A bold statement to make but it would seem that over 5 million people in France are raving over the simplicity and longevity of the diet where it seems in the long term you can eat as you please as long as you stick to one golden rule:
PROTEIN THURSDAYS:
Even resteraunts are jumping on the bandwagon serving proetein only meals on a thursday with the simple premise being that consuming only protein keeps hunger at bay as it takes a longer time to be digested than other foods and is lower in calories than many of the fats and carbohydrates.
There is more to the diet in the initial breaking in stages but it seems in the longterm this simple idea is helping people to lose weight and keep it off.
There is likely to be a huge launch of the diet in the UK, most likely with expensive support systems, in coming months but you can get started or find out more through the Dukan diet book,
let me know your thoughts, revolution or new fad?

While I haven't read the book in my opinion these diets cause more harm than good if they don't address behaviour changes. Simply saying only eat protein will not cause a long term effect if people are eating sugar loaded foods the rest of the week
ReplyDeleteThat's just my professional opinion.

Hi Marc,
ReplyDeleteAs I understand it there are 4 stages to the diet and the protein only aspect is purely a maintenance stage.
I completely agree though without the support and advice to learn how to eat for health then such procedures could be leading people into unhealthy states so it will be intereting to see what happens if the "revolution" takes place.
thanks for your input,
Nathan
