People who are overweight and want to lose weight are probably familiar with the Ducane method. The nutritional plan he developed is one of the protein diets, that is, it implies a restriction in the consumption of fatty and high-carbohydrate foods. Instead of potatoes, pasta and similar products, bran is added to the diet, which contains a lot of fiber, due to which the body is cleansed. Dyukanovskaya diet consists of three stages: “Attack”, “Alternation” and “Fixation”. The first stage is the strictest; at subsequent stages, indulgence is allowed. Cottage cheese is a product that can be eaten even in the first days of the diet. Dukan followers have come up with many recipes for cottage cheese dishes, not contrary to the principles of diet. Dukan cheesecakes do not contain flour and sugar, but they are tasty and appetizing.
Cooking Features
When cooking cheesecakes according to Dyukan it is necessary to follow several rules.
- Many housewives add flour or potato starch to the dough for cheesecakes to make it more dense, and the products themselves keep their shape better. By dieting, these foods must be excluded. The density of the dough will help give crushed bran. At the last stage of the diet, it is acceptable to add cornstarch. Do not break cheesecakes help eggs.
- Cheesecakes would not be a dessert if it were not for their sweetish taste. Sugar on the Dukan diet is prohibited. It is proposed to replace natural sweeteners. The most successful choice is stevia: it contains almost no calories, no negative side effects on the body, retains its properties when heated and is many times sweeter than sugar. The amount of stevia can be any - it all depends on how much you prefer sweet cheesecakes. Before adding to the dough it does not hurt to dissolve in a spoonful of warm water.
- If you do not know where to add bran in order to eat the required daily amount of this product, pay attention to the recipes of bran cheesecakes. Before using the bran must be crushed. This can be done with a blender or coffee grinder. Another option - crush bran in a mortar.
- To improve the organoleptic qualities of cheesecakes, cooked according to Ducan, you can add vanilla and cinnamon to them. Starting from the second stage, you can put greens and berries in the dough. At the second and third stages of the diet, greens and berries can be added to yogurt, which is used as a sauce with which cheesecakes are served.
- Only low-fat products are suitable for cooking Ducane cheesecakes.
- Observing a diet, frying food in a pan is not the best idea. It is best to bake cheesecakes in the oven, brushing the baking sheet with butter or spreading the dough in silicone molds, which the dough will not stick to, even if they are not lubricated. Cook cheesecakes can also be in the microwave or multicooker. If you still intend to fry cheesecakes in the traditional way, take a pan with a non-stick coating and cover it with the thinnest layer of oil using a cooking brush.
You can serve cheesecakes according to Dyukan with sugar-free yoghurt.
