Thread: Viv's Dukan Diary

Well, I'm at the end of day 4 on Attack Phase, have lost a total of 2.2kgs.
I weigh myself in the morning after going toilet, so will have to wait until tomorrow am for todays weightloss.
Today I ate:
B: 3 egg white and 1 egg yolk omlette with herby, spicy chicken from last night
L: remainder of herby, spicy chicken
D: 2 Tuna steaks
S: Yogurt and oatbran porridge
W: I'm not really measuring but I guess at least 2 ltrs

I didn't do any exercise today

Weigh in this morning - 0.1 kg lost.... not doing any exercise yesterday explains that!
Im disappointed that I only had 0.1 kg loss but I knew it was coming.
I couldnt do my usual exercise of swimming as mother nature has come, plus wednesday night I only got 4 hrs sleep and was knackered all day thurs.

Have no clue what I will eat today, probably:
B: oatbran porridge
S: SF Jelly, yogurt
L: chicken curry
S; SF Jelly, yogurt
D: some type of meat, dont know yet
E: 30 mins walking/jogging combination

Oh fiddlesticks, I've just read on another post that SF Jelly is only allowed from 'cruise' onwards..... I'm on attack still and I had two today and 1 or 2 y'day, maybe thats why I only lost 0.1kg in my weigh in this morning and it'll probably be the same tomorrow morning.... damn and blast

Not sure if I'm in ketosis or not. I haven't got the smelly breath (I think anyway ) like I remember when doing Atkins, nor do I have the metallic taste in mouth?!

I do not have constipation, just the opposite, for the last 2 days

I do, however, have loads of energy.... I cannot get to sleep at a reasonable hour at night and I always, without fail, wake at 6am.
For the past 4 nights I have had only about 22 hours sleep, whereas, if I was eating carbs I would need at least 9 hours sleep a night to feel refreshed the next day.

Did anyone else experience attack this way?

SF jelly is allowed in ALL stages but only 3 portions a day during Attack

OK, I no weight loss today I STS

What am I doing wrong?

This is exactly what I ate y'day:

B: oatbran porridge
S: SF Jelly, yogurt
L: chicken curry - this was made by my helper, it was really salty (maybe water retention now?)
S; SF Jelly, yogurt
D: lean slice of pork chop, all visible fat removed - again, made by my helper, but did not taste salty

E: 30 mins walking/jogging combination
W: probably 1.5 ltrs water and about 10 coffees, 2 teas

Please, can anyone pinpoint where I went wrong?
Much appreciated.

Pork ISNT allowed until Conso

What was the chicken curry made from? The base for a decent curry during Attack can only be made from very basic ingredients, ie; yogurt, spices, water..

What kind of yogurt are u eating? Very limited types of yogurt r suitable for Dukan. Maybe you're not eating enough "pure" proteins!

Good advice from Zoe there Viv, and youll have to coach your helper in how not to use as much salt, drink loade to help flush it out, drop the pork as its very fatty even though it doesnt look like it and post the yoghurt information so we can see what your eating. Hng in there as you could sts then have a good weight loss good luck viv

Hi Ladies,

OK, so..... I don't want to say it, but I have to.... I cheated on my diet just 10 mins ago , what am I going to do?
Should I just carry on as normal or do a restart of attack phase?

I just went out this morning and bought the diet book and the '100 eat as much as you want foods' book which I can see is totally useless.....

Really what should I do?

Also the yogurt I have been eating is a homemade yogurt....
I use Fat Free High Calcium UHT milk and a store bought lite n' healthy plain yogurt (this is the best one I can get here, all others are full fat)

per 100ml of Milk:
Protein: 3.9g
Fats Total: 0.4g
Saturated: 0.2g
Sugars: 4.9g
Sodium: 45mg

per 100g Yogurt:
Protein: 4.9g
Fats Total: 0.8g
Saturated: 0.5g
Sugars: 11.4g
Sodium: 66mg

I use about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt as a starter for 1 litre of milk



The chicken curry was made using water and spices, but too much salt was added.

Carry on regardless, love and don't look back.

Have a great day

Thanks Pauline.... I just need a big kick up the backside

Just back in from 25mins walk/jogg combination

Ok, so weigh in for y'day's weight loss 89.3 - 0.2kg loss even when I cheated????? I'l probably see the cheat in a few days time on the scales, even when I've been good!

Weight this morning is 89.4kg.
Total weightloss for Attack Phase 2.4kg

Happy enough with that weightloss although it should have been 2.7kg.

Measurements:
Hips: loss of 2cm
Waist: loss of 5cm
Under B: loss of 2cm
Boobs: +1cm? (weird)

Today I start Cruise Phase.... I am excited to eat some salad

Well done Viv!
