How long will it take this time? On this question, there is no fixed answer. During the attack depends on the number of pounds you are trying to lose, age, and number of previous diets you have followed (as with previous diets as body even increased its defensive system and will prevent further loss pounds).

• For those who want to lose more than 20 kg is recommended between 7 and 10 days but not more than 10 days.
• For those who want to lose 10 to 20 pounds is recommended review period of 5 days.
• For those who want to lose less than 10 kg is recommended during the attack three days.

Authorized food

During this period you will be able to eat more food in 8 categories approved will necessarily have to eat food every day in 2 categories. These 10 categories are:

Category 1 - Red meats with less fat:

• Beef can eat grill or roast (of course without any oil, butter, etc). Are allowed only low-fat cuts of meat: filet mignon, avoiding muscle but not necessarily spare ribs and ribs.
• Calf: here is allowed chops and liver (cholesterol if you allow it).
• Pork and lamb are not allowed.

You can cook these meats anyway, you want but without using these oils, butter, cream, etc... How training is recommended but you can also grill them or roast in the oven ready.

Category 2 - animal bodies:

In this category, only liver and language are permitted.

We recommend beef liver, veal and chicken. The only downside is that the liver is so very much cholesterol for those with high cholesterol levels is not recommended to eat more.

Language allowed veal and lamb because they are the least fat.

Category 3 - fish:

Of this family, all foods are allowed. Are allowed and smoked fish, especially smoked salmon. In addition, canned fish as long as it is preserved in its own sauce or a tomato sauce but not oil!

Category 4 - seafood:

Allowed all shellfish: shrimp, crab, lobster, crawfish, langoustine, oysters, mussels, mollusks and shells Saint-Jacques.

Category 5 - birds:

All birds are allowed outside the flat beak meaning: goose and duck. Attention! The only thing that is not permitted for use as poultry skin is extremely oily. Thus, although birds may be cooked with skin (baked chicken, etc.) have to remove the skin before you eat.

Chicken is of course recommended but avoid its fatty parts (fins, skin, etc). The chicken is suggested.

The rabbit is an animal very weak and can eat any portion thereof.

Category 6 - delicacies (sausages):

You can eat all the delicacies that do not contain fat: turkey, chicken, smoked beef fillet ones (like capriccio of beef, broccoli, etc.).

You cannot eat ham but if you find fat.

Category 7 - eggs:

Eggs can be eaten boiled or scrambled eggs cooked without oil to use for cooking.

Dr. Dukan also recommends adding shrimp or prawns to make eggs more interesting. You can also make omelets and a few slices of onion.

Although remaining above discussed foods can be eaten in, any quantity problem with eggs is their high cholesterol content. Thus, it is recommended to consume only between 3 to 4 eggs with yolks a week. Instead, whites can be consumed at any time without any restrictions - as I mentioned above it is the purest form of protein in existence. It is also recommended that when making omelets to use the yolk for every two whites - so you keep the yolk taste but omelets will be healthier.

Category 8 - fat dairy (yogurt and cheese with 0% fat):

Attention! Can be consumed only 100% dairy fat that is with 0% fat. Half-fat dairy products are not allowed.

This milk is not accepted unless in very small quantities (i.e. 0% less milk in coffee) because it contains lactose, which is sugar. Lactose is removed when milk is turned into cheese.

Therefore, you can eat yogurt and cheese with 0% fat in unlimited quantities. There are also market and yogurt with 0% fat, sweetened with aspartame, sucrose, etc. - are allowed and of course as long as they are sweetened with sugar.

There are also market and yogurt with 0% fat but with fruit - these are not recommended during the attack but can be eaten in small quantities in the rest periods.

And now we come to the mandatory category from our list:

Category 9 - a minimum of a half liter of water per day

Drinking water is extremely important in Dukan regime and therefore a half-liter minimum is required. Food waste (waste) that the body creates when consuming fats should be eliminated. The only way that they can be removed is by drinking water.

In addition, drinks like coffee and tea (with a little milk and sweeteners 0%) and Coca Cola light and other light drinks (with no sugar sweeteners) are allowed.

It is recommended to drink water with every meal - from the beginning, during and at the end table.

Category 10 to 1 and a half-tablespoon of oat bran per day

What is oat bran?

For many years Dukan, diet did not include the first two steps any flour product. Dr Dukan Oat bran found in a congress of cardiology in America. Oat bran is the outer casing of the oat seed. They are rich in soluble fiber and pectin. Soluble fiber helps the absorption of large quantities of water - about 22 times higher than any other fiber. Thus, once the oat bran reach the gastrointestinal tract absorb water and other nutrients present there and occupying a large extend. This has two effects:

Absorb water and fat thus reducing the number of fat consumed are reabsorbed into the blood and occupies more space thus creating a feeling of fullness almost immediately.

Many studies show that due to the properties described above, oat bran helps stabilize blood sugar levels (good for diabetics) and helps to reduce cholesterol levels.

Oat bran negative aspect is that the same mechanism described above, they absorb valuable vitamins and nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, we recommend taking a multivitamin supplement to compensate for this loss. Also, if you take certain medications daily is recommended to wait an hour after eating oat bran for taking these drugs. In general, experts and including Dr Dukan recommends eating 3 tablespoons of oat bran a day is ideal for health.

How to use

During the attack must eat a tablespoon and a half of oat bran per day.
