Thread: Sonyas Dukan Diary .....the start to a new thinner healthier me!

8 children - wow that is amazing, no wonder you miss Friday night wine. Lovely to hear how motivated you are feeling - I have that feeling every morning when I wake up and am not trying to move 276lbs out of bed anymore!!! Now I spring out and into the shower thinking how lovely it is to be 88lb thinner!! It is a great diet - get on with some muffin baking cos they truly have been a HUGE staple on this diet - look at the orange Duffin recipe and take out the choc/orange and substitute for vanilla if you prefer!!!

You say wow 8 children..I say WOW 88lb!!!!!!!! Now that's AMAZING! I will see if I can find some muffin recipes, what a great site this is! I LOVE all the brilliant stories and feedback x

Thanks Sonya - muffin recipe in the recipe section. Defo would not have been so easy without my Minimins friends - there a great bunch of people and truly inspiring!!!

Oh My Sonya 8 children - I have enough and I've only 2 and both grown up - by the eck and your dieting too - I take my cap off to you love - lol

muffins are delish - this is what I do but there are a number of recipes floating around the forum ...........

4 large eggs
4 Tbl sweetner
4 Tbl 0% plain yoghurt
squirt of dukan flavouring - I have a collection now from the Dukan website coconut, mocha, nougat, hazelnut & caramel (all my favs)
add all together and beat with a whisk
stir in 4 tbl of oatbran & 2 Tbl of wheat bran (2 days allowance in cruise)

I use silicone muffin trays and out of the above batch I get approx 6 muffins so thats 3 each day. I have a fan oven and cook on 180degs for 18 - 20 mins. prefer them a bit well done otherwise they can be a bit soggy.

Love them cannot for the life of me cook a decent galette and not keen on dukan bread so I have muffins everyday havent got fed up of them yet. I make a load usually on a Sunday for the rest of the working week and freeze them. Take 3 out at night for the following day. I take them to work to have with my coffee

Just a quick update as rushing out to take my sons to rugby(in the pouring rain) oh joy! I am so excited I had to post. 6.2lb loss on attack!!!!!! Wwoooo hooooooooooo!!!! So happy!!!! And motivated!! Will post menu later . I am buzzing so much I might join in with the rugby haha! Only downside not been to the loo properly for 3 days. (Help!!) X

Well done Sonya - not had that problem before but I have heard of others taking Senakot???? Should be better now you are on cruise and can have some veggies......... What a great start you have made. Keep going!

Thank you! You are my inspiration to carry on its the rhubarb season coming up so it will hopefully be easier to find x

Ok so a late weekend update.
Sat
0 fat yog and oatbran
Green tea

Fajita spiced chicken and low fat cottage cheese

Went out with friends(already planned)

Spiced prawns
Chicken tikka
3 glasses of diet coke
2 ltre water

I wondered how I would get on going out for the meal but I was surprisingly strong. I did not touch one grain of rice or a piece of naan bread. I was chuffed to bits with myself , as I LOVE indian food. It just goes to show this Dukan plan does not have to spoil your social life. I still had a great night out.
Sunday- end of attack....total loss 6.2lb!!!!!!woo hoo! So excited!

Sunday-day1 of cruise
Yoghurt and oatbran

2 slices roast beef and half a tub of low fat cottage cheese


Chicken breast , green cabbage, swede.
2 pints diet coke(this would usually be 2 glasses of wine at the rugby club after the match)

1 litre of water.- not enough I know

We have quite a busy social life due to our boys playing rugby, there are lots of after match get togethers and fundraisers so I was so pleased to be on the diet coke . I still had a GREAT time, even better for the fact that a few people said how great I look! (Er yes! Even after 6lb I am looking more healthy!)
So... I am sticking to this "with a little help from my friends" you have all been FANTASTIC!!!!!!
Off to make some muffins and to blast some music while I dance around the house doing my housework. We all clear our the clutter from our houses, so I am gonna clear out my body clutter!!!
Ps- lost another few ounces overnight ! Thanks again you lovely ladies. I hope you all have a fab monday. Be really proud of yourselves at how much you are helping the newbies like me x

Thanks ellie, you are all helping me stay motivated! X

no problem i do near enough the same recipe as chris but with only 2 eggs and 5 tbsp of yoghurt and they turn out fine... make sure you use a silicone muffin tray or silicone cases otherwise you will be picking most of your muffins out the paper cases lol. home bargains have the trays for £1.99 if you have a shop nr you.
Rhubarb can be hard to get.... ive found my local tesco has it fresh now and then... asdas have a 500gm pack frozen for £2.99 i think but the best place for it is farmfoods .... £1 for a 750gm bag.... its beside the frozen veg usually
