Dyukan diet

The surname of this nutritionist became the name of the house: "I'm sitting in Dukan," at least one of our friends or we ourselves said such words.No wonder Pierre Ducan has been studying (and continues to study) the eating habits of his patients 25 years ago and developed the author's methodology for weight loss.After the release of the book "I can't lose weight", not only your patients talked about it, but also everyone who dreams of getting thinner.And that, we will be honest, almost everything.In addition to a systematic and intelligible approach, several books, more than 500 recipes, the doctor's diet has gained popularity thanks to the on -line individual interactive training program.The main point is that at any time you will be supported by nutritionists (including Dukan itself), I corrected the program, from night missions to the refrigerator.

Criticism

Pierre Dukan's diet is often criticized, especially colleagues from the workshop.Thus, nutrition expert Jean-Michelle Cohen convinced the court that protein diets can cause heart disease and breast disease.Now the opponent must pay Cohen over a few thousand dollars.The author of the book “Bible of Literation”, Zhenny de Jonkier, considers the lack of a feeling of hunger the only advantage of the Dukan system.Another nutritionist, Katrin Lefevr, is sure that the predominance of protein, especially during the attack, will not pass without consequences for the kidneys.The Dietetics Association put Ducan's diet the first on the list of the worst diets.According to experts (the Health Nutrition Nutrition Agency, Environment and Work), this diet can violate the metabolism process, cholesterol level, as a result of which cardiovascular complications, kidney and straight problems will occur.So we remember: Before adjusting the weight with diets, consult a qualified specialist.
