Dukan Diet and Green Tea
I have several friends who have had great success following the Dukan Diet (or as some people call it the Kate Middleton diet!). I am trying to get myself motivated because the first phase Attack Phase can be pretty grueling. But with 2 + weeks to go before Christmas it could be a good way to get started before the holiday. A jump start shall we say.
Enough about my motivation, what interested me today was a little item I read that sent me to the Dukan Diet website where I read about using green tea when you reach a diet plateau. Dr. Dukan recommends that when you hit a plateau you drink only green tea for three days instead of water – day and night too. Iced or hot, doesn’t matter, just green tea in abundance and at some point during the 3 days you will start to once again see your weight loss. Of course you must stay on the diet plan. Interesting and goes along with a study in Scandinavia a few years ago that people who drank 3 -5 cups of green tea per day seemed to burn 250+ more calories each day. So as I contemplate whether to test the Attack Phase of the Dukan Diet I know I will try to remember to add 3 cups of greet tea to my day.
Promise to keep readers posted on the Dukan Diet if I try it….I know it is not about diet it is about changing your eating patterns. But that is what the Dukan plan does. In Australia restaurants have Dukan Thursdays where they offer a meal prepared within the guidelines of the plan. The maintenance plan.
