E-dukan-do to Lose Weight without Losing More
For some time the words diet, miracle and Dukan always together. I acknowledge that he had paid more attention than usual to the call method Dukan until another word joined the above: controversy.
And indeed, the controversy is served, especially if the Dr. Dukan has millions of fans around the world who praise the efficacy and safety of this diet, but government agencies do not think the same. I have even read that nutritionists and dietitians who reject this diet do so for fear of running out of patients … No comments.
- First, the very Dukan and ardent admirers of this doctor (coach, very successful literary author, nutritionist and almost showman) French half the world has been on a diet, which appears in all the newspapers, radios and televisions.
In addition to a spectacular marketing, Dukan method is not just another protein diet that accompany the book, oat bran, a few minutes of exercise, and millions of witnesses telling wonders about it. It consists of 4 phases. During the first 2, is based on the use of only 100 foods (72 and 28 protein-rich vegetables). In the 2 following steps are added other foods.
If the first two phases will extend until it achieves a fair weight (I can not help remembering the name of that famous game show we saw years ago) how much time you have to be without food as basic as fruit or cereal?
- Secondly the Spanish Association of Dieticians-Nutritionists (AEDN) that has put the fuss about the dangers of the popular diet. Just under a month, the AEDN was positioned on this diet, “the method of Mr. Dukan is fraudulent and illegal, not good for losing weight and pose a risk to public health.”
Base their claim in the absence of scientific method in Dukan diet. They also state that satisfies the defining characteristic that fraudulent diets (magic promise quick results and prohibit food, dietetic advice, including testimonials to add credibility and contain statements that contradict health groups). Will deliver?
I think important to note that they are not alone in his assertion, the French Association of Dieticians, Nutritionists and British Dietetic Association also consider this diet dangerous to health.
Some media have gone from having interviewed star as the dr. Dukan, to talk about negative and dangerous side of such diets. You can read this article as an example.
Finally, some little pill:
- A balanced diet should contain all the essential nutrients, not abuse of some and replacing others.
- A protein diets can cause ketosis, and a prolonged ketosis may have very negative consequences for health.
- Every diet should be supervised by a health professional cannot be based on a book.
- That in a previous test you are asked “Do you rush to lose weight?” I do not feel good spine (and you can find this question in the Dukan method here.)
- There are no miracle diets. As my grandfather, the best diet is one that is based on that for less money and more shoe leather! Do not do terrible things.
Quick ways to lose weight is not that easy. But with determination and hard work, you can do it.
