To diet, be Dukan-net
Dr. Dukan's diet has been all the rage for several years. Many women and men have embarked on this high-protein method with rapid short-term results. Concretely, it consists of four phases: attack, cruise, consolidation and stabilization.
Particularity of this formula, the only foods allowed in the first phase are animal proteins - chicken, steak, fish, eggs and dairy products. Gradually, vegetables are reintegrated, followed by other meats, bread, cheese and fruit, while maintaining one day a week "pure protein". This "PP" day, as the followers of the Dukan call it, must then be carried out once a month, for life, once the diet is over.
Tour of the forums
Like any diet, the Dukan method is not easy in the long term. This is why the Dukanets and the Dukanettes, as they are called, meet every day on the forums to take stock of their diet day. There are plenty of them on the web, whether it's the "official", those of women's sites, cooking, health or even those created expressly for the occasion. Web review by Europe1.fr.
The call for help. "Beginning of diet, a little alone!" : this is the request for support and follow-up that Estee45 launches as the number of followers of the Dukan method who register on the forums. Many SOS are poured out every day like that of toraja45, who has just regained "2 good kilos".
"I know it sucks, but it's been brewing for a while: this month, I've done anything...", she explains, detailing her discomfort. And the encouragement is not long in coming. "You've already lost 18 kilos. It's great", or "It happens. Need a little relaxation and it's about getting back in the saddle now!"
The logbook. "Morning: skimmed milk coffee; 10am: 2nd coffee; Noon: ham, minced steak and a natural yogurt; Evening: 2 cocotte eggs and flavored yogurt": this is the typical program for a day at Liza1092. Like many Dukanettes, she describes day to day what she eats. And after several detailed days, forum "friends" give her their opinion and some advice: "I don't know how to analyze menus well yet, but don't you eat too much ham?", asks caneline44.
Good plans. These forums are also an opportunity for all those who practice the Dukan diet to exchange "tested and approved" recipes. And according to Internet users, they are "delicious", as confirmed by Elody. To discover for example the "dudutella" - a lighter version of the so famous spread - or the "chokosson" - chocolate cakes with oat bran, the flagship ingredient of the Dukan diet. And with sweetener - powder or liquid -, oat bran and cocoa in reasonable quantities, the Dukanettes work wonders. Recipes that would almost make those who are not on a diet want to!
The essential. Like angelique70, cocotte76 or even lounette, it is essential to sign each message on a special Dukan diet forum with its "ruler". It allows you to display your progress in the diet, not in time, but in kilos. And several sites offer to make and customize your own ruler to measure your current pounds, and compare them with your starting weight and your goal.
