The principle and benefits of the Dukan diet
The Dukan method was the fruit of work over several decades. The doctor explained the reason for excessive obesity. There is a certain number of fat cells in the human body. With a satisfying diet, they begin to divide, decorating people with “ears” on the sides of the waist, second and third chins and other unaesthetic folds. During the diet, they decrease in size, but the number remains the same. Therefore, when returning to a normal diet, fat deposits grow again.
The main goal of the Dukan diet was not weight loss itself, but maintaining the achieved parameters. The essence of the diet is a varied diet of foods with no or low amounts of fats and carbohydrates. The procedure is long-term, but very effective. The undeniable advantages of the Dukan diet are:
- lack of hunger;
- varied diet;
- any frequency of meals;
- unlimited serving size.
French nutritionist Pierre Ducane has developed a unique method for losing weight and maintaining the achieved result.
Each stage of the Dukan Diet addresses a specific problem.
