The Dukan diet can change your life for the better. It certainly changed mine. After five days on the Dukan diet I had lost 4lbs, the easiet 4lbs I had ever lost in my life. During those five short days on the Dukan diet, I never felt hungry, never had food cravings and I ate as much as I wanted. Anyone who tries the Dukan diet for five days will see why it is so popular.
Dr. Pierre Dukan, developed his revolutionary diet in Paris (ever wondered how the Parisian women manage to stay so slim?) and his diet sometimes goes by the nick-name 'The Paris diet'. In the ten years French men and women have been using the Dukan diet over 1.5 million people have seen dramatic weight loss success. These men and women changed not only their diet but their lives.
Now it is time for you to learn the secrets of the Dukan diet and discover the life-changing impact of fast and easy weight loss.
During the Dukan diet you pass through four phases
The Dukan diet is a high protein and low carb diet. This is nothing new, there have been many such diets touted as revolutionary in the past. Dr. Dukan's diet is different in that the dieter passes through four separate phases in which vegetables, then bread, cheese and potatoes are introduced. In the third phase of the diet you can even have two meals a week of whatever you want. Have a meal in restaurant with a couple of glasses of wine if you like, you'll deserve it after all that weight you've lost! In the final phase of the diet the only thing you have to commit to is one protein only day a week. Dr. Dukan suggests Thursday in his book and apparently, if you enter a restaurant in Paris on a Thursday you'll see many slim women (and men) eating protein only meals.
The attack phase. The first phase of the Dukan diet is a protein only phase. Dieters eat only high protein foods, such as grilled steak, chicken, fish, low fat yogurt, etc. Depending on the weight loss goals, the attack phase lasts from 2-7 days. As a rule of thumb, someone who wanted to lose between 20-40lbs would have an attack phase of 5 days and would lose 4-6lbs. I wanted to lose 21lbs and I lost 4lbs during my attack phase. During the attack, the dieter can eat as much as they want of any of the allowed foods. I enjoyed grilled streaks and ate bowls of smoked salmon and cottage cheese.
The Cruise phase. The next phase allows the dieter to reintroduce vegetables (except starchy vegetables like potatoes, beans, corn, etc). During the cruise phase the dieter alternates cycles of days that are protein only (like the attack days) and protein and vegetables. I choose three days of protein and vegetables followed three days of protein only. It is possible to alternate daily if you prefer. You can expect to lose around 2-3lb a week, eating as much as you want and due to the high protein content never feel hungry. The lack of hunger and food-cravings is remarkable!
The Consolidation phase. Most people know by now that the problem with a rapid weight loss diet is the rapid putting back on of weight when they are over. As a nutritionist, Dr. Dukan knows this well and understands the causes. This is while he built into his diet a consolidation phase. This crucial phase allows the dieter's body to get used to the steadily increasing variety of foods eaten after the diet. During this phase the dieter can reintroduce foods like potatoes, cheese, bread, and fruit as well as have two guilt free meals a week without restriction!
The Stabilization phase. This final phase lasts for the rest of your life. Or for as long as you want to remain your ideal weight! Before you panic at this level of commitment - the only thing you have to do is eat one protein only day a week. The rest of the time you can eat whatever you like.
The Dukan diet allows dieters to lose weight fast and keep the weight off without ever feeling hungry or craving food. The diet also teaches the dieter to enjoy foods they previously avoided. On the Dukan diet you will learn to delight in the taste of fresh fruit and vegetables and enjoy the taste of herbs and spices rather than fatty and sugary sauces. The Dukan diet truly is life changing in that not only do you get to lose weight but you get a fresh start with food.
You should always consult a doctor before embarking on a radical diet.
