The technique of Pierre Ducane for weight loss has gained popularity for a long time. Her homeland is France, a country of high fashion and slenderness. However, it does not include frogs and other specific products that could scare off representatives of other countries. To date, it is popular not only among ordinary people, but also among celebrities who decided once and for all to end overweight.
The technique of Pierre Ducan
Diet according to the method of Pierre Ducane is a long system of weight loss, which includes 4 stages and starts with a strict protein diet. Its main principles are:
- from the diet excluded simple carbohydrates (sweet, flour);
- food is built primarily on protein foods (meat, poultry, fish) and vegetables;
- protein diet at first is difficult to transfer, so you need to drink at least 2 liters of water per day;
- daily you need to take 1-2 tablespoons of fiber or bran throughout the diet to avoid constipation and other problems with the intestines.
Before applying this diet it is important to consult a doctor. The system is strictly contraindicated to those who have kidney diseases and some other health problems.
Ducan's method: the phase of the diet "Attack"
To use the system, you need to know your exact weight, as well as the specific figure to which you aspire. Subtract from the first indicator of the second, and you will find out how many days you will spend on the first, most severe phase of the diet:
- from 1 to 10 kg - 3 days;
- from 10 to 20 kg - 5 days;
- from 20 to 30 kg - 1 week exactly;
- more than 30 kg - 10 days.
After determining how much time you need to eat according to the principles of the first cycle of the diet, you need to know the list of allowed products. It is best to print this information and hang it on the refrigerator to avoid confusion. So, it is allowed:
- Fish and seafood;
- any spices, mustard, lemon juice, natural 6% vinegar;
- liver of beef and chicken;
- natural unsweetened yoghurt;
- turkey fillet and chicken without skin;
- onion and garlic.
In the early days you will have a hard time. Do not forget to take fiber and drink 2 liters of water a day in small portions - this will allow you to improve your health as much as possible.
Do not forget - everything that is not included in the list of allowed, strictly prohibited: it's different types of meat from beef to rabbit and pork, and other kinds of birds - duck and goose. Strictly forbidden sugar and all sweet, bread and whole flour.
The technique of Pierre Ducane: the phase of "Cruise"
So, you have overcome the first, the most difficult phase. Now Pierre Duccan allows alternating days, as in the first cycle, with similar days - but they are also allowed vegetables. There are different options, as they can be alternated:
- in a day - only meat, day - meat + vegetables;
- in 3 days - 3 days only meat, 3 days - meat + vegetables;
- in 5 days - 5 days only meat, 5 days - meat + vegetables.
If desired, after a full cycle, you can choose a different cycle so that the menu does not get bored. Of the vegetables that are allowed in vegetable-protein days, you can list the following: cabbage, spinach, artichoke, zucchini, cucumbers, pepper, turnips, mushrooms, soy, onions, eggplants, celery, tomatoes, asparagus, beans, sorrel.
In addition, from this phase of the cycle you have a bonus - every day you can afford two any positions from this list:
- one serving of unsweetened cocoa on skim milk;
- one spoonful of starch, which can be added to a jelly or other dish;
- a quarter of a glass of soy cream;
- a slice of low-fat cheese;
- a quarter of a glass of dry dry wine;
- a spoonful of ketchup;
- a serving of coffee without sugar with a spoonful of cream;
- minimum amount of vegetable oil.
Continue to eat, not forgetting about water and fiber , so that your intestines can function normally. Only after you reach the desired weight (or you will remain 1-2 kg before it), you need to eat just like that.
Dukan's technique for losing weight: the phase "fastening"
How many kilograms have you already dropped? Multiply this by 10, and you will get the number of days that you will spend on this phase of the diet. For example, if you won 5 kilograms, you need to eat according to the menu of this part of 50 days, or 1 month and almost 3 weeks.
For a basis it is necessary to take albuminous-vegetable days from the last phase. Now you can add to them 1-2 fruits and 1 slice of grain bread per day.
