All stages of the Dukan protein diet - a detailed description

This diet works faster than others and is completely safe for the body. Always edible products - all natural.

Dukan's diet

The diet is good because you can eat an unlimited amount of allowed foods. This allows you to get rid of hunger, which is very important for many people. Thanks to the large range of products recommended for consumption, it is very easy to create a varied and tasty menu.

The only drawback is the high price of the products offered, although you can choose a detailed menu for different segments of the population. Certain vitamin deficiencies can also occur, but this can be easily overcome by taking various vitamin complexes. The result is visible in the first days. Excess weight disappears quickly due to the burning of fat and the retention of muscle mass. Skin, nails and hair are in good condition.

Stages

The process of losing weight in this diet consists of four stages:

1. "Attack. "
2. "Alternative".
3. "Fixation".
4. "Stabilization. "

The amount of time allocated for the first three stages directly depends on how many kilograms of excess weight you need to lose.

It is important! In the "attack" phase, you can only eat protein foods, there is nothing else. After that, the range will increase. In the second stage, vegetables are added, and in the third, fruits.

But there are rules that must be followed at all four stages.

1. You need to drink about one and a half liters of still water every day, eat three tablespoons of oat bran.
2. It is recommended to completely exclude fat, butter and mayonnaise from your regular menu.
3. Products should be boiled, cooked, fried or added to a special non-stick pan without adding oil.
4. Daily walks in the fresh air are also recommended.

"Attack"

This is the first step in the Dukan Diet. The duration varies from three to ten days. The number of days is determined by the weight you plan to lose. Thus, for example, the time to remove about 30 kg for the attack phase should be about ten days. During an attack, the body receives a large amount of protein, which speeds up the metabolism and the fat disappears very quickly.

You can eat: lean beef, skinless chicken, fish, liver, boiled eggs, rabbit, mussels, shrimp, squid, crayfish and lean dairy products.

Not allowed to use:

• plant products;
• pork and lamb;
• sauces, ketchup and mustard.

At this stage it is very important not to forget about fluids and drink the right amount.

It is recommended to eat whenever you want and not limit yourself to quantity. At the beginning of the stage, people often feel a slight discomfort. In this case, heavy physical force should be avoided.

"Alternative"

At this stage, protein products are replaced by protein-vegetable products. The number of alternate days, as well as during the attack phase, depends on the weight lost. In this case, the sequence should not exceed five days of protein and the same amount of protein and vegetables. And since there are so many days in the alternate phase, you have to be extremely careful.

It is important! Dr. Dukan considers the 1: 1 ratio to be the most optimal sequence.

1. You can not eat potatoes, avocados, corn and all legumes.
2. It is also forbidden to consume grains and all kinds of cereals.

It is recommended to cook, bake or simply eat vegetables. Just keep in mind that, unlike protein foods, vegetables can be eaten in limited quantities. Dressing salads should be seasoned with low-fat yogurt or kefir, sometimes balsamic vinegar.

It is perfectly normal for the weight to go a little slower than in the first stage, but there is no harm to the body. Such weight loss is safe and stable.

"fixation"

Almost everything is clear from the name of the scene. There is a consolidation of all the results already achieved during the diet. It is easy to calculate the duration for everyone on a diet. For every kilogram lost in the first two stages, ten days of fixation is required.

It is allowed to add one fruit and a small piece of low-fat cheese in the diet per day. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this stage, because often during the consolidation period, people recover all the kilograms they lost in the previous stages. It turns out that after relaxation, weight loss returns to previous eating habits.

The period becomes difficult, the feeling of constant hunger intensifies, fatigue increases and you become more sensitive to the cold. However, all these symptoms disappear as soon as a person saves time.

It is important! The third stage is pleasant, there are two days a week where you are allowed to eat almost anything you want.

There are just a few rules you need to follow.

1. The duration of the entire consolidation period must be calculated correctly. Protein and vegetable products can be eaten as much as you want and in unlimited quantities.
2. It is worth leaving one day a week to eat only protein foods. It is very important to eat foods that were previously forbidden in small portions, in this amount and then get used to it.
3. Potatoes and pasta are great for this stage, which goes well with tomatoes and onions.

"Stabilization"

The body has become accustomed to the new weight, has passed the period of adaptation and has stopped trying to regain lost weight. The main thing at this stage is to get used to the simple rules of nutrition, and now they must always be followed. It is not difficult to do this after a long diet.

It is worth deciding for a day for protein products. Just choose any day of the week and make it a rule that this day is just protein. Reduce consumption of fish and fruits, potatoes are recommended not more than twice a week. Of course, do not forget about sports. It will never be unnecessary.
