Dukan Diet?

wifeyttc · by **wifeyttc** » Mon May 16, 2022 1:25 pm

Well i started the Dukan diet today :hic

Went shopping at the weekend and bought enough meat too feed an army! and got the oat bran which you have to take daily.H2b decided he would try it but he is not promising he will stick to it!!He said he will give it till friday and if he hasnt lost weight by then he is ordering the biggest chipper! :o0

So i want to lose a stone altogether then i will be at my ideal weight. :o)ll

So let the fun begin! anyone else want to join us...

I just bought the book on Play.com tonight! I've been cutting right back on pasta, rice, potatoes & my favourite egg noddles the last few months so Im hoping I'll adjust quick. TBH, I feel I have much more energy since I cut back on carb dinners and lunches. I rarely eat bread or sanwiches now and I can manage just a meat & big load of veg at night.. So definitely I dont think its a fad diet, I honestly think low carb is the way to go for a lot of people..

Fingers crossed, I need to push past my plateau that I hit about 4 weeks ago! O:|

i got the book too im starting on monday,iv read about the first 2 phase's i think the attack will be the most challenging i was going to do it for 10days but on the web site i did the true weight thing and it said 4 days would be enough,i still think i will try and do it for a bit longer,the book mentioned the longer you are on the attack phase the better loss you get
good luck and keep us posted :wv

Right today is my first full day (got book yesterday and just had some lean ham for dinner last night). Ive had my yoghurt and oat bran for breakfast (had great intentions to make scrambled eggs but am dying with a cold and couldnt face it) and brought in a roast chicken breast (without skin) to have for my lunch. i read diet drinks are ok so think i will go buy some diet coke to satisfy any sweeet cravings i may get.

oh god yeh dont start talking about deliciousness that is out of my reach. i had scrambled egg and smoked salmon...was ok. had some plain ham earlier too. bought steak for tomorrow night and was reading the sauces in the book, might make Dukan bernaise or something to make it tastier. only doing this for three days then going to do cruise which i think will be way easier.

thanks!
i dont actually own weighing scales. i know how much i weighed last week as the Dr weighed me (not weight related). will go to one of those machines tomorrow and see what the damage is. hopefully a couple of lbs anyway.
