Dukan Diet

The Dukan Diet

Want to know more about the Dukan Diet? The creator gives you a breakdown in this review. Please check with your doctor before starting this or any other diet.

by Pierre Dukan
Devised by Dr. Pierre Dukan, a French medical doctor who has spent his career helping people to lose weight, the Dukan Diet rejects counting calories and promises permanent weight loss while allowing adherents to eat as much as they like.


Originally published in 2000, the Dukan Diet swept across France, championed by people who successfully lost weight following its unique four phase regime. The Dukan Diet has helped millions in France, where it has been number one for more than ten years and adopted in twenty countries, including the United Kingdom, Poland, Korea and Brazil. All together, The Dukan Diet has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide.

The Diet: 4 Easy Steps to Permanent Weight Loss
 

Phase one: Attack
Using Dr. Dukan's True Weight calculator, dieters determine a reasonable and healthy weight loss goal. Then they begin the Dukan Attack phase a two-to-seven-day period during which only unlimited lean protein and a daily Oat bran galette (or pancake) are consumed and dramatic weight loss is achieved.


Phase Two: Cruise
Dieters alternate days of unlimited lean protein with days of protein combined with healthful vegetables until they reach their True Weight.


Phase Three: Consolidation
Dieters stay on this phase for 5 days for every pound lost. At this point the diet allows unlimited protein and vegetables, and other foods (such as cheese and bread) are reintroduced.  Dieters are also allowed two weekly celebration meals to stave off boredom.


Phase Four: Stabilization
This is the maintenance portion of the plan, in which followers are allowed to eat whatever they like without regaining weight – provided that they follow 3 unbreakable rules including eating only unlimited lean protein one set day per week. 


For each phase, The Dukan Diet offers clear simple guidelines for long term success.  The Dukan Diet is the perfect diet for people who want fast weight loss, that can be maintained without counting calories or weighing portions.

The best price I have seen is at Wal-Mart for under $14.00.

Simple Breakfast Idea




By adding a 1/2 to a full scoop of protein powder to your morning oatmeal can really keep you full longer! Add the protein on the last 30 seconds or right when it comes out of the microwave. Stir and enjoy!

1/2 cup of oats (not instant packages with fake flavoring)
1 cup of milk/soy/almond/rice or water
1/2 to 1 scoop of protein powder of your choice
***add in fruit for a great breakfast

After any workout, you need to refuel your body with the right amount of carbs and proteins. For an easy summer recovery snack try these protein recovery popsicles. Thanks to Myfitnesspal.com these were easy to find! 

Banana chocolate peanut butter: (sort of fudge-sicle-esque)
1 cup chocolate almond milk (unsweetened)
3 scoops of chocolate whey protein powder
two tablespoons chocolate peanut butter (or regular peanut butter + a tablespoon of cocoa)
one banana

and

Strawberry Banana Almond: (tastes remarkably like strawberry ice cream)
1 cup Vanilla almond milk (unsweetened)
1 cup strawberries
3 scoops vanilla protein powder
two tablespoons almond butter
one banana

and

Mango-banana-cheesecake:
1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 cup mango
1/2 banana
3 scoops protein powder (vanilla works best)

Put all ingredients in blender, blend. Pour into popsicle molds. Wait impatiently for them to freeze. Eat post workout.

They're around 125 calories a piece with the ingredients I used (depending on your protein powder choice, calories/fat/carbs would vary).
