Cooking Features
In order to properly prepare the cheesecake according to Dyukan, it is necessary to know the basic principles of the nutrition system developed by him.
- The Dukan Diet is divided into 4 stages. The first one is “Attack,” the most stringent stage in which only protein products are allowed and one and a half tablespoons of oat bran is required per day. The second stage - “Alternation”, it involves the alternation of protein and protein-vegetable days. At this phase, bran is required to eat a little more (2 tablespoons per day), the use of cornstarch is allowed. In the third stage (“Fastening”), low-fat cheese, fruits and berries can be added to the diet. Everything is allowed later, but you need to arrange fasting days. Flour, sugar, fatty foods are prohibited at all stages of the Dukan diet. Vegetable oil is used in a minimum amount: they can grease the baking dish with a cloth or a cooking brush.
- The basis of Dukan cheesecake is low-fat cottage cheese. Starting from the third stage, you can use soft cheese with fat content not higher than 15%. You can thicken the base or top layer with starch, bran, agar-agar, gelatin.
- Instead of sugar, zero-calorie sweeteners are added to the dough and cream. Especially popular among supporters of Dukan are sweeteners such as Fitpard, stevia.
- Ducane cheesecake can be coated with a thin layer of jelly. For its preparation, you can take coffee, tea (including karkade), lemon juice. For cooking cheesecake on the 3rd or 4th stages of the diet, you can use almost all the berry and fruit juices.
When choosing a cheesecake recipe, check the list of products allowed at that stage of the diet you are on. Calculate a portion based on how much bran, starch and other products that make up the cake, you can eat during the day.
