Dr. Ducano’s diet is based on the consumption of protein foods that are easily absorbed by the body and help to lose weight. At the same time the body is cleansed, all toxins and metabolism are removed. The main products of the diet are meat, fish, vegetables and, most importantly, bran. The most attractive and compelling is the duration of the diet, it depends on the number of kilograms of overweight, the time they need to leave, and the characteristics of your body.
Before starting the Ducan diet, it is worth knowing your optimal weight that you should strive for. This can be done using services that are easy to find online. You will be able to enter all the necessary parameters (current weight, desired weight, weight loss attempts, height, pregnancy, etc. ). ) And get your ideal weight figure. As you can see, everything is individual. In addition, you will get a "ruler" to help you follow the stages of the diet: each stage will be calculated by duration and weight loss, which will very easily control the duration of weight loss.
So let’s move on to the stages into which the Ducan diet is divided. There are 4. More about each.
Stage 1 called "Attack"
By the name, it can be understood that we will attack the extra pounds, provoking their rapid and significant loss. This is the shortest and most progressive diet period for Dr. Ducano. Its duration is calculated as follows:
- If an additional 5 kg or less - "Attack" will last a couple of days.
- Got 5-10 extra pounds? Then we will pulse in kilograms for 3-5 days.
- If more than 10 kg is added, the stage is postponed for 5-7 days, well, a maximum of 10.
During this period, you can eat only protein: meat, fish, low-fat dairy products and eggs. During all this time, you can walk up to 6 kg without much effort.
Now more on those products with which we gain weight.
You can eat:
- Any lean meat: veal, rabbit, beef, horsemeat (all meat except entrecote and fileshki), rabbit. Pork and mutton are taboo! Prepared without a gram of oil.
- Liver, kidneys, lungs - any beef, veal, poultry offal, as well as the tip of the beef tongue.
- Any bird except duck and goose must be skinless.
- Skinless ham with a fat content of 2 to 4 percent.
- Any fish, regardless of the method of cooking.
- Seafood.
- Eggs, but no more than 2 yolks, protein may be unlimited. If you have high cholesterol, reduce the yolk level to 3-4 per week.
- Low fat dairy products. You can also milk powder 0% fat, but not more than 3 tablespoons. l. during the day.
All this is worth cooking without adding oil and fat, you can eat whenever you want, as much as you want, calorie counting does not happen.
Some foods need to be consumed in moderation:
- coffee and any tea;
- vinegar and soy sauce;
- any greens, cumin seeds, up to one and a half onions per day and other spices;
- gelatin, baking powder, yeast and agar agar;
- a couple of gherkins can be used as a spice;
- lemon juice for sauce;
- salt and mustard - very little, otherwise the excess water will not leave the body;
- zero calorie sugar substitutes (other than fructose, glucose and sorbitol);
- dietetic beverages;
- you can eat 8 crab sticks;
- mono oil can be used as paraffin oil (1 tbsp. l. ) because it is not high in calories, it envelops the intestines, so it can normalize its work and improve stool. Do not use for baking, do not heat, ideally - salad dressing.
In any case, it is necessary:
- Eat 1, 5 meals. l. oat bran per day.
- Easy gymnastics and daily 20-minute walks.
- Drink 2 liters of water (tea, coffee count).
If you feel bad taste in your mouth, don’t worry about bad breath, this is a perfectly acceptable phenomenon and indicates that you are on the right track. You can move on to the second stage.
Stage 2 - alternation or cruise
This step lasts until the scale arrow shows the desired, optimal shape. The peculiarity of this period is that protein days alternate with protein-vegetable days.
Pierre Ducano's diet offers a choice of 1/1, 2/2 or 5/5. For people who are overweight, it is advisable to follow the 5/5 scheme, for those with a small excess, 1/1 is optimal, so it will be easier for your body and you.
List of prohibited vegetables (starchy and more):
Avocados, all legumes, other than green beans, peas, corn, potatoes, lentils, olives and olives and cereals and pasta of all kinds. Artichoke has not yet been identified in any of the product groups and its use should be kept to a minimum.
All other vegetables can be, only carrots and beets need to be eaten in small amounts because they contain sugar. To change, you can add 1 tablespoon to your diet. l. tomato paste (ketchup) as well as 0% yogurt with fruit.
When cooking, you can use all the products of the "Attack" stage, which should be eaten in moderation.
The innovations are as follows:
- Bran now we eat 2 tbsp. l. during the day.
- If necessary, then one art. l. wheat bran will help against constipation.
- Dairy food should not exceed 1 kg, control this.
- The water is the same for 2 liters.
- And now you need to walk for at least half an hour.
Due to the exchange of proteins with vegetables you will allow you to normalize metabolism, water will leave the body, removing toxins, toxins, fats and salt. As soon as you notice that the scale index has become a cherished number, you should move on to the "Consolidation" phase.
Step 3 - "Consolidation" or "Weight Assurance"
This step will help you consolidate the results you get and last for the kilogram you lose. That is, if you lose 5 kg in the second stage, then consolidation will take 50 days, 10 kg - 100 days, and so on. It turns out, for one kilogram lost in the 3rd stage of 10 days.
Do you want diversity and something new after the previous two stages? You are welcome! You can now afford 40 grams of hard cheese with no more than 40% dry fat. The lower the% fat, the more cheese you can eat.
You can also have a couple of slices of rye bread, one piece of fruit (except banana, cherries, cherries, and grapes) and a couple of slices of watermelon or melon.
As for meat, you can now eat fried pork, bacon and mutton in any quantity.
And a couple more bonuses: now once a week you can lean on a portion of starchy vegetables, as well as organize a "stomach festival" that allows you to eat any first, second and dessert (aperitif - a glass of wine with cheese). But all this must be eaten in one sitting, for breakfast or lunch.
We will now divide the whole stage in half. For example, you have to follow the consolidation for 80 days. The first part is 40 days: you can have one serving of starch and one "feast" a week, but for the next 40 days you can have a party and eat a starchy couple a couple of times a week.
What do we mean by starch? Here is the list and amount allowed:
- Pasta. They can be eaten for about 220 gr. sauce with natural tomato paste with onions or mash with a little Parmesan cheese.
- Whole wheat, as well as couscous and wheat bulgur and allowed 200 gr.
- Lenses. It can range from 200 to 220 grams, which helps stabilize the weight due to the amount of slow carbs.
- Beans, peas and chickpeas are very nutritious, and you can have a few of them.
- Rice and potatoes should be eaten very rarely, in small portions of 125 grams (potatoes should be the same). Whole grain rice can consume 220 grams.
What not to do:
- to hold two festivals in a row
- require replenishment - has a sense of proportionality
Choose one day a week, so to speak, of unloading protein, so that any excess calories can easily pass and allow that day to always be the same, such as Thursday.
Bran now needs to be eaten to 2, 5 tbsp. l. per day and walk for at least 25 minutes a day.
Step 4 - "Stabilization"
Well, and now we have reached the last stage, called Stabilization.
It contains certain rules that will keep you from gaining weight over a lifetime, most importantly just follow them.
- Eat as before, but with food control. Better more protein and vegetables, don’t overdo it with fruits, cheese, bread and starchy foods.
- Stay true to one day of protein fasting and your weight will never be restored.
- Water at least 2 liters.
- Take a walk for at least 20 minutes each day.
- Walk more, forget the elevators, escalators and, if you can, get off the minibus to the bus stop sooner / later and go home / to work. Check if it works!
- Bran you need to eat 3 tbsp. l. day and every day.
