    Thinking of joining a class... Help!

    Your comment has just made me make up my mind to go - I tried to rejoin my local group last night and no consultant pitched up and none of the regulars knew why - so a whole group of people out in the cold for half an hour. I was so annoyed that I decided I would try to do it from home alone...

After a couple of months I was really missing my cheese and only then did a group member mention the two HEX As on Green days so I read it up and now do 4 days green and 3 days EE a week. I think that with new members EE could be explained the first...

    Lunch times

    Cottage cheese with tuna / salmon mixed into it. I sometimes make extra spicy mince and then warm it up for lunch (chopped onion, chilli and turkey or beef mince) and finish it off with a dollop of creme fraiche (all non / low fat).
  14. D

    Attack Should I start the cruise phase?

    You can also use the yogurt or fat free creme fraiche to make your protein more moist on PP days - a bit of finely chopped onion, curry powder & yoghurt added to chicken is nice for a change (add the yoghurt last so it doesn't split).

    Cruise PP I made icecream, I made icecream!!!!!!!!

    Mine said to freeze bowl for 8 hrs (so I did) -the bowl was solid when I took it out - I still managed to eat my pink ice block (zapped it in the microwave for 30 sec then blended it with the hand blender) and it was very nice. Will have another go one night this week. What flavour did you make?

    Cruise PP I made icecream, I made icecream!!!!!!!!

    Got my ice cream maker yesterday - obviously did something wrong as mine was very runny and now having frozen overnight is like a lump of pink ice (used rhubarb)! Will try another batch using bought yoghurt and see if it is better (used homemade yoghurt).

    Know how you feel - I've just given up smoking and am really battling with the diet. I find if I get on the scale every day it helps - if I'm up one day I tend to cut down for a day - I may then not have a perfect day but it gets me through a week of "maintaining my weight (at least I don't put...

    I generally plan my PV days for when I have something on. When out I generally go for Steak, chicken or fish with veg / chicken salad (no dressing) - if out for breakfast I order poached eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms.

    Attack Omg! When

    Headaches normally happen for the first 3 days of a diet (I believe the 3rd day is normally the worst). Hopefully they will ease tomorrow. Try to hang in with the diet because it really does work. You could also try eating your protein every couple of hours. Good luck.

    Attack Question help please?

    So expensive!!

    Attack Yoghurt dilemma for newbie

    Where can i get Asian Noodles

    You are SO right! I bought 10 packets (to save on delivery charge) and the only way I can eat them is to chop them up small and add (hide) them in my spicy mince - tried to give them to OH and he said he'd rather starve than eat them again:8855:

    Don't have time for Dukan anymore :(

    The key to this diet is to be organised. In just over an hour I bake 12 muffins, 12 mini quiches for freezing and cook enough chicken strips for a couple of days. Lunches tend to be chopped ham or tuna with cottage cheese (no time needed there). For PV days casseroles can be bunged in the oven...

    This diet CAN work!!

    I really surprised myself today. I was on a training course and lunch was provided (sandwiches only!!). Normally I would scoff them and justify it by the fact there was nothing else to eat. TODAY I went to my car ate a DD muffin and went back and took the beef and sliced egg out of the...

    Feel amazing this morning!!

    It's great that you have such a positive attitude and see this as a way of life now - because we need to take what we learn from this diet and incorporate into a way a life so we never get back to where we were weight wise. Keep up the good work:)

    Sounds lovely (and easy to make).

    What made you choose this diet?

    Liked the idea of no weighing / counting points or calories PLUS being able to eat until full sounded good. What is particularly great about it is that I can still have a social life and eat out (did Cambridge a couple of years ago and really felt left out socially!!)

    What do you eat on the go???

    I've been having them in my porridge in the mornings (makes me feel like I'm having fruit). I've never eaten them on their own as a fruit. My favourite is to soak them in blueberry flavouring and hot water, drain them and then add to my muffins mix with some blueberry flavouring.

    Bad day but there is an up side!

    Not an expert ... but I can't see why this would be unhealthy - on pp days you can have goji berries and on PV days we have veg - so we are getting the nutrition ..... it's certainly healthier than having takeaways a couple of nights a week!

    @ Maintainer - I'm pretty sure it's a realistic target plus it's a "swingy" (spl) type dress (I don't do tight fitting or figure hugging). Must admit I find clothes that were tight on me previously at my current weight seem to be a bit looser - wish I had measured myself before I started.

    Thank you everyone for these wonderful recipes. Before I started Dukan I thought I was sentencing myself to months (and months etc) of grilled protein and boiled veg. I've tried quite a few recipes and I'm LOVING my meals - I don't even look at hubby's meal and wish I was having it instead...
