Dyukan's diet

The name of this nutritionist became the name of the household: "I sit on the Dukan", at least one of our friends or said such words.Not surprisingly, Pierre Ducan has been studying (and continuing to investigate) his patient's food habits for 25 years and developed the author's weight loss methodology.Not only his patients, but all who dream of becoming slimmer after publishing the book "I can't lose weight" talked about it.And that's, we'll be honest, almost everything.In addition to a systematic and understandable attitude, several books, more than 500 prescriptions, have become popular with a doctor's diet due to an individual interactive online coaching program.The point is that at any time you will be supported by nutritionists (including Dukan itself), I repair the program from night species to the refrigerator.
