Royal Wedding Diet
According to the British Telegraph, the Dukan diet has been credited with Princess-to-be mother’s quick weight loss. Millions of copies of the popular French diet book, by author the Pierre Dukan, have been sold. With the royal wedding only days away now, the Dukan diet has gotten lots of attention, along with lots of criticism.
The French Agency for food, environmental and occupational health and safety has reported that the fad diet is unbalanced and potentially harmful. Although often successful for short-term weight loss, these trendy diets disrupt the body’s natural metabolism and may lead to serious nutritional imbalances. The key to healthy, gradual long-term weight loss is nutritional balance and supervision by a physician is always recommended.

Losing weight is an uphill battle for many people and there are so many different weight loss diet plans available to help with weight loss. The Wedding type of protein rich diet has become very popular, due to its fast weight loss. With a protein diet, a person is supposed to eat foods high in protein and to keep away from carbohydrate foods. Some diets will include days that are purely protein only and days of protein mixed with other foods. A healthy balanced diet should also include fruit and vegetables, so a protein diet only should be used for a certain number of days and not as a long term diet plan. Other health risks include kidney problems, as a result of consuming too much protein. To reduce the risk of kidney problems, it is vital to increase your water consumption and make sure you are drinking plenty of water daily while on a high protein diet. As Dr. Bashioum mentioned in his article, It is always advisable to check with your doctor before starting any weight loss plan.
