Ducan protein diet: Principles

1. Experienced French nutritionist Pierre Ducan, knowing all the subtleties of the influence of food consumed on the human body for 30 years, developed his own unique system, which was subsequently named in his honor.
2. Ducan's technique consists of several phases and allows you to establish metabolism, learn to eat more competently and lose weight. The diet developed by a nutritionist is based on many livestock products, such as meat, fish, eggs and a small amount of carbohydrates. In the developed system, there is a gradual transition from a strictly protein diet to a protein-carbohydrate diet.
3. It allows you to lose weight without experiencing annoying attacks of brutal appetite and not counting calories. The diet can be long enough and take up to several months. Over this period, the body is rebuilt under a new diet and gets used to it.
4. Diet does not lead to a decrease in vital energy and ability to concentrate, does not cause stress for the human body.
5. In addition to the recommendations for nutrition, Dr. Ducan gives other tips, which cannot be neglected if you want to get the maximum effect and avoid possible complications for the body:
   • every day you need to consume at least 1.5 liters of simple water;
   • regularly add oatmeal to food as a dietary supplement, their number is specified separately at each stage of the diet;
   • every morning do exercises;
   • walk on the street daily for 30 minutes or more.

Ducan protein diet phases

Ducan’s diet consists of 4 stages, each of which applies its own approach to the diet. Without a clear fulfillment of all the requirements of each phase, you should not count on a decent result.

Phase of attack

1. At the first stage, a rapid decrease in the weight and volume of the body occurs. The phase of the attack implies a clear implementation of fairly strict rules, on which the number of kilograms dropped depends.
2. The phase menu of the attack consists of protein products saturated with protein, including fermented milk, with a minimum fat content.
3. Side effects include weakness and dry mouth, which does not require correction, but only indicates the effectiveness of the system. Nevertheless, if your well -being worsens, it is necessary to reduce the first stage to a minimum, and if your health is stable, then we try to reach the most permitted duration.
4. The phase duration is set depending on the weight that you want to lose:
   • less than 20 kg: from 3 to 5 days;
   • from 20 OD 30 kg: 5 - 7 days;
   • more than 30 kg: 7 - 10 days.
5. That is, the first phase of Ducan’s protein diet is not recommended to tighten longer than 10 days.
6. At the 1st stage, the menu should consist of the following products:
   • be sure to use 1.5 tbsp. l. oat bran every day;
   • beef meat, veal, chicken, turkey, ham;
   • veal offal;
   • gifts of the sea;
   • dairy products with a low percentage of fat content;
   • eggs;
   • garlic, onions, seasonings, salt.
7. Good news is the ability to combine all of the above products in any way.

The phase of the alternation

1. The stage of the alternation consists of two options for a diet menu that consistently go one after another. The first version of the diet includes only protein products, and the second - protein products in combination with vegetables.
2. The duration of the alternation periods should be the same, for example:
   • 1 day of protein food - 1 day of protein food with vegetables;
   • 3 days of protein write - 3 days of protein food with vegetables, etc.
3. If you want to lose up to 10 kg of excess weight, you can choose any number of days for alternation, and in the case of an excess weight of more than 10 kg, only 5 in 5 scheme suits you.
4. How much the second phase will last - it is necessary to calculate by the formula at the rate of 1 dropped kilogram at the first stage - 10 days of the second stage. For example: lost 3 kg - the second phase lasts 30 days.
5. The phase of alternation helps to fix the results of the attack phase and prevent a re -set of weight.
6. The menu of the second phase consists of the same components as in the first phase of the system, plus vegetables: cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, asparagus, cabbage, radishes, pepper, eggplant beans and even mushrooms. Vegetable dishes can be consumed raw, as well as boil, steamed or baked.
7. In addition, in the second phase of the Ducan system you can:
   • it is necessary to use 2 tbsp. l. oat bran;
   • low -fat cheeses - 30 g;
   • fruits, exception - bananas, sweet cherries and grapes;
   • cocoa, starch, cream of 1 tsp;
   • sunflower, linseed or olive oil for frying-just a little bit;
   • 2 slices of bread;
   • 50 g of wine.
8. These products can be consumed no more than 2 species per day, and products from the first phase can be mixed at will.

Fixing phase

1. This period is necessary to stabilize the weight established in the first 2 phases. The number of days of consolidation phase is calculated similarly to the phase of the alternation: 1 kilogram of excess weight of the first phase - 10 days 3 phase.
2. At the same time, even greater variety is made on the menu, in addition to products of the 2 previous phases, the use of potatoes, rice, pasta 2 times in 7 days is allowed.
3. It is important to adhere to 1 condition: 1 day a week must be made protein, just as in the first stage. At the same time, the use of oat bran should be increased to 2.5 tbsp. l. per day.

Stabilization phase

1. The stabilization phase lasts ... for the rest of his life. Here it is worth adhering to several simple rules:
   • the amount of simple water drunk per day is not less than 1.5 liters;
   • 3 tbsp. l. oat bran daily;
   • every day you need to have protein, fruit and vegetable components in the diet, as well as a little cheese and bread, and 2 any dishes rich in starch;
   • 1 day a week should be purely protein, as in the first phase of the system.
2. Performing these simple conditions, you can have a stable weight throughout your life.
3. Everyone who conscientiously tried on themselves the Ducan system is unanimously indicated by the high effectiveness of this method. The weight with this system goes gradually, so stretch marks are not formed on the skin. In addition, metabolism, the state of internal organs improves and taste preferences in the direction of useful products change.
4. Having many disintections unacceptable for other diets, the Ducan system does not lag behind other more stringent diets in effectiveness. This is not just one way to acquire elegant forms, but a whole scientific approach, the effect of which is proved and analyzed.

Using the principles of a protein diet, you can not only lose weight, but also change the habits in nutrition, which will certainly lead to the healing of the whole organism and improve the quality of life.
