Hi everyone i did the Dukan diet just over a year ago and lost about 2 stone on it. Well with the holiday season almost upon us i am keen to lost atleast another stone by the end of July if poss. Fingers crossed i am as successful as i was last year :D. xx

what do you mean my responses last year? and who exactly made you the Dukan police? so you have never ever cheated on a diet?? And anyway this is a public forum so i am entitled to post what i like and if you dont want to read my posts then dont!!

Alotolose I don't need a lecture thank you. This was a total one off and I have had a stressful week. I did feel very guilty but I have drawn a line under it and am cracking on with the diet.

with me i always see it the day after. ate a mcdonalds saturday night and next day stayed the same and didnt have a gain at all. i dont make a habit of cheating by the way! i am usually very very good.

Don't cheat on this diet kids! And if you do don't tell anyone or the dukan police will be onto you!

After being on the Dukan diet for 5 weeks and 1 day I have now lost just over 10% of my body weight! Very happy!

Now lost 17lb in 5 weeks and even had a very naughty McDonalds too oops x

Ate a tesco cooked chicken yesterday but they only had BBQ ones and have now gained half a pound after eating it! I know it's probably because it was too greasy. Note to self cook your own chicken! :-(

Hiya Vicky I have been doing 1/1 on cruise. really wanted to get my 2lb off this week!! have got an excercise bike the other day so have been doing a couple of miles on that for the last two days. thought it might be because i have been abit 'bunged up' but i am not now! x

according to the book it says if you have stagnated then to do attack for a few days. i think i am not eating enough too. just out of interest how big are everyones portion sizes? i.e if you have steak how much would you have? Thanks

Please let there be a recipe for some sort of curry concoction thats suitable for Dukan!!!:eek:

ASDA Groceries Online - From our store to your door This is the one i brought

menu for today; B- Gallette cup of tea S- 2 Boiled eggs one without the yolk and 500ml water L- Peppered mackerel salad D- Not sure yet!!

Do you think i should not have it then? i have been so good this far that i dont want to ruin it!!

no i have dijon mustard. wholegrain has the bits in it. wasnt sure if all mustards were ok.

Is wholegrain mustard ok? thanks x

Hi Jo What ingredients should i look out for that would be banned? i have no idea. x

oooh yeah just saw a recipe for that. can you have lemon juice though? says to add a dash of olive oil too which you could leave out i guess? http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/tzatziki_13049

lol i am getting a bit bored with chicken and not a big fan of cottage cheese. although i am not sure which cottage cheese is allowed and i can only find a low fat one and not fat free.

well i like to try new things. i am a self confessed curry addict so am desparately trying to find a recipe for curry sauce or curry flavoured food!! i have to say i have struggled today thinking of what to eat though. xx

no hun the chicken fillets are in a hot and spicy marinade. not breadcrumbed or battered.

mackerel ingredients are mackerel 96% salt and peppercorns chicken fillets nutritional info is per 100g protein 20.3g carbs 4.4g of which sugars 1.3g fat 1.1g fibre 0.5g sodium 0.33g thanks x

Already cooked peppered smoked makeral fillets? and also asda hot and spicy chicken fillets frozen? thanks!!

Thanks Jo. I always piled my plate with salad but obviously dont want to over do the veg/salad and ruin my good work!! xx

Thanks I think i am a little nervous about eating veg in case i gain weight lol!! xx

Hi everyone Just completed my 7 day attack period and have lost 5.5 lbs which I am very pleased about. Starting cruise today 1/1 routine and was wondering how much veg is actually ok to eat? Thanks x

Wow! well done on such a huge loss!! thats brilliant! Tracey xx

Hi Joanne Today for breakfast i had cup of tea muller yoghurt gallete and 2 'fried eggs' on to with some water too. xx

how do you make oatbran bread???

Sorry forgot to add that i was gonna have a galette with my dinner too. i did eat basically a whole chicken at lunchtime. dont normally only have a yoghurt for brekkie. will try harder tomorrow to have a more substantial breakfast. any ideas for breakfast?? x

Hi Joanne today i have had as follows B- Muller light yoghurt and cup of tea L- Chicken washed down with water D- Steak salmon and prawns more water

have been drinking about a litre of water plus tea as well. getting quite fed up of chicken now. anyone got any good things to do with steak?

SO EXHAUSTED!!!!:sigh: i am on day 4 of Attack and i feel so tired. but on the plus side according to the scales i have lost nearly 5lb! woo hoo:D

Hi peeps Just a quickie. Are rotisserie chicken allowed on Attack? I am talking just the meat and not the skin of course. Thanks!:)

Made my first galettes tonight and they were very successful! OH had the first experimental one which was ok. but the second one which was mine of course was spot on! tasted like an omlette. had it with peppered steak and chicken breast. x

got it from a local butchers already prepacked. my oatbran has just arrived too!!

thats cheap! although i dont think i could eat the mussels. I am having peppered rump steak for dinner but it was already coated in the pepper stuff. do you think that would be ok to eat?

oooh yeah i have some tuna in. I have some frozen cod and salmon as well so i could just shove that in the oven and have a couple of crab sticks with it. is there a limit on crab sticks? had one before and it was nice to nibble on! bit like a fishy cheese string lol x
