For many residents of this or that country, obesity is a major problem. For some, the struggle lasts a lifetime, some "float" back and forth and lose and gain kilos again, but some still reach their ideal weight and keep it with all their efforts throughout.
And for those who are tired of looking at the scale arrow and sighing desperately, unable to overcome the fat layer on the abdomen and cellulite on the thighs, there is a universal salvation and this is Pierre Ducan's diet. Have you heard of her? Yes, maybe this is all, because it is popular in Europe, but the CIS countries did not know anything about it or have only small grains of information. This diet is a salvation from boring rice, buckwheat, kefir and other monodietes that provide an imaginary weight loss. The diet is varied, it is ideal for those who like to eat deliciously without being lazy in preparing their own food.
The motto of the diet is "Eat as much as you want! "
Tempting, isn't it? It turns out that food will not be an enemy, but an assistant in the fight against calories and fat, and this is important.
A few words about the author of the diet, do you need to know the world savior from extra pounds? !
Pierre Dukan is a famous French nutritionist, a doctor who has been actively studying products and their effect on the body for 30 years. Working with such a concept as eating behavior, he was able to uncover the secret behind ideal weight as well as the way to achieve it.
Pierre Ducan is the author of 19 books, which are the fruits of his many years of experience and practice, but the most important is his miracle bestseller "I do not know how to lose weight", which was published in 2011, but which is already actively read by allhis fans who want to lose weight without health damage and forever! The book has been translated into several languages and is sold in more than ten countries around the world.
Dr. Ducan's diet is based on the consumption of protein foods, which are easily absorbed by the body and help to lose weight. At the same time, the body is cleansed, all toxins and toxins are removed, the metabolism is excellent. The most important products in the diet are meat, fish, vegetables and most importantly bran. The most attractive and convincing is the duration of the diet, it depends on the number of kilos of excess weight, the time it takes for them to leave and the characteristics of the body.
Before starting the Ducan diet, it is worth knowing your optimal weight that you should strive for. This can be done using services that are easy to find on the Internet. You will be able to enter all the necessary parameters (current weight, desired weight, weight loss attempts, height, pregnancy, etc. ) and get the number to your ideal weight. As you can see, everything is individual. Plus, you will receive a "ruler" that helps you follow the diet in stages: each step is calculated according to the duration and weight loss, which very easily allows you to control the duration of the weight loss.
So let’s move on to the phases where the Ducan diet is divided. There are four of them. More on each.
Step 1 called "Attack"
Based on the name, one can understand that we will attack the extra pounds and provoke their rapid and significant losses. This is the shortest and most progressive period in Dr. Ducan's diet. The duration is calculated as follows:
- If the extra 5 kg or less - "Attack" lasts a few days.
- Do you have 5-10 extra pounds? Then we will attack kilos for 3-5 days.
- If more than 10 kg is extra, the stage is delayed for 5-7 days, yes, a maximum of 10.
During this period, you can only eat protein: meat, fish, low-fat dairy products and eggs. During all this time, up to 6 kg of weight can go by without much effort.
Now more about the products with which we will attack the weight.
You can eat:
- Any lean meat: veal, rabbit, beef, horsemeat (all meat except entrecote and fileshki), rabbit. Pork and lamb are taboo! Cooked without a gram of oil.
- Liver, kidneys, lungs - all beef, veal, poultry by-products and the tip of the beef tongue.
- Any bird other than a duck and a goose should be without skin.
- Skin without skin with a fat content of 2 to 4 percent.
- Any fish, regardless of the cooking method.
- Fish and shellfish.
- Eggs, but not more than 2 egg yolks, white can be unlimited. If you have high cholesterol levels, reduce your egg yolk to 3-4 a week.
- Low fat dairy products. You can also milk powder 0% fat, but not more than 3 tbsp. l. in a day.
All this is worth cooking without adding oil and fat you can eat whenever you want, as much as you want, calorie counting does not take place.
Some foods should be consumed in moderation:
- coffee and any tea;
- vinegar and soy sauce;
- all vegetables, caraway seeds, a maximum of one and a half onions a day and other spices;
- gelatin, baking powder, yeast and agar-agar;
- a few cucumbers, can be used as a spice clock;
- lemon juice for dressing;
- salt and mustard - very little, otherwise excess water does not leave the body;
- sugar substitutes without calorie content (not fructose, glucose and sorbitol);
- diet drinks;
- you can eat 8 crab sticks;
- Mono oil can be used as paraffin oil (1 tbsp. l. ) because it is not high in calories, it encloses the intestines so it normalizes its work and stools are improved. Do not use for frying, do not heat, ideally - dressing for salads.
In any case, it is imperative:
- Eat 1, 5 tbsp. l. oat bran a day.
- Light gymnastics and daily 20 minute walks.
- Drink 2 liters of water (tea, coffee counter).
If you get a bad taste in your mouth, do not worry about a bad smell, this is an absolutely acceptable phenomenon and indicates that you are on the right track. You can proceed to the second phase.
Step 2 - Alternative or cruise
This step lasts until the arrow on the scale shows you the desired, optimal shape. The distinctive feature of this period is that protein days alternate with protein-vegetable days.
Pierre Ducan's diet offers to choose independently - 1/1, 2/2 or 5/5. For people with a large overweight, it is recommended to adhere to the 5/5 scheme, for those who have a small surplus, 1/1 is optimal, so it will be easier for the body and you.
List of prohibited vegetables (starchy and not only):
Avocado, all legumes, non-green beans, peas, corn, potatoes, lentils, olives and olives and all types of grains and pastas. Artichoke has not yet been identified in any product group, so use should be minimized.
All other vegetables can be, only carrots and beets should be eaten in small amounts as they contain sugar. For a change, you can include 1 tablespoon in the diet. l. tomato puree (ketchup) and 0% yogurt with fruit.
For cooking you can use all products from the "Attack" phase, which must be eaten there in moderation.
The innovations are as follows:
- Bran we now eat 2 tbsp. l. in a day.
- If necessary, then a species. l. wheat bran helps with constipation.
- Dairy products should not weigh more than 1 kg, check this.
- Water is the same 2 liters.
- And now you have to walk for at least half an hour.
Thanks to the exchange of proteins with vegetables, you allow yourself to normalize the metabolism, water will leave the body, remove toxins, toxins, fat and salt. As soon as you notice that the arrow on the scales has become the beloved number, move on to the scene called "Consolidation".
Step 3 - "Consolidation" or "Securing Weight"
This phase will help you consolidate the results obtained and it will last based on the lost kg. That is, if you lost 5 kg in the second phase, consolidation will last 50 days, 10 kg - 100 days, etc. It turns out for a lost kilogram in 10 days from the 3rd stage.
After going through the two previous stages, do you want variety and something new? You are welcome! You can now afford 40 grams of hard cheese that does not contain more than 40% fat in dry matter. The lower the percentage of fat, the more cheese you can eat.
You can also have a few slices of rye bread, a unit of fruit (except banana, cherries, cherries and grapes) and a few slices of watermelon or melon.
As for meat, you can now eat fried pork, bacon and lamb in any quantity.
And a few more bonuses: Now you can lean on a portion of starchy vegetables once a week and arrange a "belly party", which allows you to eat any first, second and dessert (an aperitif - a glass of wine with cheese). But all this must be eaten in a meeting for breakfast or lunch.
Now we split the whole scene in two. For example, stick to consolidation for 80 days. The first part - 40 days: you can get a serving of starchy and a "party" a week, but the next 40 days you can eat party and eat starchy a few times a week.
What do we mean by starchy? Here is the list and the permitted consumption quantity:
- Pasta. They can be eaten at approx. 220 gr. Dressing with natural tomato paste with onion or crush with a little parmesan cheese.
- Whole wheat as well as couscous and wheat bulgur and allowed in an amount of 200 gr.
- Lenses. It can be 200-220 grams, it helps stabilize the weight due to the content of slow carbohydrates.
- Beans, peas and chickpeas are very nutritious and you can have a few of them too.
- Rice and potatoes should be eaten very rarely in small portions of 125 grams each (potatoes should be in their uniform). Whole grain rice can be consumed in an amount of 220 grams.
What not to do:
- arrange two parties in a row
- require a supplement - have a sense of proportion
Choose yourself one day a week, so to speak, a reading protein, so that all excess calories can easily disappear and let this day always be the same, for example - Thursday.
Bran should now be eaten up to 2, 5 tbsp. l. a day and walk at least 25 minutes a day.
Step 4 - "Stabilization"
Well, now we have come to the last stage called "Stabilization".
It has some rules that are adhered to that you will not gain weight in your entire life, the most important thing is to just abide by them.
- Eat as before, but check the amount of food. Better more protein and vegetables, do not overdo it with fruits, cheeses, breads and starchy foods.
- Be true to a protein fasting day and the weight will never come back.
- Water not less than 2 liters.
- Take a walk every day for at least 20 minutes.
- Go more, forget about elevators, escalators, and if you can, get off the minibus to the bus stop earlier / later and go home / work. Check it works!
- Bran you need to eat 3 tbsp. l. a day and every day.
