Dukan Diet

Dukan diet is similar to a ketogenic diet as both emphasise the consumption of fat and protein but omit carbohydrates. The body will turn to glycogen stores (carbohydrates) for energy first if supplies are plentiful.

Ketogenic diets essentially force the body to switch from burning carbohydrates for energy to burning fat. This often has the desirable effect of weight loss, though high levels of ketones in the body can be problematic and may lead to a state known as ketosis.

The Dukan Diet is a protein-based (high protein diet) nutritional approach designed by Pierre Dukan, a French nutritionist and dietitian.

Also known as the Dukan method, this diet proposes a healthy eating plan based on how primitive hunter-gatherers used to eat.

The Dukan diet is based on the theory that a lot of protein can help people lose weight because:

• it is low in calories.

• it makes a person feel full.

• digesting protein uses more energy and therefore more calories.

Restricting the intake of carbohydrates and fats puts the body induces a starvation-like state, which forces the body to use fat stores for energy.
