The Dukan Diet

The Dukan diet to get into a "top 10" diets, coveted by millions of people. Diet, which gained wide popularity in the early 21st century, when the specialist dietetics Fifth EP Dukan published the book "I can not lose weight". She helped to lose weight of thousands of people and became the best in its kind.

The principles and rules of Dukan diet

Method of weight loss, studied and published by a French dietitian, is a simple but fundamental speeches. In daily meals be imposed only protein foods, which are used in the desired quantity. Since the digestion of proteins (ie proteins) heavier than the digestion of fats and carbohydrates, the body uses the energy obtained from the already accumulated fat. Following the diet connection unity is vegetables, enrich the body with fiber, vitamins.

Rules for all phases:

  • to reduce as far as possible, the amount of salt;
  • drink plenty of water, tea-2 liters a day and more;
  • have protein foods, not limiting the number and despite the hour;

Rules must be implemented strictly and at each stage, with the exception of threat to life and health. Any other exceptions can not be, otherwise the achieved results will disappear quickly or do not learn to achieve.

Dukan has developed a unique system that takes into account every detail. What do you want? If 30 years to do what he likes, and doesn't do that. It diet helps to get rid of excess weight forever.

Positive and negative aspects of the diet

As with any diet, it has several advantages:

  • the first steps is weight loss due to the fact that the body spends energy on digestion of the carbs burning for this fat. The compound unity is the result and want to continue to follow the diet;
  • within the diet are allowed to eat nutritious and healthy food;
  • no need to cook special recipes, you don't depend on the place the diet you can stick to while at home, on vacation or working time.
  • you are free from the constant counting, tracking calories, and are not limited in the time eating and the amount.

Unfortunately, the world is not perfect, if there are pros there will be cons, otherwise the balance of the question. The cons of this diet is:

  • high amount of protein in the diet, and this, in turn, elevated cholesterol, and stress on the blood vessels, kidneys and liver;
  • low fiber content in the diet (ie bowel problems and digestive tract);

Possible diet it is better to observe under the supervision of a physician specializing in weight loss. Because the body gets plenty of protein may disrupt carbohydrate metabolism. The reason for this is the low rate of insulin in the human body. Things are serious enough to pay attention to them, if this is not done, the health of the pits can begin a serious problem. To reduce the risks during the diet you should drink more water, so the body is easier to bring the results of protein breakdown. You can still drink vitamins and the best vitamin complexes, so you can give your body the necessary substances contained in the food during the diet can not be used.

Before the start

Think carefully and decide for yourself what you want to achieve this diet, how many kg you want to lose. If you have pictures of where you were slender, you can look at them, remember this feeling of lightness. If possible, make an ultrasound to fix your condition of the internal organs in the diet and their size. It would be nice to be tested, cut and blood, to see your body to the diet. With all these tests visit a doctor for consultation, he will tell you that you have a rule that you must pull to improve analyses. The tests need to pass on different stages of the diet, to understand your overall condition and make a clear decision, there is a diet you favor, it is worth it to stop. I will say in advance that the same procedure you will do after the diet and will be surprised that your results become much better. Since overweight is not only very aesthetically pleasing, it is also an extra burden on the body.

Everyone needs motivation motivation is important!

A big plus for motivation able to purchase specific products which will help to diversify your meals:

  • sweetener;
  • puddings;
  • syrups sugar;
  • skimmed cocoa;
  • flavors;

A couple of weeks reduce the amount of sugar and salt, as during the start of the diet, we give them up, the word "all".

Substitutes are possible, then they us and help out:

  • gradually transition from bread to tortillas of bran, crispbreads or similar products are permitted diet;
  • count and sum up to the above normal amount of fluid intake;

Du-mayonnaise

Mayo Dukane

Since mayonnaise during a diet is impossible, but to dilute the taste of the food is necessary, because otherwise condition it is fresh, and it can influence your psychological state. But there is a way,so titles du mayonnaise. Cook it very simply:

  • 240 grams of soft cheese
  • teaspoon mustard
  • salt and fructose (read sakharozameniteli)
  • paraffin oil (1 tbsp)
  • Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (1 tbsp)

They put it all in container and mix until smooth-like mayonnaise. And voila, now you can dilute your food with a homemade mayonnaise.

Phase "Cruise" (aka "Striping")

Stage "Cruise" will continue until you reach the desired weight, which you calculated at the beginning of the diet plan demands for your body. Typically, this phase lasts for 1.5 — 5 months. Phase "Cruise" involves the alternation of black-and-white (pure protein) and BO (protein and vegetable) days. Alternate days schemes 1/1, 2/2, 3/3. Dukan recommends a 1/1 because it is the simplest.

A guide to the phase of "Cruise"

phase cruise

The number of BW and BO-days per month should be equal. On average a loss of 1kg in weight, is a week. The number of BW days can't be increased, but can be increased BECAUSE the number of days, for example after a breakdown. After reaching the required weight, you need to immediately go to the next stage.

In the diet on the cruise phase needs strict following of certain rules:

  1. Accept now oat bran 2 tablespoons per day.
  2. If the diet is accompanied by the presence of constipation, are included in the diet wheat bran.
  3. A day drink 2 liters of water or more.
  4. Milk products (yogurt, curd) and so on. not more than 1 kg per day.
  5. 30 minute walk in the fresh air.

Phase alternating weight is reduced to the desired, but once you give up the slack and he immediately starts to return, so despite the feeling of joy, keep yourself in hand and proceed to the next stage.

By hydrating the body (using vegetables and drink 2 litres of water), you may find that you have ceased to lose weight, but you continue to lose weight, it will be noticeable later in the protein day, the water from the body will start to decrease.

All the dishes mentioned in the menu, prepare only Duchnowski recipes.

Phase Of "Consolidation"

phase consolidation

Phase of "consolidation" — the name speaks for itself, this phase allows to consolidate the achieved results, looking ahead to say, it is difficult, as weight is not lost already and it seems that the axis of it, the result is achieved. In fact, it is misleading judgment and do not think in this way. Remember, as soon as you forget about the rules and stages of weight loss, as weight will start to grow again. So keep yourself in hands and do not stop there.

A guide to the phase of "Consolidation" (aka "Consolidation")

Many are interested in the duration of the phase of "consolidation", it directly depends on the amount of weight loss each thrown kilogram is 10 days in the phase "consolidation". Weight loss in this phase, as implied. Normal weight loss phase "consolidation" — about 1 kg a week.

We now proceed directly to the manual:

  • The protein that you have one protein day, as in the phase of "attack". If you make a day, of course you decide, but as this day in your regime will be long, and probably for life, it is better to have it in the middle of the week. EP EP Pierre Dukan recommends Thursday.
  • The product should be consumed every day, as you probably guessed it — oat bran, two tablespoons, as required 2 litres of water a day.
  • Walking at least 30 minutes a day, preferably longer.
  • Monitor the state of their health, because such a diet is stressful to the body. Any stomach pain, immediately go to the doctor.

Phase of "consolidation" is characterized by the presence any longer could. If the two previous phases only 2 conditions, of the products allowed to be used, the other is not, then your conditions almost every day.

A nice bonus is that the unity connection there are days when you can eat your favourite food in any quantity (up), as well as days when you can eat all the vegetables, including the vegetables containing starch.

Every week for the phase of "consolidation", a wine contain days:

  • Protein;
  • Protein from vegetables;
  • Protein with vegetables + products with a starch content;
  • The day when you can eat everything;
  • Other days protein and vegetables;

Suggest to try the following scenario:

  • Monday – protein and vegetables;
  • Tuesday – protein and vegetables with foods that contain starch;
  • Wednesday – protein and vegetables;
  • Thursday – protein;
  • Friday – all you can eat, whether when meeting with friends;
  • Saturday – protein and vegetables;
  • Sunday – protein-vegetable (in the second half of the phase of the day, all you can eat).

For each of these days meals, so try to make an individual menu.

Protein a day — such days are present in all phases of the Dukan diet, it helps to reduce the overweight. During phase 3, animal protein can be eaten with spices and sauces that are allowed in phase 1 the "attack".

In the diet protein day include:

  • poultry, except goose and duck;
  • giblets;
  • fish low in fat;
  • seafood;
  • low-fat milk;
  • eggs (1-2 yolks a day, proteins in any quantity);

  • pepper, tomato, cucumber;
  • mushrooms;
  • eggplant;

  • 50 grams of cheese minimal fat;
  • 200 grams of mctow (with the exception of bananas, dates, raisins);
  • 1 portion of lamb or pork.

Diet expands diet already becomes not so complicated.

Protein and vegetable day with foods containing starch

Here the distinctive feature is the presence of foods containing starch ( "fast" carbohydrate), is:

  • 210 G. bean;
  • 180 g pasta or vermicelli flours of hard grinding;
  • 140 g pasta;
  • 130 g rice;
  • 200 g cous cous;
  • 120 g potatoes baked or boiled;
  • 100 g puree;

Carbohydrate foods are best consumed in the morning, then be as active as possible.

The day when you can eat all

Clearly this is the most pleasant day, all you can eat, and even in one of the meals allowed to drink wine, 1-2 glasses. The rest of the diet of this day is on the principle of protein — vegetable day.

Meals for the day, you need to choose in advance, and choose them so that not just to overeat, but to satisfy their desire of connection, of unity is something forbidden, something that you've always wanted. Just eat everything and how to reach out, it's not a good idea.

If you are afraid to make these, I remember, this is not advice but a rule that is binding.

Phase "Stabilizacja"

Don't underestimate the importance of the final stage of "Duke". "Stabilization" will consolidate the achieved results, gives again to gain unwanted weight, helps to stay slim all my life.

  • Eliminate overeating;
  • Drink two liters of pure water a day;
  • One day in the week should be fasting:protein;

Here is the link unity is more varied menu, as the main part of the diet is passed, and the aim of this phase is to maintain a desired shape. The rules are quite simple:

  • Vegetables eat as much as they will not damage the appearance;
  • Fruits allowed to eat one thing if they are large, for example, an Apple;
  • If it is a smaller fruit, such as, for example, in Mandarin, it is possible the connection of unity there are two pieces;
