The man running after wild animals increases the muscles.And then eats meat rich in protein and bad fat.After all, wild animals are also difficult for fat in the fight for life.And women were collecting herbs and roots, vegetables.It was women who raised up to 60 percent of the diet of a cave man.At the same time, in the life of cave people, the fruity period was very short, for example, August-September.It was a month of loading carbohydrates.But then the pancreas began to produce insulin, which quickly turned carbohydrates from fruit into fat needed for "high quality" wintering.At the same time, the man was constantly hungry.But when a primitive man became more civilized, he began to cook fruit configurations and keep it.And this way, make "fat" reserves for yourself.

Phase third - consolidation

2 pieces of bread a day;
40 g of ripe cheese;
2 servings of starch per week (for example: potatoes, pasta, rice, yeast, beans, peas).
Once or twice a week you can afford a "holiday" - eat everything you want!But no more than twice a week and not in a row.
Pure protein day- Required once a week (we return to stage # 1).
Fourth Phase - Stabilization
As a matter of fact, at this stage you are returning to normal meals.However, watching two important principles:

To lose weight, open the doors of happiness
According to Ducan, there are only ten doors of happiness.He wrote a separate book about it.

- The first door is food.This is one of the most important foundations of life - if you do not eat, you will die.And you will enjoy food.
- The second door is sex.Sex is not just as a physical principle, but as love, as emotion.
- The third door is power.The more influence you have, the greater the release of serotonin - the hormone of happiness.
- The fourth door is your cozy home,Where it is nice to come back, an important moment in a happy life.
- Fifth door- Physiology, everything related to our body, including sports.
- Sixth- Nature and everything it gives, that is, fresh air, green greenery, the smell of the earth ...
- Seventh- attachment to their social group, whether it is a group of interests or work.
- Eighthly- Everything related to the game, fun.
These eight doors have both humans and animals.But the two remaining doors are only inherent in people.
- Ninth gates- All sacred, religion and not only.
- And the tenth- Beauty.Only we can admire and enjoy beauty.
If you have all these ten doors open, you are happy, you get serotonin.But if one of them is closed, you feel its lack.And you start eating, opening the first, closer neck wide.
