when i started the diet the prospect of getting where i wanted to be in a few months made me really inspired and hopeful so i didnt have the low feeling, but i did suffer from fatigue, i found drinking a minimum of 2 litres a day made a difference to my fatigue levels.

the most important thing with any diet is to be healthy, if dukan is preventing ure recovery and keeping u ill and unhealthy then i'd say give your body what it wants and needs until your better and back to healthy:) your broken ribs and pleurisy sounds absouletly horrid, i really hope it all...

eat more - thats music too my ears - will do :) also, i know on dukan pork is not allowed, but on a student budget, in asda i can buy 10-12 pork steaks for £4 so it makes dukan more affordable. I ensure that i cut off all fat before cooking and eating to make it healthier :) ... big smiles...

YUM! I would highly reccomend one and all to try a modified version of jamie olivers recipe: the burgers were delicous!! Juicy!! Bursting with flavour!! 250g Beef Mince: from this roughly roll 4 balls and flatten them (so they ressemble burgers) Then mix together in a separate bowl/plate: 1...

my cupboards are all stocked with protein goodies and incase i desperatly cant kick a chocolate or sweet craving I've invested in some diet coca-cola and options hot chocolate :)

im thinking of this recipe but replacing the lamb with extra lean beef mince and of course no pomegrante or oilve oil or bread :) moroccan-style lamb burgers | Jamie Oliver | Food | Jamie Oliver (UK)

Kelmo you are a fortune teller - my binge happend again .... i have no excuses except for a complete loss of control and taking my eye off the prize. I went to london for a night out on the weekend and i know the cocktails and hangover cures will bite back, but thats it - in my mind now its...

im sure we've had a full moon this week as its seems a lot of us girls have struggled with carbs and fallen off the band wagon?! lol but reading your posts kellmo makes me feel better about my binge and really encouraged me that we can both get back on track. Your strength makes me stronger :)...

the most important thing is your recognise ure mistake and have learnt from it :) and we all dig into the chocolates at one point - afterall we're human and we're women, lol. Sometimes we need a bit of a binge to make us realise how much we enjoy the dukan diet because it gives us a nice sense...

right, im dissapointed to say ive completly fell off the band wagon last week - hence the lack of posts as most days i ate something very naughty, but im refocused and ready for a week of success. Last week I had a fainting spell and so feeling weak I reached for a 'boost chocolate bar' to...

Keep it up :)

im feeling a bit concerned; today did my usual routine: oatbran, yogurt, sweetner, big mug of tea and by 12 oclock I had drank 1.5 bottles of water... I was in uni and participating in a class task (standing) and fainted. The last thing i remember is feeling lightheaded and the next thing I...

Hi all, firstly a big thanks to you all for such fab support :D todays gone well :) B: home made yogurt, oat bran and half a banana - i know im not allowed fruit yet, but had a long walk ahead and 3 hours of standing outside in the cold, so needed something more than oat bran to help me climb...

im going back to uni soon and really dont want to stray off the dukan diet, but as my other half has been my 'guardian angel' in the kitchen preventing me from producing charcoled tastless meals, ive decided to start a photo dukan dish diary- this should help me plan my meals and remember what...

im a dukan dieter newbie so wouldn't know too much about what contributes to a plateau, but its always worth giving it a try :) i know that 5PP : 5PV days is meant to be more effective at weightloss than the 1PP: 1PV, but the benefit of this pattern is its more maintainable, but if ure still...

Wow only 5 pounds to go, I am very jealous :) :) I'm under the understanding that - Dr Dukan does permit one diet fizzy drink every other day, however I find that drinking the fizzy drink makes other food and drink taste less good. I find its like going out for a meal, you order salad, your...

I would like to thank you all for such helpful and encouraging feedback. You've helped me gain perspective that putting the weight back on it a risk following any diet if you go back to bad habits and do not follow the diet reccomendations. It made me assess two of my friends, both who have...

I buy the 'Yeo Valley' 0% fat yogurt. Its quite expensive usually £1.50 per tub but on offer its 2 for £2.50. But i've read a few threads that say Asda's own 0% fat yogurt is just as nice and half the price. I also know others make their own fat free yogurt, but im still hunting for a good...

More and more I think that the dukan diet is a excellent education. I've learnt so much so far about salt, fat, carb and sugar quantities - I especially like the food traffic light labelling :)

It's the general guide :/ Im concerned that due to my usual habits I'd end up eating too much veg on a PV day and therefore slowly increasing my portion sizes which might end up affecting the long term outcome and efficiency of the diet for me. I'm under the understanding that certain veg is...

As we all know the dukan diet is to help us loose weight but also develop a healthy lifestyle. To make sure I don't overdose on veg on my PV days. I've found this tool: http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/5ADAY/Documents/Downloads/5ADAY_portion_guide.pdf This booklet in black and white states...

Thank you thank you both cheese girl and zoesastar I agree with you both it's not about a diet it's about progressing towards and maintaining a healthy lifestyle choice which involves making the right decisions. With your realistic but encouraging responses uve put my worries to rest :) I...

my opinion is that I have full faith in this diet :) not only due to the motivational weight loss but due to its benefits on changing my taste buds to appreciate the more 'natrual' foods e.g. yogurt rather than chocolate, and the protein rich diet has reduced my appetite AND my food portions...

ive been a dukan dieter for one week now, and lost 8 pounds which I am most motivated by.....but on searching the net for more information i came across pages and pages of past dukaners who say they lost stones and stones in weight but after introducing carbs they pilled it back on. Natrually...

Today has definatly tested me, my mum has made some gorgeous looking lemon drizzle cakes and pilled the trolley with grapes, mangos and bananas all my favs, but I have resisted and had a yummy 0% fat yogurt and chicken stuffed with quark wrapped in bacon (with all fat cut off). Ooh I have the...
