Making the Dukan Diet Attack Phase More Palatable
The Dukan diet is a regime, created by French nutritionist Dr. Pierre Dukan, that promises fast weight loss. I lost 4lbs in the first 5 days during my Attack phase. The Dukan diet has been especially designed with diet motivation and satisfaction in mind. Accordingly, people attempting the Dukan diet can expect to see fast weight loss, virtually no hunger pangs or food cravings, and no calorie counting or food weighing. Let’s take a quick look at these benefits of the Dukan diet.
Fast weight loss is a huge motivating factor in any diet. When you can see the pounds dropping off. When your clothes fit better and other people compliment you on your weight loss, you feel motivated to keep on going. If you are rapidly losing weight but you feel hungry all the time and craving all your favourite food and snacks, you can quickly lose motivation. You are also more likely to give up on your diet if eating becomes a chore; with calories needing counting and food having to be carefully weighed and measured. The Dukan diet anticipates all these motivation killers and manages to avoid them. On the Dukan diet you will lose weight fast and you won’t feel hungry or have to count calories and weigh food. You can eat as much as you like of the allowed foods.
The most rapid weight loss on the Dukan diet is during the first phase, called the Attack phase. Dr. Dukan, through 30 years of experience as a nutritionist helping people lose weight, knows that dieters are the most determined during the first few days of their diet. He designed the Dukan diet with this in mind and came up with what he calls the Attack phase. Depending on the weight loss goals, the attack phase lasts from 2-7 days. These days are protein only days. Dieters can eat most meats and fish, as well as eggs. Dairy products such as cottage cheese, yogurt, quark and skimmed milk can be eaten as long as they are the non-fat varieties.
These foods can be eaten as often as the dieter feels hungry. The high protein content means dieters feel full very quickly and don’t suffer hunger pangs. Fibre is added to the diet in the form of oat bran. A recommended 1.5 litres+ of water should be drunk every day for the benefit of the dieter’s kidneys. After a few days the diet should see weight loss of up to 6lbs.
Although you will lose weight and not feel hungry, you may find the menu during the Attack phase is a little bland. While you are not allowed to fry your meat, or add fatty or sugary sauces you can still make your food more palatable with a few flavour intensive additions.
Whilst on the Attack phase of the Dukan diet you can flavour your food with almost all herbs and spices. Although you must be careful with salt. Vinegar may be used to add tang, lemon juice can give zing and you can spice up your food with chillies. Rather than grilling your chicken breast as it is, you could leave it in a marinade of yogurt and tikka spices overnight. Finely chopped pickles mixed with yogurt and a squirt of lemon makes a tasty dip.
Sweeteners are also permitted on the Dukan diet. For those of you with a sweet tooth, a vanilla pod, skimmed milk and egg yolks (with sweetener to taste) is all you need for a delicious dairy dessert. Mix these ingredients together in the morning, transfer to a pot and put it in the fridge – you’ll have a real treat waiting for you when you get home.
The pure protein days of the Dukan diet are the most effective weight loss days but they don’t have to be the hardest. With a little ingenuity you can find the flavours to jazz up all of your allowed foods.
