LOL - I also liked Carb Bomb from the urban dictionary site... I have quite a few colleagues who carb-bomb our team constantly. And now I have a word for it!!

LOL. For me, it's carby veg. Sunday lunch is not quite the same without honey roast parsnips and roast potatoes! And I love peas and sweetcorn. Summer without corn-on-the-cob... sigh. Also, I do quite miss Shreddies - the best breakfast cereal of all time. :) But I don't miss any enough...

Definitely just the veg making you retain some water... That'll come right off on your next PP day. :)

No, don't have a menu yet... Bugger, I forgot about the coconut. This is going to be tricky...

Welcome! Another Scot! :) Good luck on the diet. The ladies here will help Dr Dukan in keeping you on the straight and narrow... I'm a month in, and have lost 12lbs so far. I have another 18 to go. I'm finding it all very easy. Once you're over the shock of the Attack phase (which is...

Morning ladies. I've got a dinner on Tuesday at a Thai restaurant. I need menu suggestions! :candledinner: My two requirements are (a) it has to be Dukan friendly, and (b) it needs to be something that won't raise any eyebrows (I haven't told anyone that I am doing Dukan - because we'd...

Ah, and my lifesaver: Always carry around a packet of Fridge Raiders - little flavored chicken bits. They've bailed me out several times. Especially when I am travelling (hard to get Dukan friendly stuff on the road).

Good tips ladies... How about this: The Oat Bran is NOT optional! :)

Dukan has also turned me into a slightly obsessive daily weigher - not good, but I'm still really excited (and astonished!) to see the weight coming off... I think when I hit my true weight I might have to put them in a cupboard and just check once a week! The good thing is that I now leap out...

God yes - Come and have a go and see how you get on! Nothing to lose except the extra lbs... I was never any good at calorie counting. It just made me obsess about food. On Dukan I never feel hungry or deprived. Most of the time I have to remind myself to eat!!

You inspired me to get some asparagus in for dinner tonight. Delicious! i will see if it's magical diuretic properties do their thing over night... ;) Clever veg. I love it.

Yay! congratulations! :)

I have 4-5 sticks at a time - and steam them in the microwave. Just pop a tablespoon of water on them, cover them up and zap them for 2-3 mins. Not sure if that is too much or too little, but it leaves them with a bit of crunch (which I like!)

LOL! OK, Kazd wins by a mile. :winner: At least my crisp mountains stay in the office! Surrounded by chocolate at home? I'd be done for!

Yay! :)

Hello and welcome! :) I started the diet while waiting for the book to arrive, and wish I'd waited! So, I agree with Pink Fluff! Hang on for a few days, get all the facts, weigh up whether you think you can do it (Dukan is definitely not for everyone) and if you still think it's right for...

:eek::eek::eek: Four days of purposefully going off the diet during a long weekend in Sweden, and four pounds has crept back on! I was hoping the damage would be limited to one or two. My body water percentage has also plummeted down to 45% which is odd. Maybe it's alcohol related...

I've decided that for the sake of my sanity (and possibly my insides) that a pot of fat free Activia at lunchtime isn't going to kill me. So it has a tiny bit of fruit in it... C'est la vie. It isn't stopping my weight loss. And the peach one is deeeelicious. :) I'm also going down the...

I manage UK recruitment for a global snackfoods company Yes, I am doing Dukan whilst (literally) surrounded by crisps and snacks. I think that this should earn me some kind of bonus points. :)

Hello :) Good luck with your attack phase. It's really easy, but be prepared for the killer headache on Day 2 which seems pretty common...

Congratulations! That's great news. Veg is unlimited, although normal portions are probably a good idea!! And keep drinking. The veg makes you retain more water, so you need to need to keep your water levels up to make sure it all get's flushed back out!

My turn this morning. Another 3lbs down since last week. Yay! Total of 8lbs in 2 weeks. :clap: This was despite an unfortunate incident on Friday where I went to meeting in London and was presented with a tray of chicken mayo sandwiches. Oh dear. :whoopass:

11lbs?!?!? Bloody hell, that's amazing! Well done Jaqys!!

Thank you ladies - nice to know it's quite common!

Um, this is weird and probably TMI, but my period appears to have arrived about 10 days early. WTF? :confused: I'm usually like clockwork. Is is possible this has something to do with the weightloss? :( Anyone else has any monthly cycle weirdness while Dukaning?

Hello everyone I'm a big user of Twitter and started a new account to document my Dukan journey and get inspiration and advice from other Twitter users. I've compiled a list of 55 people who are following the diet, many of whom are already sharing tips and recipes, so if you are a...

Hi jaqys - Longratia is right. it's very unlikely that you'll actually feel hungry at all (weird, but true!). Your body is going to be too busy processing protein to remind you to eat! I see where the other ladies are coming from with their preferences to PV at the weekend. Makes sense! For...

I don't see why not - you might want to check with the counter-staff to see if anything has been added before they were cooked though!

Welcome! I'm on week 2 and so far so good. Lunches in the office were a big concern for me too. It's much easier when you are on a PV day, so I've structured my Cruising so I am PVing on Mon-Tues-Thur-Fri - and only PPing on Wednesdays, Saturday and Sunday. Mind you, I've just posted a...

Unfried Fried Chicken with garlic "mayo" Chicken drumsticks or thighs. 0% fat yogurt oatbran cayenne pepper garlic paste 1) Mix a teaspoon of cayenne pepper into a shallow bowl of oatbran. 2) Dunk your chicken bits in the yogurt then roll them in the spicy oatbran mixture 3) Throw...

My first official weight in (I've been having sneaky checks on the scales) and I am officially 5lbs down after 1 week on Dukan. :) This is weird though: I am 5lbs down exactly. I have super powered scales that tell me my weight to two decimal points and can do lots of other fancy...

I'm take a senacot on my protein days to keep things moving along - and lots of water!

Good Luck! Enjoy the BBQ! I think most people do the 5 day Attack, but it depends on how much you want to lose... and how long you can survive without veg! :) See you you feel after three days, and then decide whether to carry on.

Hello Seashore I'm new too! :) I started Dukan last Sunday, and have lost 4lbs so far. And while that's great, what is really surprising me is how easy it is, and how good I feel. It's still early days, but since it doesn't actually feel like I am dieting, I'm pretty optimistic that I...

Hello everyone. I started the Dukan diet nearly a week ago, and have lost 4lbs so far which I am slightly astonished about. Needed to lose 30lbs in total to get me to my "true weight" so I'm already about 12% of the way there! Looking forward to getting to know you all! :)
