It is difficult to find a dietary nutrition system that allows the consumption of sweet pastries. This makes it difficult to follow a diet by people who can not imagine life without such delicacies. The desire to lose weight, not excluding desserts from the menu, makes them supporters of a meal plan developed by French nutritionist Pierre Ducane. He invented a diet that allows you to reach the goal, while continuing to use various sweets, including cupcakes. Store muffins will not do for this - muffins according to Dyukan are prepared according to special recipes. They do not have flour, sugar, a large amount of fat, they have a low calorie content, but they turn out tasty and appetizing.

Choosing a cake recipe, you need to check with the list of ingredients that can be used at that stage of the diet, at which you are currently located.

- Most often, the flour in dough for muffins according to Dyukan is replaced with oat bran or corn starch. Bran before use must be crushed to a state of powder. Starch is used only from the second stage of the Dukanov diet.
