The Dukan diet has gained an army of followers due to its effectiveness. The extensive menu eliminates fasting, making it completely easy to adhere to the Dukan diet without feeling weak or dizzy. Its main principle is the use of products that are strictly permitted on 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 throughout your life after following the Dukan diet.
Basic rules of the Dukan diet
The basic rules of the Dukan diet are to eat every day only those foods on the menu that are acceptable for each phase, as well as practicing regular physical activity (at least 20 minutes every day) and drinking plenty of fluids (at least 1. 5 liters of purified water every day). Every day, according to the rules of the Dukan diet, it is necessary 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 menu for each day of 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 caloric content, which contributes to weight loss. The complete exclusion of carbohydrates from the daily menu at this stage forces you to burn accumulated fat.
- The alternation phase of the Dukan diet- the main stage at which the desired weight loss result is achieved. In addition to proteins and bran, the daily menu includes complex carbohydrates (most vegetables, except prohibited ones: potatoes, beans, lentils, corn, beans, peas). The duration of the alternation phase according to the Dukan diet is not limited, that is, you must exactly follow the menu shown every day until all the extra pounds disappear.
- 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 greatly expanded every day. The "Consolidation" stage of the Dukan diet lasts based on the calculation of 10 days for every 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 "Consolidation" phase menu. Every week it is worth doing a protein fasting day once in accordance with the "Attack" phase. Every day you should include bran in your menu, drink at least 1. 5 liters of water and pay increased attention to physical activity.
