The Dukan Diet was developed 10 years ago by the French Nutritionist DR. Pierre Dukan. The diet is based on eliminating foods rich in carbohydrates and eating as many protein foods as possible. The Dukan Diet was not only designed to successfully lose weight but also to effectively maintain your ideal physique.

The body compensates from the elimination of carbohydrates in the diet by utilizing fats as the primary source of energy. This compensation mechanism occurs during the first few days of using the diet. In this process, the end result is the production of ketones which can cause dry mouth, fruity breath, weakness, fatigue, insomnia, dizziness and nausea. Constipation can also occur if all carbohydrate sources are removed in the diet. The short-term side effects of the Dukan diet may seem harmless.

Remedies are readily available to manage the side-effects. But on the long run, nutritional deficiencies can happen with the use of this diet. Later in life, it might cause serious health problems. Deficiencies in the intake of whole grains and fruits and vegetables may lead to a lack of antioxidants. Problems of heart diseases, cancer, cataract formation and premature aging may occur later on. Although the deficiencies can be managed with multivitamin intake, still the nutrients we get from food are of better quality and quantity than what we receive from these pills.

The Dukan diet may appear the ideal diet of all. But if one takes a closer look at it, you will see its flaws. Ultimately, the diet can be considered as unbalanced. Therefore, it’s not the best diet plan for every person to follow. Always consult your physician and nutritionist for an individualized diet program to prevent any major health threats in the future.

The reality is, we don’t know, and it is too hard to find out which ones are.

In the current era we live in, everyone has an opinion on healthy lifestyles, and everyone has a theory to losing weight and living well for years to come.

As members of the general public, we need to find what is best for our own bodies, and what changes we need to take on to ensure we live a healthy life.

The age old saying, ‘listen to your body’, is right. We need to find out what foods and lifestyle activities your body benefits form, and which ones it does not.

Then we have to analyze whether or not the sacrifices will be worthwhile, and whether or not they are ones we are ready to commit to and make.

If you do happen to find a book that inspires you and assists you in making positive changes to your lifestyle, then by all means embrace it and enjoy it. But whatever you do, do not buy some random book and assume it is the gospel.

It is important to remember that while books and articles on general health and weight loss are aimed at being helpful, they often work against us.

The bottom line is, listen to your body and what it likes and dislikes. That way, you should never fail.

Written by Brian Wansink, the book is all about those times you just eat compulsively because food is there.

I mean, have you ever found yourself finishing your kids’ leftovers, or making sure you scoop up every last piece of soggy cereal at the bottom of your bowl?

Do you snack straight from the box, or even eat your lunch in front of the computer or TV just because it’s ‘there’?

The reality is that we all mindless eat from time to time, but the effects it may have on our bodies is quite significant and really should be taken seriously.

Mindless Eating really isn’t a diet book as such, and it does not have a set routine to stick by , or certain food to eat and times to eat them.

The book is all about combating negative parts of your diet and ways to improve your eating habits.

There’s no specific diet plan to follow or healthy recipes to prepare. Instead, it uncovers some of the hidden persuaders that cause us to overeat, and offers simple strategies to help us stop.

Most people are in denial about mindless eating and this book is aimed at making sure everyone knows when they are mindless eating.

Here’s an excerpt from the book:

“We make around 200 food-related decisions each day, most of which are subconscious, and few of which are related to how hungry we are. Like it or not, we’re gullible and suggestible when it comes to food. Think you’re immune? If you’ve ever found yourself finishing your kids’ leftovers, or if you regularly scoop up every last piece of soggy cereal at the bottom of your bowl, snacked straight from the box, or eaten lunch in front of the computer or TV, you’re guilty of mindless eating. But you’d never eat a bucket of stale popcorn, would you? Wansink begs to differ.”

Happy reading and dieting!!
