacho, watermelon salads, tabbouleh, and ceviche.
However, although Kate is not a vegetarian, she reportedly prefers to eat meals without meat or fish.
During the Cambridges’ royal tour of India, Raghu Deora, who was responsible for cooking for the couple while they were staying at the Taj Mahal Palace, revealed that the couple’s lunch would be vegetable kebabs and lentil curries.
The chef said Hi! magazine: “It’s all vegetarian because they told me that’s what they prefer.”
But the duchess occasionally cooks meat, particularly for her husband, whose favorite dish is believed to be chicken.
In 2010, royal writer Katie Nicholl said, “At night, she [Kate] enjoys his hobby of cooking William’s favorite dinner, roast chicken.
“That’s his idea of the perfect night.”
Although people on the Dukan diet generally eat few carbs, Kate and her family reportedly indulge in pasta from time to time.
During a visit to Lavender Primary School in Enfield in 2019, Kate mentioned cooking cheesy pasta with her children, according to People.com.
Teacher Matthew Kleiner-Mann told the news website: “She was telling us how much her children love to cook and how they cook for her.
“They made cheese pasta the other day.
“One stirs the flour, another puts the milk and butter. And they do salads and stuff.”
