The Dukan Diet has gained an army of fans due to its effectiveness. The extensive menu eliminates fasting, making it completely easy to follow the Dukan diet without feeling weak or dizzy. Its main principle is the use of products strictly allowed in the menu every day of a certain phase. The main thing is that the effect of weight loss lasts for many years if you adhere to the basic principles of the menu throughout your life after following the Dukan diet.
Basic rules of the Dukan diet
The basic rules of the Dukan diet are to eat only those foods on the menu every day that are acceptable for each stage, as well as regular physical activity (at least 20 minutes every day) and drinking a lot of fluids (at least 1. 5 liters. purified water daily). Every day, according to the rules of the Dukan diet, you should add 1. 5 tablespoons of bran to the menu (you can replace them with buckwheat porridge if you are individually intolerant to the product).
The Dukan Diet is designed for 4 phases: Attack, Alternation, Consolidation, Stabilization.
- Attack phase of the Dukan diet- the most effective, but short-lived phase, during which rapid weight loss is observed. This phase lasts from 3 to 7 days, depending on the amount of excess kilograms. The daily menu in the Attack phase of the Dukan diet contains only protein products. Protein provides a lot of energy and the body's effort to digest it is higher than the calorie content, which contributes to weight loss. The complete exclusion of carbohydrates from the daily menu during this phase forces you to burn the accumulated fat.
- Dukan Diet Alternation Phase- the main stage in which the desired weight loss result is achieved. In addition to proteins and bran, the daily menu includes complex carbohydrates (most vegetables except for those prohibited: potatoes, beans, lentils, corn, beans, peas). The duration of the Alternation phase according to the Dukan diet is not limited, so you must follow the indicated menu every day exactly until all the extra pounds are gone.
- The consolidation phase of the Dukan diet- an important phase in which a person who has lost weight accustoms his body to an updated nutritional system. The menu is greatly expanded every day. The "Consolidation" phase of the Dukan diet lasts, based on the calculation, 10 days per 1 kg of lost weight. The menu for each day of this phase consists of protein products, vegetables, fruits, cereals and honey. In this phase, it is allowed to consume any food on the menu in unlimited quantities every day, but only during one meal.
- The "stabilization" phase of the Dukan diet- This is the final stage, which ideally should last a lifetime to maintain your normal body weight. You can eat according to the principle of the "Consolidation" stage menu. Every week it is worth having a protein fasting day once according to the "Attack" phase. Every day you should include bran in your menu, drink at least 1. 5 liters of water and pay more attention to physical activity.
