See yourself as a hunter gatherer
Did you know that the first modern men, the Homo Sapiens from the Dordogne who lived around 40,000 years BC had the same genetic programming as us?
So, it is that a cro-magnon baby adopted today by a Western family would become a perfect Westerner. When the Homo Sapiens lived, the men hunted and the women gathered. In groups, the men hunted animals for their protein. Women gathered whatever they could find, green vegetation, some fruit and any wild seeds that the birds had overlooked.
Proteins and vegetables which are the components in the Dukan slimming programme are therefore not a nutritional or emotional punishment. They are the very foods that we are most attuned to, both as far as our metabolism is concerned (proteins being the only vital nutrient) as well as emotionally.
It should also be noted that all the vitamins present in fruit are also found in vegetables. But the real similarity is to be found in the statement accompanying the foods you allowed to eat: AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE.
Primitive man was only restricted by external necessity or satiety, but never put any limit on what he ate. Therefore each day you diet, when you are swallowing down some fish, meat or poultry ... see yourself as a hunter who has caught his prey and especially if you are a woman as a gatherer exchanging her vegetables for this meat. ~Dr.Dukan
