Have you ever wondered why “miracle diets” often lead to a rebound effect almost always?
When diets are too strict, they force the body to slow down its metabolism, causing foods that were once “harmless” to become real weight gain bombs.
In the quest for healthier alternatives, our Kiwilimón team dedicated themselves to searching for (and testing) some diets to verify their effectiveness. Here we share our experience with the Dukan diet:
1. It’s a diet that works gradually
Unlike miracle diets that promise to lose many kilos in a short time, the Dukan diet works in a somewhat slower but steady manner.
2. Its stages are easier to follow
Since the diet consists of 4 stages, it is easier to follow without losing motivation. The best part is the variety that prevents boredom.
3. With the Dukan diet, you don’t go hungry
Being a diet based on protein foods, the feeling of fullness is almost constant, so you don’t feel cravings or the urge to snack between meals.
You lose fat, not muscle tissue.
The good thing about this type of regimen is that by consuming protein-rich foods, you ensure that your muscles will be maintained and you will only lose fat.
Your diet gradually adapts to avoid rebound.
The goal of the phases is to lose weight, but also to stabilize and maintain it. If you don’t want to live on a diet forever, you should try the Dukan alternative.
In addition to following the stages of the Dukan diet, it is important that you exercise for at least 30 minutes a day to see results more quickly. Are you encouraged to try it? With these protein-packed recipes, you can start the first stage:
