I know how unreliable ketostix can be but the problem I have is that no matter how much I drink, they are always dark purple, nearly black. I have 3 shakes with 400ml each, 4 litres of plain water, 6 large instant coffees and 1 green tea. I can't possibly be dehydrated enough to be causing the...

I've been sticking with strawberry for breakfast, choc mint for lunch and banana for dinner. I've suddenly gone off the banana so having strawberry in the morning and the other 2 choc mint for the next while, it really is my favourite.

Well, I can keep my tea cupboard going then, I was worrying about my cinnamon and my ginger tea :)

Wow, really? I must've been away longer than I thought. Does this include things like raspberry tea etc?

Sorry if this is the wrong place but I've been away for a looong while! I'm about to restart SS on Monday and wonder about one type of tea. I know we can have herbal tea but not flowered tea - I have Lipton's Cinnamon Tea, ingredients are Black Teas, Nature-Identical Cinnamon Flavour &...

I lost 4lbs this week taking me to a total of 20lbs in 4 weeks :D

Thought I'd update with my 3 week loss - so far 16lbs :)

I've not been on the CD for absolutely ages, but after a break of around 4years in which I managed to regain the 5st I lost (totally my own fault for going back to old ways) I've finally gone back to SS. My weigh in is a Thursday and I've lost 11 lbs this week, very happy with it. I'm glad to...

I've had a few weeks where everything has gone to hell in a hand cart and today I'm getting myself in gear. I added a new app to my iPad to help me keep a tab on protein/cals/fat etc and have programmed in what my plan is for today. I thought I was organised but it's come out with the following...

Thanks Martin - will try the choc next time maybe :)

This has just gone into the oven now, looking forward to it! Wasn't sure how much squash to put in so bought a 500g one. How many servings would you say this makes?

Thanks for the advice :) I'll get some salad and broccoli to go with it.

Hmmm, I'm not very good at this :cry:lol. There is a full onion in the chicken curry, will add some cauliflower too and some green beans. How much veg do we have to eat on a PV day? Thanks :)

Today - PV B - Yogurt with cinnamon, 1tbsp oatbran and sweetener. S - 3 crab sticks L - Grilled tuna slices (pre-packed in water) S - 2 eggs scrambled with 5 cherry tomatoes D - 1 chicken breast as Dukan curry with 1tbsp of oatbran to thicken up the sauce. S - Sugar free jelly with sweetened...

I'm either indoors with the AC (the office is FREEZING!) or I'm outside and it's too hot - I'm never happy lol. Going to post today's plan on the menu board and see if it's any better. I bought some biltong yesterday and it's darned expensive here too - won't be doing that again!

It's so hot over just now (Middle East) that the water is easy - I used to do LL and Cambridge so since then I've always been a big water drinker. I'm going to the supermarket after work and will visit the butcher counter and see if I can get some lean cuts of beef/mince etc. I was also...

I'm now starting my 4th week (3rd on cruise) and I'm struggling to eat as I am just not hungry. Yesterday I managed to have 1 boiled egg 1 yogurt with cinnamon and oatbran Couple of bits of leftover chicken 1 chicken breast as dukan curry I had about 4 litres of water and a few coffees oh...

Saturday B 2 eggs scrambled with a splash of skimmed milk and black pepper S some sugar- free jelly and a boiled egg L yogurt (ff) with 1 tbsp oat bran, cinnamon and sweetener D 100g of Vietnamese Beef and a cinnamon oat bran(1 tbsp) muffin Lots of water, 1 diet pepsi

I think the restriction starts about 05:30 here and ends just after 18:30 so I'll try and add more protein in at night, I am just not hungry at all so struggle a bit - oops. Today I am having B - Boiled egg and black coffee S - Cinnamon Oat Bran muffin (has 1 tbsp of oatbran) L - yogurt with...

Thanks Maintainer - I do think I need to up my protein, will get some plain tuna in water snack packs. I'm on cruise just now, haven't (yet) found the Vietnamese beef or Shirataki noodles causing any problems - fingers crossed! I live in the Middle East and as it's Ramadan just now it's very...

Thanks! It's only just started moving in the past few days. I had read about people getting 9lbs in just attack so I had thought I was going pretty slowly. The past few days have been 1lb a day - how I wish it could stay like that lol :)

Hi, I just noticed on the daily menu thread that we have more or less the same stats :) How long have you been following Dukan? I feel my loss is quite slow as I've only lost 8lbs in the last 2 weeks (a couple of blips the first week though). We're even aiming for the same BMI, 26.4 lol!

Today the plan is B - 1 boiled egg & black coffee L - 1 LF natural yogurt with 2tbsp of oatbran, sweetener and cinnamon S - 1 boiled egg & black coffee D - 1 serving of Vietnamese Shaking Beef with 100g of Shirataki noodles At least 3 litres of water and probably another few coffees. 30...

Saturday - PV Breakfast 180g natural yoghurt 2 tbsp oat bran 1/2 tbsp cinnamon 1 sachet sweet and slow sweetener 1 black coffee 1 litre water Snack 1 boiled egg Sprinkle of salt 1/2 litre water Lunch 3 eggs scrambled with splash of skimmed milk 10 small prawns 1 black coffee 1/2 litre water...

Thanks, that puts my mind at rest :) I never have more than 500g of dairy in a day as I don't use milk at all :) Hopefully things will start moving soon!

My weight hasn't really been budging so I've carefully looked at everything I've been eating and there is one thing I'm unsure of, the yogurt I've been using. I live in the middle east and this is the bestbone I've found, can anyone advise if it's ok or really bad. Flavour - Plain 170g 144 cals...

Day 3 for me and 4lbs off so far. TOTM is about to cause chaos though. I just can't get the gallete right, the texture and taste (savoury) has been awful - must try harder.

Day 3 Attack 1 pot of ff plain yogurt with a little sweetener and some almond flavouring. 4 crab sticks 100g of minced chicken breast shaped into burger with Dijon mustard. Covered in 1.5 tbs of oat bran, grilled. 1 pot ff plain yogurt with a little sweetener and some cinnamon. 4 crab sticks...

Thanks Maintainers :) Glad to hear I'm on plan! I live in the middle east but it was a New Zealand zero fat beef mince I got. I'm not adventurous enough to try the camel burgers etc here though lol.

Is this right for attack? I'm just starting Day 2 and just want to check that what I am planning seems right - I'll post yesterday's menu which is the same as today's apart from dinner (not sure yet what to have). Any pointers are really appreciated - when I told my husband what I had eaten...

We can be Dukan buddies then :) How did you find your first day?

Hi, Just want to say hello before I start asking all sorts of silly questions about the diet :p Have spent the last few weeks reading the book and getting to know what I am doing but I'm sure there are some things I don't quite get. This is day 2 for me and amd down 2lbs from yesterday :)...

I've not been on here in a long time and now returning to CD. I've added my BBM Pin if anyone wants to add me :)

Just got the new one - it's very like the Marigold one! A great change from the old weak/watery one - thumbs up!

I didn't like the old one (too...weak/watery?) I'll give the new one a bash :)

Has anyone tried the Savoury Vegetable drink mix since it was re-launched as Golden Vegetable? I didn't like the original and don't want to order the new one if it is just the same - any advice? Thanks :D
