Hey Bridesmaid, I found the info here: http://thedukandietsite.com/ I just googled it though, its how I find most information really. :D

I haven't bought any yet, on a bit if a budget at the moment, but I'll be looking to buy some in the future, shall keep you posted.

Yeah, it's literally just milk protein, no medications in it. They use it for helping people to heal after serious injuries, I guess because of the protein content.

Asda and morrisons own brand cream soda is Dukan safe that I know of. I haven't looked at the tesco one yet to be honnest. I've just updated my list also, with some new finds at a big tesco I went to recently, including a Dukan safe lemonade!

I just want the powder to use in recipes to replace the oat bran basically. I've read elsewhere that Dr D is ok with them used like that, I've had experience in the past with using the shakes as meal replacements and thats not my intention for the unflavoured stuff for now. I want to be able to...

Do any of you use any protein powders at all? I know we can, and I think it'll help for some recipes to replace the oatbran, but I'm not sure what nutritional info it should have. Anyone know?

I too would definitely suggest buying the book at least, I haven't bothered with the membership for the website, far too much money to spend on top of the cost of the food you need to buy anyway. I've got a few of the Dukan books to guide me, and anything I'm not sure about I ask here. It...

I tried this recipe and I'm not sure what happened.. But, I reduced the stock down, and while it was on the heat still it looked a lovely consistency, looked and smelled delicious. However when I tasted it, it was way too overpowering, and not very nice at all. While I was figuring out what I...

Lidl have a cream cheese you can use, 0.2% fat, it's their Linessa range.

Wrigleys Extra Dessert Delights

I've just had a glass of the ginger beer and it's delicious!

Ok, thanks for the input guys, its much appreciated. I think we're going to stick with a 5/5 :)

I've just remembered that I've not been putting my food diary in here, doh!

Hope you enjoy Sididd! Thanks for the reply Maintainer :)

Agave nectar is a no-no for the Dukan diet sadly. I found this list the other day while I was looking to see what were ok and what wasn't: Sugar Substitutes and Sweeteners Allowed on the Dukan Diet Aspartame Erythritol Lohan Maltitol Saccharin Stevia Sucralose Xylitol Brands of Sugar...

Yeah I should have said liquid lol. I have introduced myself to some SF drinks the last couple of days and its been so nice! Feels naughty xD

You're probably safest just to pop into your doctors and make sure everything is all good. If you're not drinking enough, then of course that could be the cause.

Hey Scooter, on the Dukan diet you're only in ketosis during the first two phases :) so attack and cruise, for consolidation and stabilisation you're no longer in ketosis. As soon as you start eating carbs and sugars again, your metabolism goes back to normal. Your body is in ketosis when you...

So for the fizzy drinks addicts out there, I hope this thread helps. I've been surprised at the variety of flavours I've managed to find that are sugar free and have 1 calorie or less per 250ml, which is I believe the common rule. I'll share my findings with you, with prices where I've...

You know, as my first week has gone on, I've found it easier to wake up and get up. Which for me and my partner has been a great kick up the bum! I've always had issues with having to get up in the night to wee, and I'd just settled into a routine of remembering to stop drinking a few hours...

You should give the Extra Mint Choc Chip a go dukannotsofatty, it's to die for, and it's just gum!

From my own experience with jello, which isn't much, I've only had a couple flavours, but the flavour is stronger and theres a little more variety... Well, American flavours at least, like grape! Which is scrummy, but not Dukan friendly sadly.

I have no real problem with the PP days, it's gotten easier since starting and playing around with what flavours you can add where to make things tasty. I started last Friday, and did 7 days of Attack. Today was my first PV day, and I had a mini minced beef quiche with some salad, which tasted...

I think we're going to do the 1PV 1PP rotation. We were thinking about doing that for 3 weeks of the month, and then do a week of PP, would you recommend that?

I've managed to find that amazon sell the gum, just search for 'extra sugar free' :)

I start cruise tomorrow, and I'm so excited about making bread and cakes! I'll be adding this to my list to try, I don't have a microwave though, so ill have to have a trip to the parents :D

I've never been stuck doing so much washing up! We're forever in the kitchen playing around with recipes and cooking experiments, it's great fun.

Today is my last day on the Attack phase, I'm quite excited to start adding in some veggies to my food :D I just wanted to check what kind of pattern others have used for their PP and PV days? I was thinking of doing 5PV 5PP, is that better than alternating the days to 1PV 1PP? Any suggestions...

The custard is so delicious! It's not supposed to set though, it's supposed to be the water, and the meringues the islands floating along :D i can't exactly remember how long we poached the egg whites for.. But we did flip them to make sure the tops cooked. They're supposed to be set all the way...

Fomage frais you'll find in all the super markets, sainsburys sell 500g pots for £1, it's their Be Good range. When it comes to amounts of things, mostly you can have however much you like, the more the better with regards to proteins. I usually have 4-6 egg whites scrambled, sometimes ill...

Awesome, thank you. I was starting to worry that you couldn't drink more than 2 litres!

So, I know we're supposed to drink between 1.5 and 2 litres of water a day, but are we aloud to drink more? I'm just finishing off my second litre now, but I'm still very thirsty today. :eatdrink017:

Thanks for pointing that out, Eternal. It's made me pick carefully :)

Day 5 Attack: 1: 6 scrambled egg whites with 4 slices of bresaola 2: Oat bran with fromage frais, 3 seafood sticks 3: 2 soy and ginger turkey breast steaks 4: Mustard-quark chicken breast Drinks: 1.5 water

Thanks for the tips Maintainer, and yes, we're usually up gone 1am still. We were up at 10am today though, so hopefully that'll help with resetting the body clock! :) With the ice cream, just make sure you take it out of the freezer a little bit before you want it, as I found out lastnight, it...

In saying that, I can't private message anyone yet, not until I get to 50 posts >.<

Sure thing msajuma, I'll send you a message now :)

Ultimately if you're losing a lot of weight, you're going to have the extra skin. You can help this by using coco butter body creams/oils and toning your body at the gym with weights.

The life of the unemployed.. It's a rut, with us both being unemployed it somehow seems easier to stay in bed.

They do indeed sound too good to be true, which is why I wanted to run it past a few people here first, before buying any! I have my eye on a few though :D

Has anyone tried any of the Walden Farms products? Or know if they're good to use for the Dukan Diet? They're all sugar free, carb free, calorie free, fat free and gluten free. You can find a huge range of their products on Amazon, and they just look and sound delicious!

Oh wow, I was eating a roast chicken lastnight, and wanted something to be dipping it in other than the usual Dukan sauces. I kept the bones so I'll be making this for sure! Yum!

I love the Spite Zero ice lollies idea. I was thinking of doing something similar with some herbal teas and sweetener.

You won't be able to get jello from a shop here, unless you were to find one that stocked American products. There are a few around, it might just take a little research to find one. Usually I buy online for things like that. :) Your question got me looking, and I've found some SF chewing gums...

With regards to the ice cream, just use the custard recipe for the Floating Islands (I've put this into the recipes section if you don't have the book), and then freeze it! It's really delicious, tastes just like the Haagen Dazs vanilla ice cream. The rising early didn't quite happen today...

Is the BBQ sauce ok for the attack phase? I only ask because of the tomato element in it?

This sounds delicious!

My partner has a conditional job offer, should start mid April, sadly I'm still looking. We were both made redundant too, April last year. We were living out of the country at the time, so came back home to live near family again. There is an alarm set for tomorrow morning, and I will be getting...

Thanks a lot, it's good to know I'm eating enough. Still need to get used to being able to eat when I want to, if you know what I mean...

Day 4 on Attack: 1: crust free chicken quiche (yum!) 2: Oat bran with fromage frais and sweetener 3: 4 scrambled egg whites, SF jelly pot 4: half a roast chicken, small bowl ice cream (I'm loving I can eat this) Drinks: 2 mugs of black tea with sweetener 1.5 litres water

I just took the custard off the stove to cool before putting it into the ice cream machine, while I wait for my chicken to cook in the oven I thought I'd have a SF jelly pot. I may have spooned a little of the custard on top. I'm loving this diet! :D

On a side note, I shall be making more of the custard today and putting it into the ice cream machine, possibly with some dark chocolate flavour added!

This recipe is from the book, but, in case you don't have the book here it is (apologies if this has been posted before): Ingredients: Makes 4 servings 500ml skimmed milk 1/2 vanilla pod (I used a whole pod) 4 eggs, separated 4 tablespoons splenda Put the milk in a pan, split the vanilla pod...

Of course! It's from the book though if you have it. If not I'll just jot it down in the recipes thread now :)

I love your roast onion suggestion Prosecco!

I didn't think to start here on my first day, so I'll start with yesterday which was day 3 on attack: 1: 2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites, 1 packet of sliced bresaola. 2: Couple slices of home roasted lean beef with Dukan mustard sauce 3: Home roasted chicken breast pieces (just under a breasts...

I think I also have a bad habit at the moment, I'm currently unemployed along with my partner, so we stay up late and stay in bed too long. It's a rut that we're in at the moment that we're going to start trying to fix this week. But I worry that we're not eating soon enough? Certainly not...

Try the floating islands for sure, it was really tasty. We even made a fake caramel sauce for it using some water, caramel flavour and agar-agar. It was really bitter and nasty on its own, but with the custard worked a treat. I'll certainly start a diary, once I've hit my 50 posts ^^

Today was much better, thank you! I had a 2kg weight loss which obviously helped. The hunger is mostly under control, and now im just trying to work out whats an actual hunger pang, and not just my stomach gurgling! I'm mostly eating my oatbran toasted with some fromage frais and sweetener, it's...

I live in Port Talbot :)

Hey guys, I'm on day two of Attack and I've been really hungry. Yesterday was obviously the first day, and I was hungry most of the day, despite eating. Today wasn't as bad, I ate more for my first meal (two chicken breasts and four egg whites!) that kept me going for a long time. I just want...

Just dropping in a thread to say hello ^^ I'm new to the forums and new to the Dukan diet (today is day two on Attack). I've been out of the UK for about 7 years, and moved back home to South Wales last year. I've tried 101 diets over the years, some have worked and some have failed miserably...
