Diet Diets

The term "diet" is most associated with hard restrictions on food, tiring hunger and inability to treat yourself at least sometimes with your favorite foods. There is an opinion that all delicious foods in the definition are useless.

In this opinion, Pierre Ducan, a French nutritionist, decided to argue with this opinion. He proposes a method of weight loss, which is gaining popularity worldwide thanks to the efficiency and at least the opportunity to eat a variety of tastes. Let's know the basic principles of the French doctor's diet.

The essence and principle of diet pierre ducan

Over the years, Ducan developed and diluted his methodology to patients who had difficulty losing weight and holding the results. The system is a low protein diet, but it is curious that Ducan leaves the usual rules of this type of diet. He placed the following basic principles as the basis of the power circuit created:

• "No" retail restrictions. Long lists of prohibited products are deprived of diet and lead to frequent damage. For its diet, Ducan has developed a list of hundreds of allowed products that can be combined with each other and provides regular dishes from them.
• "No" restrictions on calorie content. Observing patients, French nutritionists are aware that daily calorie content restrictions work as long as one observes a diet. Back to normal nutrition reduces every effort to zero. Therefore, instead of restrictions, it is best not to use products that collect extra calories.
• Nutrition and sports. Abandonment of physical activity causes a "highland effect" known when weight reaches a certain point and freezes. To prevent this from happening, it is essential to introduce frequent physical activity. To do this, there is no need to rip on the gym and run a marathon. Ducan offers to do at least daily training, light gymnastics and long walks.

• Secret Material. In the process of developing its system, Ducan recorded the valuable nature of wheat broth. Since then, Bran is an important component of nutrition. They not only have high nutritional value, but also clean the digestive tract by products.

The Ducan diet consists of several stages (phases). Each of them has its own characteristics, duration and responsibility for a specific process that occurs in the body. To get the necessary effectiveness, Ducan clearly recommends the recommendations at each stage of the diet.

It is important to pay attention to the preparation of the diet. Because protein nutrition can affect your health, before the start of your diet, you should definitely consult a specialist and undergo examination. In the absence of violations and health conditions allow you to eat on a diet, it is recommended to take regular tests and monitor liver and kidney work, as well as cholesterol levels in the blood.

The main advantages and disadvantages

Unlike the same power system, Ducan's diet has an important advantage:

• No need to note the amount of daily calories, weigh the product, calculate the size of the part;
• Many products are allowed from which a delicious and varied menu is obtained;
• Large amounts of protein for a long time maintain a sense of saturation, protect against muscle mass loss, help maintain elasticity;
• a long period of time and the final thinking of the diet to maintain the results achieved without any problems;
• Lack of sugar substitutes allows desserts to provide, which prevents damage and the desire to heat the dish with regular sugar;
• Subject to all suggestions, weight and stable volume.

The weakness of the Ducan diet for weight loss should also be mentioned:

• Protein is used in large quantities and negatively affects the condition of the liver, kidneys and blood vessels;
• Dietary imbalance in the diet of protein limits the acceptance of minerals and vitamins needed;
• The transition to the new power system can be accompanied by side effects such as weakness, dizziness, concentration, headache;
• A small number of fibers cause problems such as bloating, constipation, gastrointestinal tract infringement.

To minimize negative eyes, you need to take care of vitamin-mineral supplements, high quality fiber (bran) and do not forget about timely analysis and consultation with your doctor.

Ducan diet phase

The Ducan diet consists of phase attacks, replacement, setting, stabilization.

• Attack. First and phases are intended to activate the metabolic processes in the body. As a result of the attack phase, metabolism is activated from the first day. During the attack, it is allowed to eat only protein products. Continuous levels from 2 days to a week.
• Replacement. This phase is otherwise called "cruise", it involves the replacement of protein days from the day on protein and carbohydrates. The menu adds vegetables and vegetables, except to master the starch. Ducan himself considers the ideal diagram of "one to one" -day of protein food with protein day -carbohydrate day. The cruise level lasts until the desired weight is achieved.

• Unification or consolidation. The most important level that allows you to maintain reduced weight and no longer get lost pounds. The period is calculated based on the number of pounds lost at the attack and replacement stage, multiplied by ten. For example, when you lose 15 kg, it is 150 days to eat according to the rules for consolidation. Long new products are added: cheese, fruits, slow carbohydrates (cereal bread), starch -controlled vegetables. It is no longer needed for alternative days, but this week the menu must be present one day of protein.
• Stabilization. The last 4 stage lasted throughout his life, but watching him, after passing the first three stages, would not be difficult. This is no longer a diet, but just a set of suggestions on proper nutrition. Drink enough water every day, push fast food and sugar, be sure to take 3 tablespoons. Oats branches daily and once a week to regulate protein nutrition, as in the attack phase.

The total duration of all levels of the Ducan diet depends on the original weight and the desired outcome. Calculation of diet duration can be done in a special calculator.
