Review

Pierre Dukan's diet is often criticized, especially, colleagues in the lab.Thus, Jean-Michelle Cohen nutrition expert convinced the court that protein diets can cause heart disease and breast diseases.Now the opponent has to pay Cohen more than a few thousand dollars.The author of the book "Bible of Literature", Zhenny de Jonkier, considers the lack of hunger the only advantage of the Dukan system.Another nutritionist, Katrin Lefevr, is sure that protein dominance, especially during the attack, will not pass without consequences for the kidneys.The correlation of dietism put Ducan's diet the first in the list of worst diets.According to experts (the nutritional health service, the environment and the work), such a diet can violate the process of metabolism, the level of cholesterol, as a result of cardiovascular complications, kidneys and rectum.Therefore, we remind you: Before adjusting the weight with diets, consult a specialist.
