However, remember that the "attack" phase should not last more than 10 days.
Dyukan diet for weight loss - the second "alternation" or "cruise" stadium

The second phase of the Dukan diet "alternation" obtained the name due to the alternation of two menus: protein vegetation and protein. The duration of this phase also depends on the number of kilograms with which you want to separate (see the table at the beginning of the article).

In addition, if you have a small overweight supply, you can change the menu circuit at any time. If you have more than 10 kilograms more, the 5/5 scheme will be the most successful option for you. The most successful menu options in the "alternating" phase:
- 1/1: one day protein - a day of protein with vegetables;
- 3/3: three days, protein-three days of a protein and vegetable menu;
- 5/5: five days of protein - 5 days of protein + vegetables.
The "alternation" phase fixes the results of the first stadium and the desired weight is obtained, the diet slowly begins to reconstruct and approach the usual diet. The menu of the second "alternation" phase contains the same protein products allowed in the first "Attack" stage, only now are they integrated by some vegetables. The preparation methods remain the same as when "attack" excluding frying.
Make sure that in the whole "alternation" stadium every day eats (add to plates) of 2 tablespoons. Bran d'Avena, supports the water balance in the body, drinking at least 1, 5 liters of non -cardiac water.
