Five days on Dukan's diet – minus three kilograms before a holiday

They say, a half of women of Great Britain is captured by the ideas of doctor Pierre Doucan now. Less than in a week it is possible to change and without being afraid to appear on the best beaches of the world in magnificent trend monokin. "Seven pounds in five days!" – urge newspaper and journal headings to follow the recommendations of a new diet. And in kilograms it is more than three!

To a diet the fact that mother Kate Middleton declared to the press that Dukan's diet was its main food allowance before the daughter's wedding was of particular interest.



"I kept to Dukan's diet only 4 days, and during this time lost 4 pounds!" - the 56-year-old woman was frank. 4 pounds are slightly less than two kilograms. Journalists right there started up a whisper, as both daughters of Carol Middleton (Kate and Pippa) also keep to a magic diet. And these conjectures brought to Great Britain a so-called new wave of hobby for Dukan's diet because now everything that is connected with the royal family, makes improbable popularity and success in England.

It should be noted that the first wave of popularity was noted in 2000. Then doctor Dukan published the book based on long-term researches and observations which became the best-seller. Already later such celebrities as actress Jennifer Lopez, Penelope Crous, the singer Katherine Jenkins carried a message about the miracle diet based on the high content of protein and low content of fats worldwide. Jennifer Lopez said that Dukan's diet helped it to sblansirovat the rotundities, Penelope Crous admitted that she effectively lost weight after the daughter's birth, keeping to this diet. And in the 2010th year Dukan's diet was called "a diet of year".

The French doctor Pierre Doucan of 20 years was engaged with the patients having obesity. The well-known diet of Doucan became result of it also.

The central place in fight against excess weight in the Dukana system is existence of pleasure derived from food, and pleasure from consumption of natural products. Them, in opinion, Dukana, it is possible to eat in unlimited number.

And now the special offer from doctor Dukan – a five-day diet to lose weight to the beach more than by 3 kilograms! Experts consider that even those who have no problems with weight can use plans of food of Dukan, it will help to unload an organism and to balance it after days off when many traditionally eat more carbohydrates.

1. We reduce amount of carbohydrates. According to Dukan, we eat too many carbohydrates which are especially refined (white loaf, pasta, rice) which are not useful to health. We replace them with proteins, it will lead to healthier food.

2. Five days are in fact the first phase of the main diet Dukana which is calculated on 4 phases.

3. The first five days is a short phase of the attack on weight. It is recommended not to eat anything, except protein (meat, fish, eggs), and unlike Atkins's diet, the dairy products but only fat-free or with the low content of fat are resolved. This push which sets the tone for other stages of a diet Dukana gives fast loss of weight. Many lose for these five days much, more than 3 kilograms of weight. This stage Dukan also advises all who need to be prepared for a beach season urgently. And we continue a travel on Dukan's diet.

4. However the main idea of a diet of Dukan is not only loss of weight, but also arrival to that excess weight never returned. For this purpose there are other three stages.

5. In the first five-day phase avocado, nuts and sunflower seeds are forbidden. It is necessary to try to include in a diet fat fish (to 2 portions a week for women and up to 4 portions a week – for men and elderly women). It will give you the necessary amounts of fats and fat-soluble vitamins.

6. The second phase – we add to a diet from the first phase unlimited number of salads and vegetables. In this phase it is possible to begin meal with salad or soup, then is meat or fish with vegetables. At this stage it is worth being until you do not lose one-two kilograms yet. As a rule, it is no more than a week.

7. Further weight can begin to increase again. Therefore do not miss the beginning of the third phase, a so-called stage of consolidation. In addition to unlimited number of protein and salads (or vegetables), we add fruit (one fruit a day), bread (two slices), cheese and starchy products (pasta, in moderate quantities). The stage of consolidation lasts five days. It allows a body to get used to a new diet, without putting on weight.

8. One-two times a week Dukan recommends to organize to herself "celebrations" with alcohol, oil, bread, chocolate. It will help not to have habitual sense of guilt, consuming what you love. "Holidays" - some of the fundamental principles in Dukan's diet, it is impossible to miss them.

9. The fourth stage – stabilization. Eat and drink everything what is wanted without restrictions. Only one reservation: Thursday – proteinaceous day. This day we eat according to the plan of the first five-day stage. In other days we eat as the Dukana system taught (less carbohydrates, are more than proteins and vegetables, fruit), we do not forget about holidays. Further it is worth adhering to this stage all the life.


And finally, small history of successful weight loss. Before you Carole Galcoff, the 38-year-old hairdresser, mother of three children who followed the recommendations of doctor Pierre Doucan. The woman not only lost excess weight, but also now can eat everything that is pleasant to her, at the same time does not get fat. Now Carole eats every day meat, it is a lot of vegetables, salads, low-fat yogurt and porridge in the mornings. Here several councils from Carole for those who will decide to follow Doucan's diet:

- Find the producer who offers unsweetened desserts. For example, it is possible to find unsweetened chocolate or crackers in shops of healthy food.

- Do not buy ready fruit yogurts, in them there is a lot of sugar, prepare the better. I buy the simplest low-fat yogurt and I add to it fruit or berry some jelly, made without sugar. It is my most favourite product!

- Ask at restaurants of a dish which correspond to Dukan's diet. It is not always convenient to make it. But when I ask about it, never refuse to me.
