Thought I would add to this even though it's an old thread. I am size 22, and currently at Alton Towers this minute! I have fit one every ride except 1 - the wickerman. I have small boobs and most of my weight in my stomach and hips, and it was the hips that stopped the bar closing. All other...

Hi, Where can I find the list of shops that sell them? Honestly cant find it on the net so must be being blind :)

SF jelly and braesola for snacking for me :)

I quite like Dukan miracle soup, but it affects me a lot, I dont need wheatbran that day, if you get my meaning ;)

Id use the diet coke BBQ sauce, but dont add the sweetener, put in a tablespoon of dijon mustard and some thyme instead :)

Have downloaded it, why not for free :) great find, havent read it but should be a laugh if its not great.

Hi, Ive ordered from the lowcarbmegastore (same website different name really) last night, ordered the noodles so will see how they go! The da Vinci syrups I know people on this forum use, so I assume they are definitely allowed as they are sugar and fat free :) The others I cant help with...

Hi Slimdreamer, Just wondering how you microwaved the noodles? Did you add water to a container with them in or just micro'd once rinsed?

Hi just checking that these are ok on PP or PV right? Thinking of ordering some but they seem a bit expensive..... Anyone cooked them, left them in the fridge overnight and reheated them in the microwave? Just wondering if they would be good for dinners as Im hiding the diet from my collegues...

How about next week we all do this challenge? Starting Monday 23rd January

Im game :)

Nice way to use the oatbran up :) Thanks

Thats just WOW! Its great to see someone with about the same weight I need to lose actually succeed!

as little salt as possible 2L water a day

ps I got that one from tesco

the tesco one seems to be the the one most go for, seems rather elusive though, Ive never been able to find it in any tescos near me :( Ive been using the Cadburys Bournville one as it seems to the the closest to the one on the dukan site as possible for me

I think on a cold you retain water like its you TOTM, so I wouldnt worry. If youve stuck to the diet I bet in the next couple off weeks till drop off suddenly.

ill admit I can eat a whole roast chicken (the ones precooked in tesco) to my self if im in the right mood! lol. More filled up on protein you are the less temptation for eating naughty things, so I say go for it!!

meal and pudding with one egg :) though my meringues have turned out terrible so far, lol.

I find that the recipe works better above with just using an egg yolk not the full egg, binds it together better. Thats the same with burgers too :) Usually I fry the egg white to have it with the meatloaf or burgers

Sounds fab :) Was wondering if I could have the recipe for the chicken curry? All the ones ive tried go really horrible, lol.

I wouldnt buy it from the dukan shop again unless they has an offer like they did a month or so back (buy one get 2 free!). Was quite expensive and looked the same as the whites one, but it is def different texture from the tesco oatbran. All 3 taste the same however :)

Hi Louschu, Do you make your pancakes in advance or do you make them fresh every morning? Would love to know as I dont have much time in the morning so to be able to make them the night before (or even better to freeze them) would be fantastic. A fried egg sandwich is an amazing idea though :)

how about a nice steak with pepper sauce (just pepper and peppercorns, a bit of stock, some thyme and a bit of cream cheese or yogurt mixed in at the last min :) or even milk if you let iit reduce a bit)? Always seems special when you have steak :)

I brought the official dukan oatbran for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and found it to be the same as the medium cut :)

BTW sorry about the late replys, am actually at work at the min, lol

Thankies :) Will have to see about getting in touch if so, never actually met a fellow dukaner before. Do you know anyone else in there area that doe dukan?

Is for a job in one of the labs at the Novartis pharmaceutical site :) Hope ill get it :)

Not yet, but have a job interview for a place in grimsby on the 6th January, so possibly then, lol

Anyone tried the Kaluha one? I love Tia Maria and Kaluha so this with diet coke may be the treat I need if its any good :)

Same here, I use the bournville one. Really nice mixed with milk and sweetner for a milkshake!

Its a more up to date version of the original book. Lots of nice glossy pics and meal plans. Im glad I got it, was cheapest at waterstones (amazingly) got it for £9! Easier to read than the original (though I think I just need a picture book to be happy :))

Also would love the choc sponge recipe :) Well done for getting back on the wagon :)

The new dukan book also says mince less than 10% fat is ok, but the lower the better i say :)

please keep us posted sounds interesting to try :)

As long as the squash says only one calorie per glass (made up with water of course :)) its ok

I know duck eggs have a lot more fat than hen and quail eggs, but I dont know if they are still allowed or not, sorry. I would give the yolks a miss until someone confirms as the whites should be fine anyway.

Second that, I have a tetrapak of silken tofu in my cupboard have no idea what to do with it!!

Dont worry about day to day weighings, concentrate on your "official weekly weigh in". Day 4 I had only lost 4 lbs, and you can see in my sig it dropped fast :) But have even more weight to loose than you!!

The vinegarette is really really nice btw :)

There is a recipe for dukan vinagrette in the book which has 5tbs of balsamic, so cant see why its a problem. He even raves about the benefits of vinegar in the book for the "rare sour taste"

Couldnt you make it a gala meal? That way its completely guilt free :)

I usually (if have to) get a steak and salad, or a chicken kebab and not eat the bread.

Sounds like this could be a good slow cooker recipe to me. What a good thing to take to work!

Everything gets me going! Seriously!! But one thing that does help is butternut squash roasted. Mix it with tinned salmon with salt and pepper (makes a hash type thing) and cook it still the squash is starting to caramelise. Vinegar on top works wonders. Should help you even if you dont...

ps the contraception still should be working, though check your doctor as I have the implant not the pill so may be different x but dont stop taking it when your on unless doctor says otherwise

This happens to me all the time :) I have the implant and used to NEVER have a TOTM, but since losing weight it happens. Its because you get more furtile the closer you get to the target weight, thus why doctors say to lose weight to try to get pregnant. The first few times it happens its...

I read that as you has 280 lbs to lose! lol. I was very overweight compared to some of people on this site, and its working for me :) Doesnt feel as much of a chore as other diets, and you can make alot of things similar to what you usually have, just more healthy! Like last night I made chicken...

If anything I think butternut squash can help (in limited amounts :) ) I have friends on dukan who have stalled for weeks, and had butternut squash which seems to start the weight loss again. I think it was so different to what they had been having before (as they also thought it was too good...

What I cant live without is sugar free jelly. Nice and sweet but just full of water! I make loads at the weekend to take work or snack on :) I weight more than you, but it seems that 1-2 lbs on cruise is about right. Just make sure you dont worry day to day about it (I can go up a few pounds...

I dont like the fact it says "daily OATS allowance"....

We have about the same to lose so dont worry about how much your eating! I ate loads (shameful to say sometimes get a cooked chicken from tescos and devour it myself if im really hungry! Better than a takaway :)) Eating lots will stop you craving goodies, and will drive off headaches and...

Hi Christell Any chance of having the merginue recipe you use?. My last attempt tasted like fluffy omelettes lol.

That much oil shouldnt affect you much really, dukans viniagarette (which is in the book and absolutely yummy!) has a teaspoon of oil so a drop shouldnt make much difference.

Well I've been following it exactly except for a slip up on Sunday which wasn't my fault (fainted while giving blood and they wouldn't let me leave until id ate 4 biscuits!!) I think what helped lots was my slow cooker dinners! I made a beef curry soup thing which I took for my dinners at work...

Have weighed myself this morning, at the same time of day, same clothing (well, naked, lol) on the same scales that have not been moved..... I cant have lost 16lbs in 7 days attack, right??? :eek: Doctor D said i'd lose 5.9! Am onto cruise tomorrow, makes me nervous that im going to...

Hi, I just noticed that smoked salmon trimming are only £1 in sainsburys. They are lovely baked with an egg like a quiche :)

I def agree with elida. when I lost weight last year one week I didnt loose and I was devastated. Nearly made me come of the diet. Put it on my calendar and realised, I've lost 10 pounds this month! No wonder I didnt loose any! So dont worry. Week by week is a good thng, but look back over a...

They both have peas in and one has potatoes, so i'd say no to them sadly. Does anyone know a ready-made soup we can have? For emergencies?

Hi, I was wondering if the flavourings are worth the price? Would love to have some to put in my coffee :)

Hi all, Previously was on Dukan a few months ago but only did the 5 attack days and a week of cruise due to a stomach problem I have and had to got he hospital. Have now restarted Dukan and feel horrible compared to the first time! Before I was absolutely fine, but this time I have...

I honestly think you can loose the 4 if you stick to the diet 100%. Avoid salty foods such as smoked fish, ham and bacon to avoid water weight. Leave out all tolerated items. Cut down on dairy. Keep your veggies as green as possible. You should have no problem, but you`ll have a great...

MY food bill also went down. Brought alot of the 3 packs of meat for a tenner from tesco etc, and froze it. Lasts ages!!!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had noticed any difference in thickness or taste when using skimmed or semi-skimmed milk. Planning on trying this in the next few days so wanted to know if its worth the extra little bit of fat in the semi-skimmed or to plump for the skimmed.

I make my own yogurt icecream, though I do it the old fashion way by just putting it in a tub in the freezer and stirring it once in a while. One tip though is when making ice-cream is to make it slightly sweeter than you actually want it. Freezing it in yogurt seems to dull it a bit sometimes...

Hi, A Teaspoon = 5ml = 5g A Dessertspoon = 10ml = 10g A Tablespoon = 15ml = 15g Hope this helps :)

Anyone tried making them with just oatbran? I dont really need the wheatbran if you get my meaning ;)

There is the sainsburys be good to yourself burger which is less than 5% fat if you cant make your own :) Its in the frozen section

Hi, I was wondering what brands of cocoa are ok, because the dukan website one is too expensive :) Have access to most of the normal shops in the uk i.e supermarkets and holland and barrett :)

I have a very easy dessert for you...frozen yogurt! If im in a rush I open a mullerlight yogurt (controversial, i know, lol), put a spoon it and plonk it in the freezer. Its a lovely creamy ice lolly that way :) An no need to clean any pots, just the spoon. You could buy proper moulds as...

Isnt the first sign of being an alcoholic giving up alcohol for a month or two too prove your not ;) lol. Thats what i was always told when i did :D

That also happens to me. Im half a stone heavier at night than in the morning!! so dont fret, just stick with the morning weigh in results as the rest is mainly water weight from food so ive heard.

Tesco have the 6 packs of muller light buy on get one free Also tesco have meat 3for £10, or 4 for £12. Sainsburys extra lean mince beef is in a 3 for £10 deal too

The amount of sweetness from 1tbsp of splenda is so much more than in 1tbsp of sugar, so less is used. Also the weight difference is massive, so 1kg of sugar only takes up as much space as 75g of splenda, and they last the same length off time. This means 1tbsp of sugar has 15g of sugar (58.65...

Thansk for all your suggestions x I decided I didnt bother if anyone noticed, and a week at work and no-one has! No im on the the cruise part makes it even easier - theres a salad bar at the canteen so fill up on boiled eggs and nice veggies on PV days

Hi, The mince shold be below 5% fat, which I can only find in sainsburys (the extra lean steak mince).

Hi, At Asda you can get a "seafood shaker" containing prawns, mussels, squid and surimi for only £2!!! Its cooked and the sauce comes seperate so you dont have to eat that (though i do think its mainly vinegar). Its lots (i mean lots) of seafood which you can add your own flavourings to and...

Hi, I was wondering if tomatoes are allowed on the cruise phase, as they are a fruit not a veg :)

Hi, Im having trouble finding things i can amke and take work without makin it obvious im on a diet. We only have a microwave and a fridge. Any ideas on good dinners for on-the-go?

I brought my boyfirend a kindle for xmas and its absolutly fantastic! Since the 25th dac he has only had to charge it twice, and he uses it a lot! Love the e-ink screen, so nice compared to some LCD/TFT ones on lappys. You can read PDFs on it as well. Never used the sony one so cant really...

I think your just unlucky, Put them on the side with a fruit bowl containing bananas, get them touching if possible. Bananas ripen any fruit :)

Welcome - My Body Gallery - What Real Women Look Like This website may be helpful to you, it just really shows that weight does not determin everything!! Myself, I want to be size 14 really. Wont get any smaller I dont think due to farmers girl genetics lol.

Welcome - My Body Gallery - What Real Women Look Like Use this website. It allows you to filter by height, weight , size, body shape etc. and everyone on there is so brave for posting!!!

Someone asked me my fave slow cooker recipe and here it is :) My favourite is a beef joint slow cooked. Just slice potatoes about 1cm thick and cover the base of the slow cooker. place the joint on this, then add mushrooms, onions (which I quarter to have big bits) and cherry tomatoes. Fill...

My favourite is a beef joint slow cooked. Just slice potatoes about 1cm thick and cover the base of the slow cooker. place the joint on this, then add mushrooms, onions (which I quater to have big bits) and cherry tomatoes. Fill with stock untill it covers the bottom 1cm of your meat, you dont...

Is soy sauce allowed in the attack/PP days? If so how much?

Thanks for all your suggestions x And lol to eclaires mishap with the fish pie. Thats the problem with some recepies, dont know its really messed up untill the end.

Arrived yesterday so listened to it last night. Not sure if its made that much difference eating wise, but got the best nights sleep last night I have in a long time!!! Will carry on using it, i hope it gives me the motivation I need!

nom nom like the cookie monster :)

Hi, Im planning on starting the Dukan diet next monday but want to sort out a meal plan for next week to get the food delivered. Have been reading the food diaries, which have been really helpful, but there is one thing missing for me. I really need some good sauce recipes for the attack...

Fruit is bad for you sugarwise. Its brilliant in fibre and vitamins, though I would suggest cutting it down. Vitamin C also helps fat absorption and energy creation as well so it may be affecting you that way.

Yes, but only tablet ones as pourable ones contain more carbs

If your thinking about going back on lipotrim id suggest the dukan diet instead of slim fast as all the protien would keep you in ketosis. SF is very full of sugar. but any diet is better than nothing.

Ive been watching the newest season, season 11, on the internet. Its so good though season 9 was the best so far. Wish the uk's BL was as good. Like how emotional they are as they dare to express what everyone is feeling . And bob and jillian are brilliant! If i ever won the lottery I would def...

As everyone else says, drink drink drink!!!! If you really need something have another shake, and if your really getting deperate have some small amounts of protein, like cooked chicken breast with no seasoning. But like I said, only as a last resort if your out and about! I dont want to...

So ive been told, from about size 16 downwards its about 10lbs a size :) Roughly works about that, but obv the bigger you are the more you need to lose to make a diff.

A few spoonfuls wont make a different, but too much would

Hi, Granular/spoonable sweeteners have a bit of sugar and other carbs added to allow them to be pourable, thus are hidden carbs which when taken in excess may knock you out of ketosis :) Hope this helps

Also they look better than carrying mouthwash around so can top up on the move :) Hope this helps

Hi you can by liquid drops that help with the breath, they are really strong and did help me a lot. I brought them from the pharmacist who I went to get the lipotrim, so they are definately allowed. You should ask your chemist to order some or if they know where to get them. The wrigleys melt on...

Sick of waiting for it to arrive! Im not a patient person lol. Got on the scales last night and it was worse than I thought! Have joined tesco diets to try and help it along, but cant start the diet till next week till I get paid. So emptying the cupboards at the moment.

Have just realised Ive misspelled hypnosis in the title, lol.

Hi everyone, Ive been searching the internet looking for ways to help me on my weight loss. I am a member of a gym i never go to, have had fad diet after fad diet and never seem to stick to it. The one diet i could stick to it turned out i was allergic to, lol (Lipotrim). I know the problem...

I love making soups, my favourite is butternut squash, even if it a pain to peel them lol. Thing is i'm going camping soon so wanted a few things to take which doesnt require a fridge or freezer to keep fresh, and just needs boiling as we have a gas camping stove to take. Biggest problem is I...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone new any tinned soups which are free or very low syn value? Doesnt matter if the syn value is for red or green days because im doing extra easy.

Hi, Ive been doing slimming world for 6 weeks now on extra easy, and something weird is going on. I have literally lost nothing, STS every week but have still lost 3-4 inches round my waist! (which Im really happy about). I know its how you look and feel that matters, but when I go for my...

It does sound weird they did no medical history... you can do this diet if your diabetic as long as your not taking certain drugs like metformin.

Lol, you get your boots from Evans too? Such a good shop for footwear for the larger-than-average lady :) And for women with massive feet like me (Size 8-9) lol.

I dont think any of you will have trouble getting pregnant with the losses im spying on here!. Should really start a thread to see who has the next lipotrim baby lol.

I seem to be swinging the other way now, lol. I think constipation is setting in, and for me its a welcome relief! lol. Will leave it for a few days see what happens, then get some senakot me thinks....

You guys are so lucky!! lol. Ive had the opposite effect with my bowels. I literally keep running to the toilet! And there is no warning... Anyone else had this problem?

Hi :) The TOTM actually causes water retention, thus the excess water does slow your weight loss a bit. You guys are so lucky tho! I havent had a period for 4 years due to my contraception, however when I started lipotrim it has caused none stop bleeding even with me having an implant in...

Hi, This is also happening to me :) Apparently weight loss increases the amount of oestrogen being produced by the body, and this is why thin people are meant to be more fertile! So if your trying to lose weight to try for a baby (which I know alot are) its just proving its really working

Talked to the pharmacist this morning and she rang up the LT doctor (lol). She said it is rare-ish, but due to losing weight you can have an surge of oestrogen which can cause this, though should settle down eventually. She also said this is why lossing weight helps people get preggers...

Found out what it was...... Lipotrim has caused me to have a period!?!?! After 4 years of freedom Its changed my body enough to actually have one even though ive got an implant.... Annoying,lol.

5 lbs is loads! nearly half a stone in only a few days is fantastic. you may get even more the next week anyway, ive seen a few who get 1-5lbs in the first week then loose 5-8 the next, so dont give up!! also if you drank lots of water before the diet (which i didnt) you lose less the first week...

It was on day 4/5 for me too. Had very smelly breath (so my boyfriend said, lol) but annoyingly no energy boost...though the weight started to really come of then, which is good cos its mainly fat now :)

Hi, My work friend noticed a change after 5 days! Said my face looked alot thinner. Also I was given some really nice trousers before I started the diet which I couldnt fit in at all... day 6 and im wearing them while typing to you!! :D Have lost about 12lbs so far in 6 days with no exercise

Hi, This is my sixth day on LT and for the last 3 days Ive been getting sharp pains in my abdomen which radiate lower also. Cant be period pains as I have an implant so I dont get periods, and even when I did I had no pain then... Anyone have the same problem? They bloody hurt, lol I also...

Oops! Sorry about that, had 2 pages open and typed the wrong message in this forum without noticing. Though the ice drops do work :)

I really am not a big fan of any! lol. But I always eat the Choc one which I find the most palatable, with crushed ice and one sweetener, the colder the better! I sometimes have the vanilla with a litlle coffee made the same as above, but I hated the strawberry so much I returned them, lol Cant...

Ive just had my first weight in, because I went to the pharmacist to swap some shakes I didnt like, and found I had lost 11lbs!!! In only 5 days!! :D:D:D Def the motivation I needed :jelous:

Thats the same with me! Half way through day 5, and think Ive lost about 7lbs. No hunger pangs or bad headaches. But I am one of those who hate the taste of the shakes!! The chocolate is just about drinkable, vanilla is close to not being, and I returned all the strawberry because I found it...

Thats the same with me and my family! Im currently living with my boyfriend, and havent told my Mum or sisters about this diet, so cant wait to see there faces when I visit in a few months :D

Hi, You can get "ice drops" which are allowed on nearly every diet, I brought them from the pharmacist that I got lipotrim from, and they said they were allowed :) Can get the on lots of sites as well as in some shops. OraLabs, Inc | Ice Drops > The Liquid Breath Mint! They are really nice...

HI, Im only on day 2 of this, but what helps me feel better are "Ice Drops" which are minty, one drop on your tongue and you have great breath and also seems to make ya feel alittle fuller :) They are sold at my pharmacist especially for the Lipotrim diet, thus are allowed :) you can get them...

Hi, Am loving this forum at the moment, and am really inspired buy all the losses that have happened, and with the friendliness and determination on this whole site :) Thats why I started this thread. I wanted to know what you would treat yourself to once you are your goal weight. And I dont...

That is an amazing loss! Am only on day 2 myself, had a slip up this morning, but has just made me more determined to change my habits! Id love to try berlesque dancing when Ive lost the weight, when i watch it it just looks like the girls are having so much fun doing it, and feel sexy! Not sure...

Hi Shandypants (love the name :) ) Ive only just started as well, yesterday was my first day and its going ok-ish so far, finding it hard to finish shakes cos I dont like the taste! lol. I can imagine how awful you feel with giving into tempation, but dont worry, its one slip up which wont...

Thanks guys, I brought one of the shakers and they are easier to drink now :) Tho I really dont like the taste of any off the shakes, especially the strawberry, I find that foul! Am shoving them down my neck still though, cos Ill be able to eat nice stuff when Im thin :) Made the soup with a...

Thanks for you ideas, will def nip to the pharmacist for one of those shakers! Sounds just what I need :)

Hi, Its my first day on this diet and cant wait to get to the first weight day, and then finally to my goal size! (want to be size 12/14 really :)) Wanted to ask if anyone had a good way to mix the shakes without using a hand blender, as Im not allowed to bring electrical equipment into work...

Thanks Thanks for all your replys, its good to know that what I eat shouldnt make too big a difference, though I do agree that too much the day before is just more to loose! Sorry about mentioning food in the 100% forum btw, I didnt mean it the way it came out, was more interested if a big...

Hi, Im starting Lipotrim friday next week (as I have a hospital appointment and have been advised by the pharmacist not to start before it) and am looking forward to my weight loss journey :) Have been doing the Slim fast diet religiously for 2 months and havent lost a thing, so Im hopeing...
