The Dukan diet has won an army of fans thanks to its effectiveness. The extensive menu eliminates fasting, making it completely easy to adhere to the Dukan diet without feeling weak or dizzy. Its fundamental principle is the use of strictly permitted products in the menu every day of a certain phase. The main thing is that the weight loss effect lasts for many years if you follow the basic principles of the menu all your life after following the Dukan diet.
Basic rules of the Dukan diet
The basic rules of the Dukan diet are to eat only the foods on the daily menu acceptable for each phase, do regular physical activity (at least 20 minutes every day) and drink plenty of fluids (at least 1. 5 liters of water). purified water every day). Every day, according to the rules of the Dukan diet, you need to 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 extra pounds. 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 greater 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 accumulated fat.
- The alternation phase of the Dukan diet- the main phase in which the desired weight loss result is achieved. In addition to proteins and bran, the daily menu includes complex carbohydrates (most vegetables with the exception of the prohibited ones: potatoes, beans, lentils, corn, kidney beans, peas). The duration of the alternation phase according to the Dukan diet is not limited, that is, you need to follow the shown menu exactly every day until all the extra kilos have disappeared.
- Consolidation phase of the Dukan diet- an important stage in which a person who has lost weight accustoms his body to an updated nutritional system. The menu is significantly expanded every day. The "Consolidation" phase of the Dukan diet lasts based on the calculation of 10 days per 1 kg of weight lost. The menu for each day of this phase consists of protein products, vegetables, fruits, cereals and honey. At this stage it is allowed to consume any food on the menu in unlimited quantities every day, but only during one meal.
- "Stabilization" phase of the Dukan diet- This is the final phase, which ideally should last a lifetime to maintain normal body weight. You can eat according to the principle of the menu of the "Consolidation" phase. Every week it is worth doing 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.
