Saved 5kg of fat ballast? Dukan's calling for a squirrel attack!

French nutritionist Pierre Dukan became the author of the eponymous diet, which received thousands of enthusiastic reviews. The Dukan diet is mega-popular. More and more people trust her to lose their extra pounds.





And not in vain: after all, already at the first stage of the diet - attack - you can get rid of 5-6 kilograms of fat ballast. This diet fits perfectly into the modern rhythm of life, when high performance and concentration are required throughout the day, which are difficult to achieve by following other low-carb diets.





Dr. Dukan shared his experience in the book “I can not lose weight”, which has sold around the world with a circulation of more than 10 million copies. It is known that his diet helped to lose weight before the wedding to the Duchess of Cambridge, and Jennifer Lopez – to get in shape after childbirth.

The Dukan diet is based on the use of foods containing protein, and a significant decrease in the intake of carbohydrates and fats. Thanks to protein, you will not feel the hunger characteristic of other diets, and a small amount of carbohydrates will relieve excess calories.

As a result, rapid weight loss occurs, and weight loss is carried out by reducing fat, not muscle mass. In parallel, the body improves, the condition of the skin, hair, the work of internal organs.





The diet consists of 4 stages: two stages for weight loss and two to avoid gaining weight again. In the middle between the two stages, the weight loss should reach the desired weight.

Description of the stages of the Dukan diet

1. Attack.
   The stage of the attack is the use of 72 protein products that stimulate the body to use its own reserves: the body will burn fat, and proteins will help preserve muscle and bone tissue. In the diet, 1.5 tablespoons of oat bran, at least 1.5 liters of liquid, onions, garlic and seasonings should be present daily. Sweets are strictly forbidden.
   
   At this stage, a slight deterioration in well-being is possible: this means that the body uses a reserve in the form of adipose tissue. Therefore, the stage of attack has strict time limits.
   
   The duration of this stage is determined by the number of extra pounds: up to 5 kg - 1-2 days will be enough; from 5 to 10 kg of excess weight - the attack is prolonged to 3-5 days; more than 10 kg - 5-7 days.

2. Alternation
   It is at the end of the “alternating” stage that you achieve the desired weight. At this stage, protein days alternate with protein and vegetable days. Possible variants of the alternation scheme: 1/1, 3/3, 5/5. It should be noted that with excess weight over 10 kg, the scheme becomes unambiguous - 5/5, that is, 5 days of protein food are replaced by 5 days of protein and vegetable diet. At the "alternating" stage, 2 tablespoons of oat bran should be consumed per day.
   
   The duration of the stage depends on the weight lost in the first stage: 1 kg of weight loss during the attack = 10 days of alternation. For example, if you lost 3 kg in the first stage, the duration of the alternation will be 30 days.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Fixing
   This stage is designed to consolidate the achieved weight. During this period, potatoes, rice and pasta can be introduced into the diet in small quantities, which were previously strictly prohibited, in addition, at this stage, one fruit per day is allowed to be eaten (excluding bananas, grapes and sweet cherries). The duration of this stage is calculated in the same way as for the 2nd stage: 1 lost kilogram = 10 days in the 3rd phase. The consumption of oat bran increases to 2.5 tablespoons per day.
   
   At this stage 2 times a week you can afford anything, even sweets, but only instead of breakfast, lunch or dinner. Potatoes, rice, corn, peas, beans, pasta and other starch-containing products can be consumed 2 times a week.
   
   One day a week should remain purely protein, it is best if you decide for yourself in advance what day it will be. Pierre Dukan recommends making Thursday a protein day.

Doctors note that those who undergo the Pierre Dukan diet and are simultaneously under medical supervision have reduced immunity. Due to the lack of fat in the diet, the menstrual cycle can be lost.
