Dukan Diet-Day One Attack Phase

Best Low Calorie Protein Shake
I downloaded the Dukan Diet book to my Kindle. For the most part, I try to just count calories & exercise to lose weight. This has worked wonderfully for me. Especially if I can run and keep the calorie count to 1200-1400 per day. Lately, however, I have been hungry all the time.


Carb-starved, as I like to call it. I have not stuck to my calorie counting. I am still exercising and running but not making the best eating choices and my weight is up. This diet has intrigued me since I heard about it on the Dr. Oz show. I read the 4-Hour Body book.


While it was very good, the diet just did not work for me. It is hard to stick to any diet that is low carb when you don't eat meat. So, I decided to try this one. It has a few paragraphs about what you can eat as a vegetarian during the attack phase. These two books have so many similarities (low carb, cold therapy, etc). And differences. One is the oat bran.


You have to have 1 1/2 tbsp. Dukan Diet. 4HB makes you eat beans. No beans on Dukan Diet in this phase. Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs, Protein shake (water, Lean 1, 6 oz Chobani 0%, 1 c. Lunch: 1 bocca burger, Protein shake (1/2 cup non-fat milk, 5 star Whey Protein powder - 1 level scoop, 4 oz Chobani 0%, Amazing Grass Cocoa, 1 c. You are supposed to have 1 1/2 quarts of water each day. I can tell you I have had more.


When I intake a ton of protein, this is what it does to me--it makes me thirsty. I also ran 10 miles today. From reading this book (I could skip the chapters on obesity, smokers, etc.), I will feel really tired tomorrow. This is due to the lack of carbs.


I do have to say that I am not hungry at all today. I do feel tired, but that is probably due to me getting up at 4:30AM and running the 10 miles. PS I had to revise my original post. When it came time for dinner, I just could not have another protein shake. I was too full! Since I knew I needed the oat bran, I made the Dukan diet oat bran gallette (pancake).


Since these shakes don’t leave you as full, as when eating a substantial meal, then you can consume more calories and hence gain weight quicker. If you are an athlete or just training hard then certain, meal replacement shakes can also be of great benefit. Athletes that train hard need more calories, proteins, and essential nutrients.


Real good shakes contain lots of energies, plenty of proteins and nutrients to help you recover. The best time to take a shake that is high in proteins and carbohydrates is within an hour after your workout. When choosing a meal replacement shake for weight loss purposes then choose something that is low in fat but still have enough calories to give you some energy. A shake that only contains 100 calories is not sufficient to replace a meal.


Ideally, the calories should be around 300 calories with some healthy fats, plenty of proteins and carbohydrates. For weight loss, you don’t want to pick something that is high in refined carbs and sugar. Meal replacement and weight loss shake come in a variety of types. This includes low-calorie, low-fat, low-carbohydrate, and high-protein.


Some of the more popular shakes for weight loss are Slim-fast and Atkins chocolate shake. There are lots of brands and types of products with varied ingredients, so for an example I will focus on this two shakes now. The carbohydrate content of the low-carbohydrate Atkins shake is only 5 grams. The vast majority of it comes from dairy protein blend and cocoa powder. Slim Fast has 25 grams of carbohydrates that mostly come from simple sugars such as high fructose sugar.


This is not a good source of carbs because simple sugars get absorbed quickly and, therefore, give a huge blood sugar spike. Medifast has 13 grams of carbs per serving, which comes from oat fiber, fructose, maltodextrin, corn syrup solids and sweet dairy whey. Atkins shakes there is also acesulfame potassium as an ingredient and Slim-Fast has acesulfame potassium and sucralose added.


All of these brands are fortified with minerals and vitamins in relatively similar amounts. Every shake offers vitamin E, C, A and K, as well as B-complex vitamins. Medifast and Slim-Fast are also fortified with vitamin D. All brands also contain essential minerals like manganese, zinc, iron, iodine, copper, selenium, calcium and chromium.


Medifast has only 1 gram of fat with no saturated or trans fat. The Atkins shake includes 10 grams of fat, from which 3.5 grams are saturated fats. This is due to the sunflower and cream that are the ingredients in the Atkins shake. Slim-Fast has a total of 6 grams of fat per serving with 2 grams coming from saturated fats. The fats in the product are hydrogenated soybean oil and canola oil. The most amount of protein, a total of 15 grams per serving, is included in the Atkins shake.


This is compared to the 10 grams of protein in Slim-Fast and 11 grams in Medifast. The types of proteins that are contained in all three brands are from milk protein concentrate and soy protein concentrate. The protein compounds in Medifast include milk protein isolate and whey protein isolate. Atkins consists of calcium caseinate, whey protein concentrate, and milk protein concentrate.
