Official weekly weigh in.

[Maintainer]

Absolutely... so the "rules" for next week are:

- eat more pure protein (particularly chicken, steak, lean mincemeat, liver, fish, salmon, prawns, etc.);
- walk at least 20-30 mins fast per day;
- drink at least 2-3L water per day;
- err... smile lots;
- any clothes becoming baggy get taken out of wardrobe, folded up, and put away... NEVER again to be worn, hihi!!

any other team rules ladies?

 

[cherl889]

do you think i'll be ok with 1/1? I cant think of anymore rules hun think you have them covered.

 

[Maintainer]

Alternating 1 PP / 1 PV is good as you don't get bored (or too constipated!)... but remember that on PV days, you still need a decent amount of protein... and not just a pile of salad... I aim for 66% P and 33% V as I was once told. Not always possible, granted, but as a general rule over the day...

I do recommend meal planning in advance also - helps ensure you've got the right stuff in...

cos grabbing something on the hop that's OK Dukan isn't easy... but of course you guys are used to that with Atkins I s'pose.

 

[cherl889]

Yes i guess so. I think i will probably do 1/1 like you said i wont get bored and to be fair i became sick of too many veggies on the atkins but do like a few mushrooms/onions or salad with things

 

[Maintainer]

and beetroot and carrot are once a day only... I forget now if it's once each, but I'd stick to once a day one or the other...

 

[cherl889]

Dont suppose you know how much beetroot? I love the stuff but they come in different sizes

 

[Maintainer]

He doesn't go in for detailing quantities... I'd say "normal" portion within a salad... I tend to have a few slices on the side of my salad (I grow my own... she says confidently having planted them just two weeks ago!)...

They're sugary... alas... love them!

 

[cherl889]

Well i tried to have a veg and herb garden until my darling pupppies dug it all up and had a lovely dinner!

My weekly weigh in isn't good... +100g... I was expecting it though. I slipped up on a couple of things. Last weekend, on PL, I really piled up my plates with salad and veg and came out of the weekend +800g. Since then, I've "lost" most of it with the PP days but STUPIDLY (thanks Vicky!!) drank lemon juice and water each morning which isn't allowed of course... Also I didn't walk two days with the rain, and drank loads of water yesterday in the heat! (excuses excuses)

So things to correct - lemon juice is history as a drink; tea plate size meals on PL this weekend; ensure I get a walk in both days of the weekend; and I'm also aware that I'm eating too much at lunchtime. I used to be "afraid" of being hungry and not finding anything Dukan friendly around the office to eat... but now I should relax, and bring less to work, as I eat it all anyway!

So there...
