Thank you! I had steaks, chicken, lots of natural yoghurt etc etc. It was a tad samey, but you just have to make the effort to spice up the food. If you are on MyFitnessPal, then if you click underneath my name on the left, I think there is an icon that takes you to my page. My food diary is...

Hello, I am also a Dukan newbie. I am just starting my third week and have lost 17lb so far, so I am over the moon. I have a long way to go but I am used to doing Cambridge type diets, so I am pleased to be losing so much and able to eat! Good luck on your weight loss! Jess

'Every cloud' and all that!

DYJHIW people say pacific instead of specific!

DYJHIW you work your a**e off dieting all week and put on 1.5lbs?! WTF?! Dieting is hard :cry:

Gammon, cabbage and boiled potatoes with gracy last night at my Mums. It was luuuush....and surprisingly low calorie!

Mine too. Don't get to eat them much at home as my partner hates them. :cry:

Mmmm mushrooms! :drool:

Lol i love this thread and you lot are hilarious! Makes me really wish I was doing Slimming World, but not any good ones in my area. I don't have anything to rant about today, just wanted to share the love for you all!

I really hope that Kevin doesn't win. I want to see the look on his face when he gets booted out. Smug g*t! Gerard did look really good but they dressed the rest of them up really badly! They made most of the women look about 2 stone heavier I thought!

OMG I love these! Thanks for that!

It seems to be Indian Monday! I had turkey tikka masala (home made) with cous cous instead of rice. Sounds a bit weird, but I promise it was nice! Has them with tesco prawn crackers which were surpringing low calorie wise.

Totally agree with all of you. Can't stand Kevin. Its really bad that someone with that much to lose is being so nasty. He, of all people, should understand that they are all there to lose weight, not to play stupid games! Hope he goes next!

I managed to have a Chinese on Saturday night and still stay within my calories. Well chuffed!

Vegetable soup - yawn!

Tesco porridge oats with skimmed milk. It felt weird being stuffed at 8.30am in the morning, as I usually only have a banana for breakfast!

Well done!

Does anyone else experience people apologising for eating in front of you? I know they are only being nice but it is soooo annoying. I have also has people saying they feel guilty for eating in front of me! :mad: I just give the same reply 'Don't worry about it. I am going to be doing this for a...

Here is the list of all the allowed foods: KETOGENIC FOODS Here's a partial list of just some of the foods that can be consumed on a ketogenic diet. I'll start with the '100% safe foods', the ones that shouldn't throw you out of ketosis due to having either no carbs, or trace amounts of...

Wow I didn't realise full fat mayo would have less carbs than the lighter one! Thanks for the info!

The only things that disturbs my sleep is dreaming about eating all the time! I wake up in a panic! Its a nice feeling, knowing it wasn't real though. Does anyone else get this?

Anyone????

They are called Asda 'measure up' meal replacement bars. As far as I know, they only have 2 flavours, chocolate and toffee and strawberry and yogurt.

Does anyone know which salad dressings are allowed on AAM week? Or can anyone point me in the direction of a thread that lists the one's we can have? Thanks!

My family decided to grab a McDonalds breakfast last weekend, while I sat there with my banana shake. B***ards!

Well done! You've done really well!

Well done and congratulations on completing your mini goals!

Well done!

Well done, that is a fantastic loss!

I don't think everyone does it. I did Cambridge before this and the AAM week on there is 12 weeks, so thats what I am doing with this. Personally, I think adding a meal every 4 weeks is too much so I would rather wait. Thats just me though!

Does anyone know what the reason we can't have Smints is? I have just looked at the packaging and there is no citric acid?

Good luck. Well done for starting again!

Well done! Thats a brilliant loss!

Welcome! Good luck on your first week!

I have been on it for just over 2 weeks now and still cannot stand either of the bars. It gives me goosebumps trying to get them down! When I am done with this months, I am going to just order shakes and soups and buy the meal replacement bars from Tesco's or Asda. Cannot wait!

I am terrified after watching this last night! I'v got about 12 stone to lose so i'll be looking like an empty bag of potatoes!:sign0137:

Well done! Brilliant loss!:talk017:

Here is the link to a thread with a list of most of the ketonic foods. http://www.minimins.com/exante/189296-exante-faqs.html Its the third comment down.

Good luck cupcake!

I have been suffering a bit with being 'clogged up' so maybe that was a reason for the stomach cramps and the little weight loss. I measured myself when I started and I am trying to do it every month. So it may be that I have lost inches rather than pounds.

Because no-one could stomach more than 1 a day! :sign0137:

I am just starting my 3rd week of TS. I felt really rough all day yesterday (headaches, stomach cramps etc) so I had to have some salad and chicken last night, which made me feels heaps better. But this morning, I weighed and I have only lost 3lbs this week. I know it is still a good loss, as it...

I used to do CD and it was after 12 weeks that you had to AAM, so that's what I am doing this time. It falls around my partner's birthday too, so thats a bonus! Although saying that, I did have to have some salad and chicken last night as I felt really ill all day. It did make me feel much...

Never mind! Found it! Its here in case anyone wants it : http://www.minimins.com/exante/189296-exante-faqs.html

Brilliant post! Does anyone know where to find the post that has the list of foods to eat when maintaining? I found it yesterday but can't find it anywhere now!

Good luck for your first day!

Thanks guys! So glad I chose Exante! xxx

Thank you!!! xx

Hello everyone! I started the diet last Monday and had my 1st weigh in today. I have lost 10 and a half pounds! Wooooo :talk017: I have got a long way to go but I am absolutely chuffed with that. I also wanted to say thank you to everyone on here for your advice and information, because I was...

Thanks for the replies! OMG its today! I have to eat in about 6 hours! Booo. But i am getting weighed in 1st so hopefully that should take my mind off it. I don't think i'll be sticking to SS+ after the week otherwise i know i will spiral out of control. I will just have to shut up and get on...

Ok next week is the start of my 13th week CD and i have been 100% the whole way through. Tomorrow is the start of my AAM week and i am sh**ting myself to say the least! In the last couple of weeks i have been half excited about it and half dreading it...but now i'm just dreading it and wish i...

I totally know what you mean with the sleeping thing. I cant feel my hip bones when i stand up, but when i lay down it take me ages to position myself so i'm comfy! Its mental coz i'm still a fat lard! lol. I found my shoulder/collar bones about a week ago aswell. I missed those! I keep feeling...

Have lost 3 stone 9lbs now and i am amazed at how many new bones i am finding! I didn't think that i would be able to see/feel bones this early on because i still weigh 18 stone 5lb and still have 8 stone to lose. I am chuffed though! Hopefully i wont be looking like Victoria Beckham any time...

That is absolutely ridiculous. It is amazing the amount of TV programs now about gastric band/bypasses? I always just think 'Do CD or LL! I know its not the diet for everyone but it must be easier than having surgery! Did anyone see that programme the other day about fat teens. There was a 20+...

Well done! Thats fantastic! Keep up the good work!

Good luck for tomorrow! Let me know how you get on. My weigh in is usually on Monday's too but i'm going to see Beyonce tomorrow (wohoo!) so can't get weighed in until Wednesday. I know which park you mean, it does look nice but unfortunatly is full of tramps and chavs most of the time...

lol funniest thread i'v seen for a while. I used to work in a supermarket and saw a few weird trolleys but that cat litter sandwich thing was hilarious!

Thanks. I think i am more worried about not wanting to stop eating after my AAM week rather than how much i lose. I'll just have to be hard on myself. I have to say i haven't felt hungry many times since i started which has been really helpful. I think its because i love being on packs (weirdly)...

Thanks, no i haven't had so much as a nibble in 10 weeks! I actually my add a meal week starting on 15th so i'm really nervous about having to eat something again! Hopefully i should be ok though! But good luck and if i can do it, anyone can!

Well done for making it through the 1st day! Thats half the battle. You'll be feeling fab in no time. And yes you can take paracetamol.

Well done for making it through the first 5 days! Am i guessing your having your first weigh in a couple of days. That will make a massive difference, trust me. Every time you feel like you want to eat something, just imagine yourself losing all your weight and how fabulous you will feel. Its...

Sorry that last part was 'You could also try and do something to stop yourself felling hungry, like pampering youself'

Really sorry to hear that sweetie. Try to stick at it though. It will be worth it at your next weigh in and you will stop feeling hungry in no time. Have you tried to have Coke Zero? I found at the beginning it can make you feel full and makes a nice change if you are felling deprived. You could...

Welcome both of you and good luck!

I have the original porridge every day and i have to say i am getting mega bored with it now! I tried the AC porridge first and thought it was gross. I think if you try the normal porridge you might like it.

Just wanted to say that is truly awful what she did and you should definitly find another CDC. I actually had to change CDC's myself because my first one was terrible. Not as bad as yours by the sounds of it but she actually used to ask me every week 'Have you cheated yet?!', which was always...

Hiya I just was wondering if i could get some advice from some people that have finished CD and lost a lot of weight. I have 12 stone to lose (well 8 and a half now) and i am worried about getting really bad saggy skin. I did LL about 2 years ago and lost 7 and a half stone and the skin was...

Thanks everyone for your replies! I took my mum to her WW class last night and felt really good about myself, which i never did when i was actually going to that class. Although it was weird having to listen to the WW woman slagging off diets like Cambridge but ill just prove her wrong when i...

Hi dillydee First of all well done on your weight loss! Thats fab! I did LL about 2 years ago (am now on Cambridge) and i did suffer the hair loss throught. Once i started eating again (or should i say over-eating!) it pretty much went back to normal. The reason for the hair loss on VLCD's is...

I just kept telling myself that people might think it was rude to say it, like if they said anything we're suddenly going to pipe up and say something like 'ARE YOU CALLING ME FAT?!' lol Hopefully they don't feel like that though! Well done to you aswell! 2 stone is great! It wont be long...

Yeh i know what you mean. I'v lost nearly 3 and a half stone but i still have another 9 to go before i get to goal! Which is probably why it has taken so long.

Good luck to you all! Trust me, it is well worth it!

Thanks everyone! I guess ill just have to put up with the compliments to come! ;) I have to take my mum to her WW class tonight, which i am quite excited about because i was going to the same class before i started packs. I did want to wait until i got to goal before i went in there to show off...

I have been on Cambridge for 10 weeks now and lost just under 3 and a half stone. The only compliments i have been getting are from people who know i am doing the diet. I know that even these compliments should be good and i do notice myself that i do look different, but i have been waiting for...

Yeh i am nervous about gaining weight too. But its also because i did LL about 2 years ago and didn't have to have food at all. So i went without food for about 7 months and then when i ate again i went mental and ate everything in sight! (before i got to my goal weight) So just a bit worried...

Hi everyone This is my first post but have been on Cambridge for 10 weeks now and have lost 3 stone 5lbs. I've been reading everyone's post just for the advise and encouragement and its been a massive help! But i'm due to start my AAM week (see, i've got the minimins lingo down and...
