There are two answers to this question.

1. 2 servings per week

This is the rule given in the latest "The Dukan Diet Life Plan" book (2011 edition), as well as older edition of the original Dukan Diet book.

2. 1 serving per week in first half on Consolidation followed by 2 servings per week in the second half of Consolidation.

This is the advice given in the "The Dukan Diet" english edition from 2010.

Which one is correct? Well there is no explanation given for the change, but if you worry about maintainging your weight or giving in to the cravings you might want to go for the "safer" option (2).
