Are you searching for a diet that's going to take off the pounds and keep them off? Women and men in France seem to have this worked out, they are considerably less obese than Americans. Why is that?
The Dukan Diet was initially introduced by Dr. Pierre Dukan, a French physician that has specialized in human nutrition since 1973. The Dukan Diet was created a decade ago and has gained immense acclaim since it was initially conceived. The Dukan Diet was first born in the young medical doctor Pierre Dukan's imagination when he faced people who would take desperate measures to lose extra fat. Patients who underwent starvation phases (particularly with meat), as a result of several other weight loss programs, were told to eat only meat by Dr. Dukan. The Dukan Diet is based on ingesting high-protein ingredients while drastically restricting virtually all carbohydrates including fruits, starchy vegetables, legumes and whole grains
According to media reports, over 1.5 million French women rely on the diet to maintain their figures, and evidently political figures, movie stars and high profile models are living the Dukan life, each of them seduced by its promise of the ultimate dieters desire - perpetual slenderness while ingesting what you like. It has also been used by models and celebrities including Giselle Bundchen and Jennifer Lopez to return to their pre-baby bodies.
?The Dukan Diet has four successive phases:
- The Attack Phase (also known as "pure protein Phase"),
- The Cruise Phase,
- The Consolidation Phase and,
- The Stabilization Phase
In
simple words, more consumption of high
protein foods raises the body's calorie expenditure. High Protein foods are
additionally lower in calories than carbohydrates and fats. To summarize, we can
say that high protein food not only can increase the calorie expenditure of the
body but further helps in consuming fewer calories as high protein food simply
leaves people feeling fuller for longer because the slow rate of digestion. As
stated by Dr. Dukan, the diet has a solid academic value and shows dieters the
incredible importance of each food group in line with the order in which they
are incorporated into their diet regime.
The diet starts with vital foods, then introduces, in succession, indispensable foods, essential foods and important foods, finishing off with superfluous foods.
Along
with its sound scientific rationality, the
Dukan Diet enables you to "eat anything you want" so long as it
is a protein. The Dukan Diet is an attractive diet as it promises and delivers
the holy grail of diets, that after whatever target weight loss strategy is
achieved, the weight loss is retained forever, and one can go back to
unrestrained eating. It acknowledges the actual pleasure from eating and,
incredibly, assures efficient weight loss while taking in limitless quantities
of "real
food".
