The Dukan diet is now very popular. This is not surprising, because the effectiveness of its use is really high: many women and men were able to lose excess weight using this weight loss technique.
The diet is divided into 4 stages, the first of which is called “Attack”. During this short phase, only protein is allowed (fish in any form, meat, eggs, dairy products with 0% fat). Despite the fact that at first glance this stage may seem difficult, during these 1-10 days you are allowed to treat yourself to a delicious dish - pancakes. Thanks to Pierre Dukan and his thoughtful nutrition system, you have a large selection of food recipes. The main thing is that their ingredients fit the conditions of the “Attack”.
If you wish, you can cook just pancakes, but if you want to try something original, you can add filling to the pancake - the dish will acquire a new taste and significantly diversify your diet.
Attack: pancakes

- a pair of chicken eggs;
- a couple of tablespoons of low-fat curd or cottage cheese;
- double rate of skim milk;
- 20 gram shot of boiling water;
- a tablespoon of bran, which needs to be ground into flour;
- sweetener to taste;
- half a teaspoon of ripper.
How to do:

- Now it’s time to add cottage cheese. Beat until lumps disappear.

Cooking features
Briefly about the diet itself, which consists of the following stages:
- 1. “Attack” - lasts from 5 to 10 days, when the most intense weight loss occurs.
- 2. “Cruise” (“Alternating”) - can last as long as you like, depending on how you feel and the desired final result. Alternate the consumption of protein and carbohydrate foods.
- 3. "Consolidation".
- 4. "Stabilization".
Throughout the journey, a person does not experience a painful feeling of hunger, since the diet is varied and satisfying.
To prepare delicious and aromatic pancakes and not break your diet, you should follow a number of rules:
- The Dukan diet includes four main stages, the most severe of which is considered “Attack”. There is a fairly limited range of permitted products here. The emphasis is on protein foods with low fat content. This includes eggs and oat bran. With each subsequent stage, the product list gradually expands and at the third level (“Stabilization”) the use of corn starch is acceptable. When choosing a pancake recipe, you need to check the permitted food list.
- Wheat flour and sugar are prohibited throughout the weight loss process. Pancakes are made with bran or starch. The sweetener is a sweetener, preferably stevia. The bran is first ground in a coffee grinder until it becomes floury. The sweetener is also crushed or dissolved in warm water.
- It is recommended to use a Teflon-coated frying pan, since vegetable oil can be used in minimal quantities. Therefore, a pastry brush is used to grease the pan.
- To make the pancakes thin, the dough is made thinner. If necessary, dilute it with low-fat kefir or milk.
- Only diet-approved products are used as filling. Meat and cottage cheese (0% fat) are acceptable at any stage, as are onions and garlic.
Serve ready-made pancakes with sour cream or low-calorie yogurt.
The list of permitted products is presented in the table:
Diet stage | Products |
Attack |
|
Alternation | On protein days, the same foods as on the attack. Additionally, vegetables are introduced, with the exception of potatoes, corn, beans, lentils, peas and beans |

We are all living people and, no, no, we might want to break our diet and eat something sweet. But this, alas, cannot be done. According to the Dukan method, it is forbidden to eat sweets, flour and fatty foods. After all, the main rule of this diet is to eat a lot of protein. This means that, in theory, there should be no pancakes or pancakes in the new healthy diet. But, using some little tricks and approved healthy products, it becomes possible to treat yourself to such goodies. To prepare these dishes, you most often need low-fat dairy products, oat bran, sweetener, eggs, baking powder, and corn starch. All ingredients are low in calories, but still give you a feeling of satiety. Pancakes and pancakes must be fried without oil, preferably in a non-stick frying pan.

You can fill pancakes with:
- cottage cheese, grated with sweetener and diluted cow's milk;

When can you make healthy pancakes and pancakes?
The diet consists of 4 phases:
- An attack is a kind of “attack” on the body, in which you can only eat protein foods, because they have a complex structure, and the body, digesting them, spends more calories than they contain (about 78 foods are allowed). The stage lasts no more than 10 days. At this stage, out of habit, there is a strong urge to break all the prohibitions and eat some kind of sweetness in order to somehow survive the moment of restructuring the body. In this case, it is allowed to prepare bran pancakes or pancakes. The low calorie content of the dish is explained by the fact that the recipe requires only low-fat kefir, yogurt, bran and no unhealthy additives.
- Cruise – “alternation”; Low-calorie vegetables in any form are added to the diet, but at the same time cereals, peas, corn, and potatoes are prohibited. This phase extends for more than a month. At this stage, the choice of recipes becomes larger: you can make pancakes with vegetable, meat and curd filling. This will not harm your figure, but you will no longer feel the lack of variety in your dishes. The main thing is to know when to stop everything and remember the goal you are going towards.
- Consolidation - a gradual return to the previous diet, adding some fruits, sweets, duration of this phase: 1 kg lost = 10 days. This phase allows you to let your imagination run wild and show off all your culinary talent. The ingredients for the dough also help you stay “on the wave” of a healthy diet, nothing extra, harmful or high in calories. Only grapes and bananas should not be added to the filling and cream.
- Stabilization is the last phase, which consolidates the results obtained and establishes the habit of leading a healthy lifestyle and eating right, which can become a good habit and last a lifetime. During this period, you can choose standard recipes for preparing pancakes and pancakes only once a month, giving yourself unique unhealthy free days. The rest of the time, it is preferable to prepare dishes from the right ingredients to maintain a toned figure.
