I must say that the Pierre Ducan dietician has not invented anything new.Its fruit of origin is a redesigned set of two power systems no less known: Atkins diets, etc.It is based on the consumption of products with a high protein content and a low carbohydrate content.
The diet was widely known after the release of Ducan's book "I Can't Lose Weight".Most of the diet helped losing weight very quickly.And this despite the fact that the dimensions of the portions were not necessary.It was enough to abandon some products.
Ducan dietary phases
Attack

The most rigorous stadium that activates the fat division process.It implies the refusal of carbohydrates and fats and their replacement with proteins.
Eating permit:
- lean meat;
- Offal of animals and birds;
- All types of fish and seafood, the exception are oily smoked fish;
- egg proteins;
- Small products -fermented lactiero -caseari.
Keep in mind that these products can be boiled and steamed or in the oven.It is strictly forbidden to fry in oil.Also try to limit salt consumption.And be sure to eat oat bran: at least a spoonful and a half per day.
You have to drink at least two liters of water a day.
The attack lasts depending on the number of kilograms you want to fall.The duration calculation is quite simple.
To lose 10 kg, three days are sufficient.Do you dream of getting rid of 20-30 kg?Prepared for 5-7 days of consumption of protein foods.Well, if you have oscillated 60 kg or more, the attack will take 10 days - and this is the maximum term.
Alternation
The second stage is a set of protein and vegetable diet.In addition to the products allowed during the attack, you can now eat vegetables.It is true, only in a day and only those in which there was little starch.
Eating permit:
- cucumbers, courgettes, pumpkin;
- tomatoes, aubergines, pepper;
- All types of cabbage, turnip, radishes, radish;
- mushrooms;
- onion;
- asparagus;
- beans;
- celery.
You can use them both in cheese and boiled.It is still forbidden to fry.
To lose weight faster, eats only when hunger becomes really strong.
The stage can continue until you reach the desired weight.On average, the alternation lasts from one to six months.
Fixing
Since the name is clear, at the third stage we fix what we managed to get in the first two.The main thing is to prevent the return of discarded kilograms.
In addition to the products of the first and second phase, you can eat one day:
- 2 pieces of bread;
- 100 g of fruits with the exception of cherries, bananas and grapes;
- 40 g of cheese.
Potatoes, rice, pasta can eat twice a week.
One day a week it should be made exclusively by proteins.
The duration of the stadium depends on how many kilograms managed to restore: for every 10 days it is assigned.
Stabilization
At the last phase, regular nutrition is allowed in accordance with two rules:
- Dedicates only protein foods one day a week.
- Eat three tablespoons of oat bran every day.
In terms of duration, the fourth phase has no restrictions and Pierre Dukan recommends eating so constantly.
What you need to remember
The enthusiastic reviews and the visible results of weight loss have the back.For full operation, the body needs proteins, fats and carbohydrates.And the exclusion from the ration of the last two points leads to unpleasant consequences.
- The lack of fat is full of worsening of the skin and hair conditions, problems with the cardiovascular system and a violation of the hormonal background.
- Without carbohydrates, the brain begins to die of hunger.The lack of vitamins and fibers brings to weakness, drowsiness, dizziness and headache.
- The body begins to synthesize the glucose of proteins and fats, starting the gluconeogenesis process.This leads to an additional load on the liver, kidneys and intestine, causing the exacerbation of chronic diseases and causing new ones.
- The imbalance of nutrients can cause metabolic acidosis - an incredibly dangerous state of the body, which leads to an altered renal function and sometimes to a coma.
In 2011, in his studio, this was confirmed by the French edition of Le Journal des Femmes.
If you have excellent health, Ducan's diet will not cause irreparable damage and the extra kilos will really go.Otherwise, it is better to refuse the diet.
