Dukan Diet - Fast Weight Loss
Dukan Diet - Fast Weight Loss
When you need to lose pounds, why choose the Dukan Diet? Also termed the Dukan regime, the proteine diet or the Dukan method - the Dukan Diet is a super popular new French diet that incorporates a protein heavy regime with a long-term sensible method for maintaining weight loss.The number one reason to choose the Dukan Diet is to 'mincir' as they say in French, to slim down or lose weight. If you want to shed pounds and get to your slimmest and sexiest weight, the Dukan Diet is an all-inclusive diet that allows you to eat flavorful real food and still lose weight fast and keep it off.
The method was created by French doctor Pierre Dukan. He advised a patient who was also a friend to eat only lean protein and drink water when the friend asked his advice about losing weight fast. Although he had no background in nutrition, the results were incredibly successful. Pierre Dukan became interested in nutrition and weight loss at that point and has continued to help people slim down or mincir for decades. For thirty years of practice, he has helped people in France lose weight and get slim and now his method is gaining huge popularity in the U.K. Now, it's time for the U.S. to get this French diet secret that has been a secret for too long.
During the attack phase, you stick to a strict protein diet. Unlike the Atkin's diet, heavy fats, butter and cream are to be avoided. During the attack phase, you eat only lean meats, fish, shrimp, chicken, lobster, lean ham and lean beef. You can have herbs to season your food generously as well as non-fructose sweeteners.
High fat proteins and dairy products are not allowed during the attack phase. Eggs are fine but if cholesterol is a concern for you, limit the egg yolks during the attack phase.
Egg whites are a great source of lean protein and should be enjoyed during the attack phase of the dukan regime and throughout the diet. You lose most of the weight during the attack phase.
During the Dukan Diet Cruise phase, you can add in a long list of Dukan approved vegetables on alternating days. You go back and forth between an all protein day, then a protein and vegetable day and so on. Remain in this phase until you have shed pounds to your desired goal weight.
The consolidation phase is such an important phase. How long you will stay in the consolidation phase is based on how many pounds you have lost during the attack and cruise phases. This is a healthy way to lose weight and keep it off as Pierre Dukan noticed that most of his patients who had shed pounds struggled with that period after losing it and trying to keep it off. The consolidation phase allows you to add in the foods you love to eat as directed by the Dukan Diet Menu. The goal is to maintain your slim body for life.
In the stabilization phase, Dr. Dukan instructs you to eat as you like, hopefully in moderation of course, six days a week. On the seventh day, you must go back to your attack phase diet. For one day each week, consume only lean protein just as in the first phase of the diet. Remember, you will have learned tons of great Dukan Diet recipes to make tasty and delicious protein recipes so hopefully this won't be so bad.
Don't settle for cardboard fake food when you are dieting. Enjoy real delicious food with a Dukan Diet menu.

Dukan Diet Myths - If You Want To Lose Weight Fast You Should Read This
Dukan Diet Myths - If You Want To Lose Weight Fast You Should Read This
The Dukan diet has reached a level of popularity that myths and rumors are now flooding the internet. This, in itself, is hardly a surprise. The world's news media know the Dukan diet is hot topic and articles about the diet will attract readers. So called experts, as well as the real deal, will not want to be seen without an opinion on the current hot diet topic. Dr. Pierre Dukan will know, I'm sure, that it doesn't matter how good something is, if no-one has ever heard of it it will die a quiet death without anyone noticing its birth or demise. It is in his interests for his diet to be considered newsworthy. And in the interest of anyone wanting to lose weight. I would have never known about Dukan had I not read about it in a British newspaper.
Today there are articles, news stories and magazine features aplenty on the Dukan diet. Hack journalists, including those who happened, in a former life and career, to be doctors will not find it hard to trot out a thousand words or so on diets in general, with vague allusions to the Dukan. In a time when increasingly more editors value their online writers by the number of page views their articles get, it make sense to use the world 'Dukan' in your title (even when your article is merely about diets in general).
Well, they say than all publicity is good publicity and I supposed, that for Dr. Dukan, the media storm is exactly what he wants. Good luck to him I say. His diet helped me lose the weight I needed to and it came off easy! I admin a forum full of happy and successful dieters all singing, for no reason other than they experienced the Dukan and they are happy to share, the praises of the diet. The diet may not be a miracle. It certainly isn't magical but, as I discovered from personal experience, it works!
Of course, the need to be seen to know about the latest diet revolution has led to a lot of the old copy and paste and the beginning of some Dukan diet myths. Here is my guide, as someone who has enjoyed losing weight on this particular diet, to these myths.
Myth number 1 - the Dukan is a starvation diet
Well, this is a ridiculous claim. One of the strongest points in favour of this diet, for me at least, is the fact that you never have to weigh or measure your food and that you can eat as much as you like. There is no calorie counting and portion sizes are calculated on how hungry you feel. Still hungry? Eat some more!
The only reason, I can think of, why anyone would suggest, or appear to suggest, that the Dukan is a starvation diet is because they used the name of diet to attract readers but in their article, the writers are talking about fad diets in general.
I've read many an article on the Dukan that starts off by talking about this particular diet but then quickly turns into a very generalized article about weight loss in general. It is simply a category mistake to include this diet in with starvation or other silly fad diets. Anyone who actually bothers to read the official book will immediately see that the Dukan encourages you to eat as much as you want! No starvation here.
Myth number 2 - that the Dukan is a fad diet
There is a tendency to consider anything new as a fad. After all, we experience novelty every day. Yesterday's news is today's fish wrapper, or so they used to say when newspaper was used to wrap fish and chips (and people thought newsprint added to the flavour of their meal!)
Yes, the Dukan diet is new to English speaking countries. Although, not that new, I've been blogging about the diet for over a year now. But this weight loss program has a long history and the official book is translated into 10 different languages! In fact, the very first diets, were based on cutting down carbohydrates. The science behind the Dukan diet is nothing new.
Myth number 3 - That the Dukan is unhealthy
There are two ideas in play here. The first is a legitimate concern about high protein diets but the second idea is just a piece of nonsense. When the body breaks down protein there are waste products left over. To avoid problems like kidney stones, these products must be flushed from the system. This is achieved by simply drinking the recommended daily quantity of water. If you drink, in total not all at once, two liters of water (or iced-tea, soft drinks) a day you will have no problems.
However, if you don't drink this amount of water (or more if it's a very hot day) then your body will become dehydrated. This applies to everyone, not just people on diets. Women, are more likely to experience water retention if they do not hydrate their bodies by drinking water. This retained water makes a people look bloated and they will weigh more when they step on the scales. Since all dieters want to look less bloated and weigh less, it makes sense to drink plenty of water whether you're on the Dukan diet or following a different plan.
So, drink the water you are supposed to be drinking as a part of a healthy lifestyle and you will have no problems. If, like most people, you don't actually consume the proper amount of water a day, then once you start you should actually begin to notice the health benefits.
The nonsense claim about the Dukan diet being unhealthy comes from people who have no idea what this program involves. You can be sure that whenever an article about the diet appears online there will a whole slew of comments saying "just eat a healthy diet and take regular exercise!" What these people fail to understand Is that is exactly what the Dukan diet is all about.
In the book, Dr. Pierre Dukan, makes it absolutely clear that regular exercise is an essential part of his program. He takes his readers through the benefits of walking in particular, and insists that some kind of regular exercise is taken.
As for a healthy balanced diet, most people eat far too much carbohydrate. Of course, I know that there is carbohydrates in vegetables, but I'm talking about bread, potatoes, rice, pasta. The Dukan diet teaches us that not only is it possible to cut down these carbohydrates dramatically but without sacrificing taste, flavor and enjoyment.
People who already have unhealthy diets and lifestyles don't eat balanced diets. By following the Dukan diet, most find that they are introducing new foods (such a vegetables) and surprising themselves by enjoying these previously shunned food groups. Many people, after being on the diet, managed to break free from the lure of pre-cooked, processed foods.
So, far from being healthy, the Dukan diet encourages you to drink the correct amount of water, to take regular exercise, to eat healthier, more balanced meals and to avoid highly salted processed foods as well as fatty, sugary snacks and desserts.
If all the diet is telling us to do is eat healthily and to take regular exercise you may wonder what is so special about the Dukan diet. The answer is the way the program makes weight loss so much easier than other diets. The reason I managed to lose weight and keep it off, was simply because I found the plan easy to follow and stick to. Two things that made it so much easier, for me, was the speed of the weight loss and the lack of hunger and food cravings.

Dukan Diet Menu and Food Ideas
What do you think of these Dukan diet ideas?

The 5 Mistakes Most People Make On The Dukan Diet
The 5 Mistakes Most People Make On The Dukan Diet
The Dukan Diet is one of the fastest growing new diets. With so many people in a hurry to get started and experience the fast weight loss and low hunger program it's possible that just a few will make mistakes in their haste to lose weight. In this article I will be looking at the five most common Dukan diet mistakes.
1. Not eating enough and feeling hungry
People used to starvation and calorie counting diets have a hard time getting used to the idea that they can eat as much as they want on the Dukan diet. There is a misconception that in order to be losing weight you must feel hungry all the time. Accordingly, some people new to the Dukan diet will subconsciously cut back on their portion sizes to prevent themselves feeling satisfied and so feel like they are on a diet (and losing weight). You do not need to be feeling hungry all the time to be losing weight! The Dukan diet is a low hunger diet, you should not be feeling hungry while you are following this weight loss program. If you do feel hungry then eat something (as long as it is on the list of allowed foods!)
2. Not having enough variety in your diet
When you first start on the Dukan diet you may have to refer several times to the Dukan diet book. It is natural to want to double-check what foods are allowed and what is not allowed. It may take a week or two to have the list memorized so that putting Dukan diet friendly meals together becomes second nature. For some people, once they find a meal they enjoy eating they then stick to this meal, thinking it easier to just stay with what they know is safe and easy. The downside to this plan is that meal-times quickly become repetitive and boring. The once enjoyable and eagerly anticipated meal solution becomes a dreaded chore. So, to avoid becoming sick of the mere sight of turkey kebabs in a tikka and mint sauce (for example) make sure to take time to experiment and widen your Dukan diet menu.
3. Constantly stepping on the scales
The weight loss on the Dukan diet, especially during the Attack Phase can be very fast. Dieters will get a motivating buzz stepping on the scales to see the pounds have been falling off. However, weight does fluctuate throughout the day. The scales may show an exciting loss of a couple of pounds in the morning but show you to have actually gained a pound in the afternoon! One day might see weight loss and another show weight gain. This is unnecessarily upsetting.
You must also factor in to this that most household scales are not very accurate machines. Move the scales slightly to the left or right and you'll probably find a different result when you step on them.
Weighing should be done no more frequently than once as week. Once a month would be better in my opinion. Weight loss should always be thought off in terms of week-by-week at the very least, preferably month-by-month. Which brings me on to the next mistake.
4. Making too much out of occasional slips
It is very easy to slip on your diet and eat something that you shouldn't have. Someone may offer you a cookie and without thinking you're eating it before you realize what you're doing. You find yourself in a situation in which refusing food or drink would be inappropriate and rude. On the Dukan diet there are also little accidental slips such has having full fat milk in your coffee by accident or eating a fattier cut of meat that you though you were having. I remember when I was first on the Dukan I accidentally picked up a packet of roast pork slices rather than roast turkey. For a couple of minutes I was devastated until I managed to put things into proportion!
One little slip while you're on the Dukan diet is nothing. Imagine you have a couple of glasses of wine one day. Naughty, naughty, wine is not allowed while on the Dukan. But making too much of this slip would be madness! Let's say that the extra calories for the wine was 280 kcal. That is 280 kcal that you shouldn't have had for sure. But instead of thinking of this as 280 kcal extra for that day consider it as extra for the week. This means that this slip resulted in you consuming an extra 40 kcal a day for the next month.
So instead of spending time worrying about drinking those glasses of wine and feeling miserable, think instead of burning of those extra 40 kcal each day for a month. This won't be too difficult! Drinking a liter of ice-water will burn of about that much (you don't have to drink it all at once!) due to the fact your body will burn calories simply bringing up the temperature of the water.
5. Thinking that the Dukan Diet works by magic
It's not hard to see why so many people appear to the think the Dukan diet works by magic. The lack of hunger and quick weight loss seems so different to all other diets that the food combinations must seem like its working by magic. Some people talk about the diet as if their stomachs are cauldrons and the foods they eat are ingredients of a magic weight loss potion. They think if they get one thing wrong, eat too much or this or too little or that, eat the wrong food or drink the wrong drink, then the spell will be broken and all the weight loss will cease!
Of course this isn't the case. There is nothing magical about the way that the Dukan diet works. All that happens is what happens with all diets that work. The dieters simply burn off more calories than they consume and the weight loss occurs when their bodies use the stored fat for energy. The great thing about the Dukan diet, why so many people are singing its praises, is that the whole process is so much easier and quicker than is experienced with other diets. The high protein and low carbohydrate menus on the Dukan mean that people naturally consume fewer calories simply because they feel satisfied quicker and don't feel hungry or crave food for longer. If you do slip or eat the wrong food, then on that day you will just have eaten more calories, nothing will be ruined or undone, as long as you go straight back to the program the weight loss will continue as before.

The Dukan Diet
The Dukan Diet
The Dukan method has grown out of Doctor Pierre Dukan's 40 years of experience working with patients. He has devised a weight-loss method structured around 4 phases, two for losing weight, two for stabilising the weight you get down to, using a list of 100 permitted foods from which you can eat as much as you want.
This method, based on natural proteins, is nowadays acknowledged as one of the most effective tools available for tackling obesity worldwide. The original method: a diet structured around 4 phases The Dukan diet was the first to offer a structured, rigorous approach with real results in 4 phases: 2 phases for losing weight and 2 phases for maintaining and stabilising your True Weight. The attack phase: rapid and highly motivating weight loss 72 foods, high in natural proteins, to kick-start your dieting. The cruise phase: gradually get down to your True Weight You alternate NP days (Natural Proteins) with PV days (Proteins and Vegetables) as you reintroduce the 28 recommended vegetables. The consolidation phase: re-educate your body to avoid putting weight back on. You gradually reintroduce higher calorie foods and celebration meals. Each week your NP Thursday, your day of Natural Proteins, helps you readjust your True Weight if necessary, so that you avoid any rebound effect. Consolidation is made up of the 100 unlimited permitted foods (proteins and vegetables), and you now add to them 1 portion of leg of lamb and pork fillet per week. You are no longer restricted to extra-lean ham without any fat or rind, you are now allowed to eat traditional cooked ham. With this as your base, the following are added in ascending order:
*Except bananas, grapes, figs and cherries
**Celebration meal = a "free" meal comprising an aperitif (wine, etc,), a starter, a main course and a portion of cheese OR a dessert. During the meal the only thing you must do is serve yourself just once for each course.
The stabilisation phase: you are free to eat how you wish, with 3 simple rules you must follow for the rest of your life
• NP Thursdays: one day of natural proteins every week • 20 minutes of walking every day and never use lifts or escalators • 3 tablespoons of oat bran every day 100 permitted foods - the cornerstone of the system Get used to eating freely in a controlled way. As long as you stick to the permitted foods, you don't need to check how much you're eating. The Dukan Diet is firmly based around 100 permitted foods that you can eat as much as you want: 72 Pure Proteins, fish, meat, seafood, vegetable proteins, fat-free dairy products and 28 vegetables. And let's not forget the foodstuff that is such a vital part of the Dukan method: oat bran. Dieting while there is such food abundance all around us is unnatural, terribly trying and often a distressing experience. The Dukan method allows you to lose weight naturally by going back to those foods that mankind was built on, the very foods that the first men, the hunter-gatherers, ate. Exercise: vital to the method Physical exercise is included in every phase of the method and has to be adapted to suit each individual. The minimum requirement is to walk every day. You are recommended to take other exercise that you enjoy such as aerobics, cycling, swimming, dance and fitness classes and so on. The important thing is to be active. By taking exercise you use up calories, burn up your fat reserves and tone and firm up your skin. The Dukan method: 35 years of innovation
Pierre Dukan was aware very early on of how people were suffering from weight problems and how the existing methods just didn't work. He made up his mind to offer a totally unique and innovative solution to tackle obesity and make his method even more effective: personalised and interactive online coaching.
