If you ever visited France, then you will surely agree that it is very rare to meet a French lady among the French women. Perhaps this secret of harmony lies in the newly proposed diet by the French doctor - nutritionist Pierre Ducant.
Doctor Dukan's Diet
In our time it is quite difficult to surprise people in new ways in the fight against obesity. However, this was done by Dr. Pierre Ducant more than 10 years ago. Having ventured to introduce the system of losing weight developed by him to the world, he achieved success, since the diet was not in starvation, but in the use of protein products. Enthusiastic reviews of the first beneficiaries of this diet were not long in coming, and Dr. Dukan's book "Je ne sais pas maigrir" ("I do not know how to diet") gained incredible popularity.
The diet of Dr. Pierre Ducane caused a lot of disagreement, she had her fans, as well as opponents of this diet. This method of diet was recognized in various countries around the world, and took the line in the list of the most effective diets.
The essence of Pierre Ducan's diet
The diet is based on lean protein foods, while the amount of carbohydrates consumed should be limited. For the effectiveness of losing weight, the diet is divided into four stages, which help to control weight and edit the menu. For each stage there are inherent rules that must be strictly observed:
- Water should not be less than 1.5 liters a day;
- Every day you need to eat oat bran;
- Daily in the morning do an easy exercise and at least a day to make a 20-30-minute walk.
Due to what the Ducane diet works
Since in this diet the rate is made on proteins and the consumption of fats and carbohydrates is reduced, the process of intensive formation of the products of under-oxidation of fats is started in the body. A slight rise in the level of these products of non-oxidation of fats causes a decrease in appetite and as a result, fats begin to melt at an incredible rate.
The diet regime of Dr. Pierre Ducan
Pierre Duccan recommended a four-phase regimen of weight loss. The duration of a diet depends on how many kilograms you want to say goodbye.
The first phase of the diet (Attack)
The duration of this phase is determined by the weight you want to discard. If you need to lose ten to twenty kilograms, then the stage should last no more than three to five days. In case there is a need to lose twenty to thirty kilograms, then the Attack phase should not be longer than five to seven days. If thirty or more kilograms, then no more than seven to ten days. Without any restrictions you can eat: turkey, chicken, fish, lean ham, seafood, eggs, fat-free dairy products, including various spices, onions, vinegar, garlic, a little salt. Cook the food only for a couple or boil. You should definitely eat one and a half tablespoons of oat bran daily. It is forbidden to eat sugar and alcohol.
The second phase of the diet (Cruise)
This phase will last until the moment when your weight is considered ideal. In the diet there are some changes, the proteins are diluted with vegetable compounds. If the weight that you think is superfluous, not more than ten kilograms, then it is necessary to alternate protein days with protein and vegetable, and if excess weight exceeds this bar, three protein days and three protein-vegetable days should be alternated. Without any boundaries, you can consume protein products from the above described "Attack" phase, as well as boiled or baked vegetables, adzhika, spices, garlic. Be sure to eat two tablespoons of oat bran daily. Prohibited products such as: avocados, peas, potatoes, beans, as these vegetables contain starch. Bonus at this stage will be the opportunity to drink half a glass of red or white wine, a little lean cocoa or soda lime.
The third phase of the diet (Fastening)
Calculate the duration of the phase can be as follows: ten days for one kilogram of lost weight (36 .5 kg = year). There are permissible unlimited all products of the first and second phase, two pieces of cheese and bread a day, as well as fruit. Two and a half tablespoons of oat bran should be present in the ration. Prohibited are the same products as: bananas, cherries, grapes. Bonus in this phase will be the opportunity to eat anything twice a week, just need to do it for one meal.
The fourth phase of the diet (Stabilization)
It is advisable to continue this phase throughout life. All products are allowed to use without restrictions, but it would not hurt to eat once a week under the menu of the first phase. Be sure to eat 3 tablespoons of oat bran daily.
