The Dukan Diet

The Dukan Diet originally came from France but it has now been spreading in the US. In France, this diet was very popular and its books has sold millions of copies in different languages. However, a New York City based nutritionist claimed that the Dukan Diet is just a glorified version of the Atkin’s Diet.

Apparently, we are all aware that the Atkin’s Diet is just a fad diet. According to some experts, the Dukan Diet doesn’t have any scientific data and it is just a modified version of the popular fad diet, the Atkin’s Diet.

The Dukan Diet centers on protein but it is also highly restrictive especially in the early stages. However, this type of diet doesn’t have enough research to back up its claims to weight loss. Aside from that, it also allows minimum exercise of 20 minutes per day.

Experts are also looking into the restrictions of vegetables and fruits in the early stages of the diet. Obviously, fruits and vegetables are key sources of nutrition. If these will be restricted, the chances of developing nutrition deficiency are very high. It can even cause conditions such as high cholesterol and even kidney complications due to the high protein intake.

Just like other fad diets, the Dukan Diet is just a mere fad diet and cannot be considered as a healthy maintainable lifestyle. It is not only expensive but it is also dangerous. If you are looking for an effective weight loss diet, then you should start eating balanced meals and have regular exercise.
