Dukan Diet Side Effects
What is the Dukan diet?
Since the recent media furore over the Dukan Diet, many dieters have been left wondering whether the diet is actually healthy and worth trying. To answer this we need to look at what the Dukan diet is, and how it works.
The Dukan Diet is first and foremost a protein rich diet which eliminates carbs and fats in order to put the body in to a state of Ketosis. This idea is hardly new and most people will immediately recogonise this as a variation on the once famous Atkins Diet plan.
Ketosis is where the body is forced to use its own fat reserves to provide energy, as the body’s preferred source of energy (carbohydrates) is restricted. However, the Dukan Diet goes one step further and not only limits all carbs (both good and bad) but also limits certain dairy products and healthy fats.
