Pierre Dukan is a French nutritionist with forty research experiences in dietetics.In the early 70s, he began to work to create weight loss techniques that could work for each patient-not to calculate the problems that caused obesity.
After publishing the book "I don't know how to lose weight" (which, however, is not the first), the glory of the world comes to Dukan.The followers of his system, who managed to lose weight, are calculated in tens of thousands worldwide.To date, Pierre Dukan has released 19 books with regular accounts, translated into more than 10 languages and sold by millions.
Ducan's diet is not temporary.The meaning of this technique is that heavy people who want to maintain their results must adhere to certain rules in lifelong nutrition.There are many clubs and forums where food people are in the opinion and recipe of Ducan exchange, as well as a moral support beginner who decides to start a normal way of normalizing weight.
General Principles of Ducan Diet

The slogan that helps promote the system - "Eat as much as you want," meet the basic principles of the system.The portation is completely not normalized, but restrictions involving the product itself, gas stations, spices and cooking methods, which still require you for your own organization and certain will.The first thing to do to everyone who wants to lose weight according to the Ducan method is to take tests on the official website to determine their perfect weight.
There is also a period of each stage of weight loss until day.This test takes into account not only the easiest principles of determining normal weight, such as the "growth-chirin-wrist-wrist" ratio, but also more personal factors: what are the minimum and maximum weight, there are children and how long, how long.
The Dikan diet consists of 4 parts - phases - each performs clear functionality in the process of normalization and weight stabilization: "attack", "cruise", "consolidation" ("setting") and "stabilization".Although normal weight loss, as a rule, is between the second and third diet periods, the last two phases are needed to stabilize weight and unify life -based foods.
For each phase, the allowed and prohibited products are allocated, however, a product - oat bran - it is mandatory to use in the first three stages of each day.Also, subject to the Dikan diet, it is necessary to reduce the consumption of salt as much as possible and increase the amount of water to 2 or more liters daily.This will help eliminate excess moisture from the body and accelerate the fat burning process.
The Ducan diet is built in such a way to regulate significant weight loss in the first stage, and then achieve a 1 kg weight loss per week.Based on this, the entire weight loss system is built.This diet is a tight protein, which is clear in the first stage.Protein products are allowed to eat almost without restrictions, but with fat and carbohydrates fast you need to separate almost completely - until the third phase.
This has its weaknesses, which, as a rule, are not protected at the nutritional site, and we will talk a little later.In addition, the prerequisite for weight loss according to the Ducan system is an increase in physical activity, minimum period and intensity set at each level individually.The brief naming of the basic principles of the Ducan method is as follows:
- The preparation of personal schemes of weight loss depends on the characteristics of the individual;
- The provision of four diet periods, which covers both the period of normalization and lifelong control;
- Mostly protein and protein-vegetable diets;
- Long diet duration, as this plan, although it can be used by people who are not important, still designed for patients with different levels of obesity;
- Smooth weight loss - 1 kg per week;
- Alcohol, sugar, starch products and sweet fruits with high sugar content are completely prohibited;
- The presence of physical activity;
- Salt restrictions;
- Daily use of oats;
- Food without restrictions;
- Fat exceptions and almost complete products that postpone water at all levels of weight loss.
Now that we look at the overview of the Ducan method, it's time to look closer and understand the details.
How long will the diet last?
As mentioned earlier, the individual weight loss scheme can be calculated by passing the test on the official website.However, the budget plan (depending on how many pounds you want to lose, and given the last phase of life) will look like this:
- 5 kg: 2 days - attack, 15 days - cruise, 50 days - unification;
- 10 kg: 3 - attack, 50 - cruise, 100 - consolidation;
- 15 kg: 4, 85, 150;
- 20 kg: 5, 120, 200;
- 25 kg: 7, 155, 250;
- 30 kg: 7, 190, 300;
- 40 kg: 9, 250, 400;
- 50 kg: 10, 330, 500;
- etc.

- Walk at least one hour a day for 3-7 days, depending on how much you fall.

Initially, you may experience inhibition, drowsiness, deterioration of cognitive function and mood.If you have problems with the digestive system, think twice.Before switching to a protein diet, you must consult a doctor who observes your illness, or other competent specialist.Keep in mind that some hormones are also sensitive to protein in the diet.
If you have problems with pancreatic hormones or pituitary glands, seek advice to your endocrinologist.Also, the absolute diet is not suitable for pregnant women - it not only strengthens some of the difficulties that exist in this situation, but also unbalanced.During pregnancy and breastfeeding, if you are afraid to gain weight, just go to a healthy diet for pregnant women, which takes into account not only your problems with weight, but also fetal needs.
