Dyukan's diet

The author of the methodology offers us4 stages of diet, for each stage - a certain set of products.

The 1st stage of the diet of Ducan.Attack.

The essence of this stage is a rapid weight loss.Over its length (5-7 days), a person eats only protein products, with the addition of bran (from 1 to 1.5 tbsp).Seafood, low -fat varieties of meat, poultry without skin and dairy, low -fat products, eggs.

2nd stage of diet Dukan. Drawing (cruise)At this stage, vegetables are added to the protein diet.As a rule, with such a diet, patients lose from 1.5 to 2.5 kg per 1 week.Until the perfect weight is reached.

The 3rd stage of the diet of Dukan.Fixing the result.(Consolidation).This stage is aimed at consolidating the result.At this time, fresh fruits, whole grain bread and cheese are added to the diet.Also, a couple of days a week you can use starchy, high -carb.Food, such as pasta, cereals, potatoes.This phase lasts based on the following parameters: 5 days for every 0.5 kg of weight that you have lost.

The 4th stage of the diet of Ducan.The final stage of the diet, the main purpose of which is to constant weight control.You can return to your usual diet, but you must comply with some rules:

• In your schedule, there should be any physical activity (walking, for example).
• One protein day should be preserved.
• To eat at least the 1st century of bran.

In its structure, such a nutrition refers to the category of low -carb or high -protein, as you like to call that.However, additives —Nizko and —tho raise various questions, and it is better to adhere to the golden mean and measures in everything.

Yes, really Ducan’s diet is a fairly effective method of combating excess weight, but due to the notorious decrease in the total calorie content of your diet and a horse dose of protein.We will analyze the whole process in more detail.

How does Ducan's diet work?

With the same total calorie content, a diet with a high protein content allows you to lose weight faster than high -carb.At the same time, the muscle tissues of the body do not suffer, since a losing weight can maintain muscle weight, almost without changes, due to the intake of proteins of high biological value to the body.If you eat high -white foods, then food proteins will enter the processes of catabolism, without affecting muscle mass.

The hyperprotein diet allows you to maintain the energy necessary for vital activity with rapid loss of body weight.Ducan diet is the fastest and most aggressive method of weight loss.It is intended for people suffering from obesity of 4 degrees.Hyperprotein diets are recommendedOnly under the supervision of a doctor and for a period of 5-7 days.

Ducan's diet almost completely eliminates the use of carbohydrates.You can eat only meat, cheese, eggs, fish, poultry.Sour cream, oil and bread - in very limited quantities, literally crumbs.600-800 calories per day mean consumption of 150-200 grams of proteins.

On hyperprotenic diets, multivitamin receptionBusual, like medical control, since its long use can disrupt the work of the kidneys.In addition, with a protein diet, a lot of calcium is consumed, which poorly affects the condition of bones and teeth.The disadvantage of plant fibers can cause serious problems with intestinal motility, so it is recommended to use light laxatives.Get ready for the fact that with protein diets it smells like that you drank a fluid bottle for removing varnish from acetone -based nails, since ketosis processes are launched and ketones are formed that help burn fat tissues.

How much protein should you eat per day?

RDA (national recommendations for nutrition in the United States to maintain health) give a number of 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight.This is a figure for people who do not go in for sports and do not sit on a diet, such an average person.More recent studies say that protein needs 1-1.2 grams per kilogram of body weight.But they have not yet become official.

For people involved in sports, protein norms are growing, although there are no single numbers in the scientific world.So, the American College of Sports Medicine ACSM for playing sports advises 1.3-1.8 grams of protein per day per kg of body weight, and calls 2 grams above the extreme border, above which the protein no longer benefits the body.

Side phenomena on Ducan's diet

1. 

   Weight loss is mainly due to the drain of water.With a diet consisting only of protein foods, fasting mode is included in the body, becauseMost body cells,Including the brain, as a rule, energy is obtained from other substances, such as glucose (blood sugar) coming to us with carbohydrates.If your diet lacks carbohydrates, then the body is forced to use glucose and liver glucose reserves (glycogen), which leads to a decrease in muscle mass, so the first few days, a rapid weight loss occurs.Due to carbohydrate starvation of cells, the body begins to split fat with the formation of a large amount of ketone bodies-ketosis.Due to it, there is a sharp weight loss at the first stages of Dukan's diet.Unfortunately, ketosis not only burns fat, but also leads to the appearance of health problems, and in some cases to a rather serious one.Often ketosis is accompanied by headaches, irritability, and excessive load on the kidneys, ketosis can also lead to arrhythmia (intermittent heartbeat), and sometimes to cardiac arrest.But this is not all, with a long stay of the body in a state of ketosis, the risk of developing coronary heart disease and the probability of a stroke increase.And even if the first stage of Ducan’s diet we completed safely, then at the second stage the “cruise” is an alternation of protein days with protein and vegetable days, so that stress for the body continues in full.

2. 

   Refusal of fats or their consumption in a much smaller amount than a healthy body is necessary - this is already a therapeutic dietwhich is prescribed for people with certain diseases, and not just who wants to lose weight.And if for a man this can pass more or less without consequences, then a woman in whose body adipose tissue is involved in hormonal metabolism very difficult to endure such a diet.The consequences can be catastrophic, from hormonal dysfunction to the inability to get pregnant and menstrual irregularities, up to aminorrhea.Also, fats are necessary for the formation of cell membranes, and if they are not enough, this leads to a general deterioration in the state of the body.First of all, the gastrointestinal tract and skin suffer.If the share of fats in the diet is less than 10% of the total calorie content, the body reduces the production of growth hormone, thyroid hormones (thyroxine, triiodothyronine, T3, T4) of sex hormones, some adrenal hormones, that is, the very hormones that move our aging.Therefore, completely abandoned fats, or their deficiency in a volume of 10%, threatens with loss of health and premature aging.

   • It is believed that the high -protein diet causes osteoporosis - the loss of bone mass.Squirrel amino acids are acids, as the name can be seen.This “acidifies” the body and makes it wash out calcium from bones to neutralize acid.Therefore, before sitting on a similar diet, you should be sure of your health.
   • The kidneys are a filter of the body.In total, they filter up to 180 liters of blood every day.Studies have shown that high -white food makes the kidneys filter more blood per minute.Therefore, it was revealed that protein makes them work at increased speeds and can cause renal failure.Those.The kidneys are the “target” organ for the Ducan diet, and before the start of such a diet, it is necessary to explore your urine system.
3. 

   Protein causes decay processes in your gastrointestinal tract.We eat a piece of meat.In the stomach, it is digested and treated with gastric juice, turning into a gruel (Humus).Then it falls into the small intestine, here most of the eaten protein under the influence of enzymes breaks up into separate amino acids, like any other protein.Through the walls of the intestine, they are absorbed into the bloodstream and go for the construction of their proteins.The remaining food lump with an unfinished protein (approximately 2-3% to 5-10% of the eaten) goes to the large intestine, and there lives microflora, which makes a lot of useful things for a person.For growth and reproduction, she needs amino acids.Microorganisms, although they live inside a person, are individual passengers.So, for the processing of protein, they have their own enzymes, which are completely different from the enzymes of the gastrointestinal tract of a person.These enzymes are processed protein, and in the process different toxic and non -toxic products of its decay are formed.This protein processing by bacteria is called “protein rot”, although it can be called anaerobic fermentation.In any case, this is not a piece of undigested ball in the intestines and rot.The human body knows how to neutralize these toxic compounds.According to the bloodstream from the intestines, they go to the liver.There, with the help of different chemical processes, they become non -toxic and are excreted in the urine - this happens when a normal amount of protein enters the human body.With its significant excess, the human body and its microorganisms simply can not cope with timely digestion, the number of white “residues” increases directly by the time of following such a diet.Toxic products accumulate in the body, as a result of which protein intoxication develops.Your stomach begins to swell, increasing in size, rumbling, scaring passers -by, constipation arises.Is this what you want to experience when adhering to a diet?In China, there was even a very terrible species of death: a man sentenced to death, fed exclusively boiled meat, a month later he died in terrible torment.In the absence of fiber, the meat ceased to digest to the end and began to rot directly in the sentenced, self -confusion was performed with products of disintegration of meat, as a result of which a person was dying.I hope this will make you think about the benefits of intensive consumption of protein foods.

4. Many say that the main reason for the accumulation of adipose tissue is excessive consumption of carbohydrates.Although this is not entirely true, and a person accumulates fat due to the total high number of calories.Experts say that even an increased amount of protein in the body leads to the accumulation of fats.But this must be looked at each specific case.

   After any low -carb diet, the weight will return.At first it will be mainly water.But, having reached the “prohibition”, you are unlikely to stop and limit the receipt of the simplest energy source (rapidly soluble carbohydrates) for so long.You can’t be without carbohydrates for a long time for sure, it's just immoral.And any hard restrictive measure leads to a breakdown.To avoid the effect of hypercompensation, you need to get out of this diet very smoothly, adding 10-15 g of carbohydrates to the reception per week, gradually adding fats.Those.Do not think that after sitting on Ducan’s diet, you got rid of excess fat for life.Now the most difficult thing remains - to keep the weight.And then a rational, balanced diet comes to the rescue, which should become your way of life.Only in this way, with the help of experts, you must return to proper nutrition, competent and life, then, all lost by excessive efforts and risks for health, will not return to its place.

After any low -carb diet, the weight will return.At first it will be mainly water.But having reached the “prohibition”, you are unlikely to be able to stop and limit the receipt of the simplest energy source (rapidly soluble carbohydrates) for so long.You can’t be without carbohydrates for a long time for sure, it's just immoral.And any hard restrictive measure leads to a breakdown.To avoid the effect of hypercompensation, you need to leave this diet very smoothly, adding to a week to 10-15 g. Carbohydrates to the reception, gradually adding fats.Those.Do not think that after sitting on Ducan’s diet, you got rid of the extra fat for life.Now the most difficult thing remains - to keep the weight.And then a rational, balanced diet comes to the rescue, which should become your way of life.Only in this way, with the help of experts, you must return to proper nutrition, competent and life, then, all lost by excessive efforts and risks for health, will not return to its place.

Whatever the followers of the diet about its rationality say, first of all, like any other diet, the main minus is its unbalanced nourishing substances, this can be read in the reviews of almost all doctors about Dukan's diet.It contains too many proteins to the detriment of carbohydrates and fats that are necessary for our body.This is what her greatest drawback is.In particular, if a person decides to take such a power system as a basis, as the author of Ducan’s diet recommends - for life.What do you think - to deprive yourself of the necessary nutrients for life - is it reasonable for health, for all continuous chemical reactions that occur in our body?!
