I can not lose weight by Dr. Pierre Dukan

The flagship title of the book by Dr. Pierre Dukan has already attracted over one million readers. The author of the book preface sentences shock: "20 million French people are overweight, 35 to 40 000 each year. Who cares? You! But you do not know what to do. "

8 years after its publication more than a million French bought this book, tried and adopted the Dukan diet. The method is simple, even extremely simple. An attack phase during which the candidate for weight loss only eat protein , no quantity limits, or frequency. This first step does not exceed 10 days each and determine the duration depending on the weight he has to lose. In three days you can expect to lose up to 2, 5 kg with at least 1 kg from day one. Not motivating?

Then follows the cruise phase known to be maintained until reaching the proper weight. The nuance is significant, it is a perfect weight but a reasonable weight and therefore attainable. It must take particular account of age. I do not know if the love boat during this phase of protein alternatives where these are accompanied by vegetables.

When we reached its proper weight, it is especially important not lower our guard because we must remain voluntary and concentrated to attack the consolidation. This step is probably the most important. It should take 10 days per pound lost. Do your maths!

The final stage of thinness is found the final stabilization. This is a resolution to life: one day a week of pure protein, consumed daily 3 tablespoons of oat bran and leave the elevators in favor of the stairs. You have to choose one day a week to eat only proteins (eg Thursday) and never deviate. That's the advice of Dr. Dukan because if we start by changing the day we finally abandon the practice essential to maintain her weight.

Bag lunch

Lunch at work, finally on the run as they say commonly, does not necessarily mean a choice. The lack of canteen, distance from home or during limited hours we sometimes require.

In this situation eat a healthy and balanced is not always obvious and requires a little ingenuity. Lasse rubbery sandwiches from the corner convenience stores, small salads in their trays topped with orange sauce and their age-old did not like too go alone to the restaurant, I finally found the solution.

Opportunely flipping through the catalog presents loyalty U stores , I spotted and purchased with my points, what they call the lunch bag. This clever little cooler incorporates three insulated boxes that go from freezer to microwave (through the dishwasher). One box contains a sealed bag that is put to chill.

The frozen bag is deposited on a grid in one of the boxes, the bottom remains usable. Cold is distributed throughout the cooler. The other two boxes can be compartmentalized or not with a removable bin. The closure system wisely called "Lock & Lock" guarantees a perfect seal.

So now I can cook a full meal: salad, main dish to be reheated in the microwave, dessert or fruit. I am not afraid of breaking the cold chain and I can vary my meals.

Instead of their endless sleeping pills, anxiolytics their harmful, they should prescribe cures listening to this radio station I discovered a few years ago while I was just at the hospital to undergo an intervention surgery. Good at the time I tried not to laugh too, because the convulsions were pulling me to tears.

With this station, I rediscovered some fun with comedians because for once it was not the sketches worn too often seen and heard on television but real gems. And then there are artists who changed the registry as Roland Magdane or those too soon disappeared. I think Elie Kakou and Deerhunter which I am a huge fan.

By car I do not leave the FM band and I remain connected to laugh and songs . I still watch out not to let myself be carried away by the hoax telephone Jean-Yves Lafesse because you have to stay focused while driving. This one makes me laugh out loud even if sometimes plays on the border of the ribald joke. Let us not prudes, these sketches crispy us agreeable tinkling the zygomatic.

Although the effectiveness of this measure is not proven and that the majority of French people say they have trouble getting used to, we must spend. While for most of us it only takes a few days to adjust, however it is more difficult for the elderly, the sick and young children.

I think not enter any of these categories and yet I have a lot of dog to sleep at night and my body refuses to get out of its torpor when my alarm clock rings at 6:00. Sure the clock radio displays well the usual time to lift but my clock biological remained at the old hours.

Finally I console myself thinking of the long summer evenings. When warm weather arrives it is a significant benefit from prolonged sunlight and by then I think I'll set my clock problems.
