For the Dukan diet, there are a huge number of recipes for wonderful dishes that you can enjoy even after completing the diet. Omelette with crab sticks for the Dukan diet is a great hearty breakfast!

Can I have fruit?

The consumption of fruits should be approached selectively, since not all of them are included in the list of permitted foods due to their high carbohydrate content. During the stabilization stage, it is not allowed to eat melon, pineapple, grapefruit, peach, mango, watermelon, apricots, kiwi, blackberries, strawberries, quince, plums, blackcurrants, blackberries.

At the consolidation stage, grapes, bananas, pears, avocados, and peaches are added to this list. During this period, you can eat one apple per day or 150 g of blueberries.

Stages of the Dukan Diet

Many people, when encountering the Dukan Diet for the first time, are slightly confused by the incomprehensible terms. What does “attack” have to do with it and who should be attacked?

The secret is simple. To obtain results and save them, you will need to go through several stages or, as they are also called, phases:

• Attack.
• Alternation.
• Consolidation.
• Stabilization.

The duration of each of the phases, which we will consider in more detail below, will depend on the number of kilograms you want to lose. Now you can calculate the duration of the Dukan diet for yourself using the following table.

The duration of the Stabilization phase is not included in the table, since it is more of a guide to nutrition and lifestyle.

Attack phase

In the Attack phase of the Dukan diet, only protein foods are allowed . Long-term protein nutrition is dangerous for health. I'm glad that this is the shortest stage in the entire diet.

There are a number of recommendations from Pierre Dukan himself that must be followed at this stage:

1. First of all, make a sound assessment of the weight you need to lose. To do this, go to the official diet website and enter your data in a special calculation form. You will receive a response in the form of an email with all the necessary information and recommendations.
2. Do not delay this phase longer than 3-6 days. As a last resort, increase the next stage by one and a half to two times, since during it you will also lose weight, although not as actively.
3. Drink plenty of fluids.
4. Eat at least two tablespoons of fiber or bran throughout the day so as not to disrupt the gastrointestinal tract. This can be done on an empty stomach and before meals.
5. Take vitamin and mineral complexes.
6. Monitor your well-being. If it gets really bad, stop the diet and consult a doctor.

Authorized Products

It would seem that it could be simpler than selecting foods that contain only protein. But there are a number of nuances here, since some products contain too much fat or starch.

Please carefully read the list of permitted products in the Attack phase below:

• “red” meat: beef, veal, lamb, lean pork, lean ham, offal;
• poultry meat: chicken, turkey, quail;
• eggs, but no more than two yolks per day;
• rabbit, nutria, game;
• fish and seafood: white fish, red fish, squid, shrimp, other seafood;
• skim milk, low-fat fermented milk products, tofu cheese;
• Soy meat;
• try to limit the amount of salt as much as possible;
• any spices, vinegars, dry herbs, mustard;
• sweeteners, gelatin, baking powder;
• one onion as an addition to soups;
• lemon juice and zest for marinades and as a seasoning for dishes.

The consumption of cereals, vegetables and fats at this stage is strictly contraindicated. Try to stew, boil or bake all dishes. As a last resort, fry in a dry frying pan. You will find a menu option for five days on Attack at the end of the article.

Feedback on the results of the 1st stage of the Dukan Attack:

Phase alternation

The second stage of the Dukan diet is called Alternation. From the name it is clear that the diet is structured in such a way that one day remains completely protein, as on Attack, and the next allows the addition of non-starchy vegetables and herbs. It is believed that its duration should be the first period. However, you have the right to extend it at your discretion, until you lose the expected number of kilograms.

Observe the following rotation phase rules:

1. Increase your fiber or bran intake to two and a half tablespoons.
2. Don't forget to drink water and vitamins.
3. Introduce high fiber foods into your diet.
4. Alternate one protein day with one mixed day until you reach your desired weight.
5. Salt is still prohibited.
6. Walk more.

If you follow these rules and menu (see below), you will lose up to a kilogram per week in addition to the weight you have already lost.

Authorized Products

During the rotation phase, absolutely all products allowed in the Attack are allowed.

Moreover, you get an additional list:

• whole wheat bread;
• green beans and asparagus;
• lettuce, leek;
• mushrooms;
• vegetables: cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, sweet peppers, zucchini, carrots, pumpkin, beets, celery, radishes, radish, avocado;
• cabbage (white cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, broccoli);
• lettuce, spinach, all types of greens;
• chicory;
• ketchup;
• wine no more than 50 g per day (most often for marinades and sauces);
• low-fat cocoa;
• low-fat cream;
• cold-pressed olive oil no more than a tablespoon per day;
• low-fat varieties of hard cheeses no more than once a day and no more than 40 g.

Prohibited Products

But strictly avoid the following products:

• peas, beans, lentils, beans;
• nuts;
• olives and olives;
• corn;
• potato.

Consolidation phase

The most “pleasant” stage of the Dukan diet is the consolidation phase. It is allowed to gradually introduce even durum pasta into the menu. Do this carefully and take into account your daily calorie intake. Moreover, you will still continue to lose weight, but it will be about 200-500 grams per week. With a large initial weight, the trend of one kilogram may continue. However, the task of this phase, nevertheless, is not to lose weight, but to consolidate the result obtained.

Be sure to follow the recommendations from Dr. Dukan:

1. Now you need to eat at least three tablespoons of fiber or bran per day.
2. We continue to drink water and vitamins.
3. You can loosen your control over salt and your well-being.
4. Increase your physical activity.
5. Once a week, have an all-protein day, like on Attack. Thursday is considered classic. But this is at your discretion.
6. You are allowed to turn one meal twice a week into a small holiday and treat yourself to something delicious.
7. Try to continue eating boiled, baked or steamed foods.

Authorized Products

And here is the list of products that you can enter into your menu at the Pinning stage:

• three teaspoons of honey per day;
• oat flakes without glaze;
• seasonal fruits and berries;
• peas, beans, lentils, beans;
• nuts;
• olives and olives;
• corn;
• durum wheat pasta;
• all types of rice;
• buckwheat grain;
• a couple of slices of regular bread.

Prohibited Products

And don't forget that the following products are still prohibited:

• pasta from soft wheat varieties;
• confectionery, baked goods, sweets;
• some fruits: grapes, bananas, figs.

Stabilization phase

Stabilization, according to Mr. Dukan, is perhaps the most important phase of the diet. In fact, it’s not even just one of the stages, but a way of life. Compliance with the rules of the fourth stage will not only protect your waist from returning lost kilograms, but will also completely normalize your metabolism. How much time you devote to the rules of Stabilization, so much you will remain attractive, slim and healthy.

Let's study the rules of the fourth phase:

1. Continue to follow the principle of fractional meals.
2. Allow yourself to have little “stomach holidays” and eat whatever you want. But let it be only one of the meals during the day and no more than twice a week.
3. Follow the protein day rule once a week. This day should consist only of those dishes that can be eaten on Attack
4. Drink at least two liters of water a day, distributing them evenly throughout the day.
5. Take at least two tablespoons of fiber every day for good digestion.
6. Move and walk more. Start jogging or join a gym.
7. Try to limit your alcohol and nicotine consumption. The exception is a glass of dry wine at dinner or a holiday lunch.

Can I have bread or wheat bran?

Wheat bran can be mixed with oat bran at all stages of the diet in the amount of 1 tbsp. l. per day. Whole grain breads are acceptable at the Consolidation stage, 2 pieces per day.

It is recommended to consume any permitted foods in moderation, controlling the amount of food eaten. To observe Protein Thursday, at any stage, only products recommended for the Attack stage are used. Following this diet is a lifelong burden for those who want to gain a slim figure.

Soup With Crab Sticks According to Dukan. Canned soup with dumplings (Dukan diet)

Did you know that Pierre Dukan created the first stages of his “Attack” and “Alternation” diet in 1977, 48 years ago! Perhaps this is the only diet that adheres to the “Eat and Lose Weight” principle. At the “Alternation” stage, fresh and boiled vegetables are added, which means the table will be richer and more varied, so today I offer you a new unique recipe for an incredibly tasty fish soup with dumplings. Dumplings belong to the dishes from the “Cheap and cheerful” series. The invention is attributed to the peasants, as they say - “The need for invention is cunning,” but not to the Slavs, as one might think from its simplicity and popularity. Not at all by the Germans, no matter how much they nodded at the clearly German origin of the word “dumpling” itself, but by Italians, lovers of dough dishes. They are called very cute and tasty - “Gnocchi”, you pronounce it and it’s like smacking your tongue! Dumplings are far from boring, as it might seem, because they can be turned into a “rainbow on the table”: if you add carrot or pumpkin puree to the dough, you get orange dumplings, tomato paste - red, parsley, spinach - green, add a little saffron - bright yellow. Beauty, not only is it healthy and tasty, but the mood is the same - rosy! In our case, we will prepare fish soup with bran dumplings. Canned fish soup according to Dukan - recipe with photo. Ingredients: - a jar of mackerel (without any additions, take the fish in its own juice), - one medium onion, - two tablespoons of oat and wheat bran, - one chicken egg, - dill - several sprigs, - one liter of water, - salt.

Corn contains amino acids necessary for the body to function properly. Fatty acids are useful in the prevention of atherosclerosis.

The vitamin composition of this cereal is also rich. Maize provides the daily requirement of vitamins A, E, H, C and PP, and contains almost all B vitamins. These vitamins are involved in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, and contribute to the removal of cholesterol. In addition, they participate in the activity of the nervous, cardiovascular and digestive systems, normalize the functioning of the liver and kidneys.

The amino acids contained in corn help keep the skin fresh and slow down the aging process. Corn is able to stabilize the hormonal state of the body, so it is recommended to be consumed during adolescence and menopause.

The abundance of fiber in cobs improves intestinal function and also helps to effectively cleanse the body of accumulated toxins.

Benefits and harms for losing weight

Those who want to lose extra pounds should pay attention to the following features of corn:

1. The grains contain glutamic acid, due to which fat is broken down and burned more intensively.
2. Corn contains slow carbohydrates. They break down gradually, so the feeling of fullness after eating lasts a long time.
3. The abundance of fiber improves intestinal motility and stimulates digestion.
4. A complex of specific enzymes, the production of which is promoted by this cereal, accelerates the process of losing weight.
5. Corn is hypoallergenic because it does not contain gluten.
6. This cereal contains proteins involved in the formation of muscle tissue. Thus, the maize diet can be combined with physical activity.
7. This product has no age restrictions.
8. The products included in the diet menu are available all year round and are inexpensive.

The benefits of corn in the diet are undeniable, but it also has a number of disadvantages that, under certain conditions, can cause inconvenience.

Of these, it is worth highlighting the following:

1. The menu for the maize diet is quite monotonous.
2. The products contain small amounts of fats with polysaccharides.
3. This cereal is not recommended to be combined with proteins.
4. Diarrhea may occur during the diet.
5. Diet can provoke or aggravate hidden disorders in the gastrointestinal tract.
