ok ok I guess I am gonna have to try the baked beans with salad lol. I do like salad with jacket pot and I like a hot chicken and bacon with salad so its not the hot/cold thing I against, think it's the thought of the tomato sauce in the beans with the salad that puts me off but I am up to try...

does the S/W coleslaw count as S/F?

I need to make some S/W coleslaw but I;m not sure about salad with baked beans!

Hi I am new to S/W and am doing the EE plan, please can someone tell me if I don't have a third of my plate filled with Super Free foods but I do have a bowl of home made soup for starter and/or a fresh fruit salad for pudding does that make up for it? I only asked because I dont' actually eat...

Well here we go...The 1st day of a new year.........Must get down to losing the Christmas pounds now :)

Mmmm loads of ham and turkey left over so cold meats with pickled onions, pickled eggs and pickled cabbage for the next week. Sound very 'dukan friendly' to me!

I know what you mean there Tan, I hate the hipster jeans.

thanks for that Tan, I was going to ask if anyone knew which was the heavier carbs, now I would have thought that pasta would have been a good one to eat as apparently it swells filling you up for longer, so I am glad I mentioned it LOL. What about rice?

a 1lb loss for me but I am seriously thinking of going back onto Slimming World diet after xmas as I was losing 1-2lb per week on that and I could have my fruit, jacket potatoes and salad on there and I must admit I do miss my massive bowls of fruit salad with a muller poured over the top. I do...

wow that is a new one on me, I always ever thought that any food in a slow cooker had to be completely covered with liquid. I will give that a go then.

But when cooking in the slow cooker your meat has to be completely covered with liquid doesn't it???

So do I Tan, I buy mine in Toucan Foods

OMG Jo thats cold! It's plus 3.6 degrees here today so positively balmy compared to you LOL. I am not looking fwd to Friday though where they are predicting minus 6 for us!

Scrumper can you tell me how you make your chilli please? I do mine with onions, garlic, ginger, chilli powder, tinned tomatoes and salt and pepper but what do you use for a stock? I have been using oxo but know I shouldn't. Also, I want to do a joint of beef in the slow cooker but can't find...

I am dreading putting on a few pounds over xmas as I only have a few pound to go now to my goal weight, but I AM going to have a chocolate (or 2), I never thought I would say it but I could go without the tatties on xmas day if need be but I think what is the point of doing that if I am going to...

I am still losing weight gradually but today for some reason my stomach is really bloated and I look pregnant! Not what you want to see when you are losing weight LOL. I don't suffer with TOTM any more and I am not having 'transit' problems, has anyone any idea what this might be? I have to...

Omg I am gonna have to make that custard to have with a sf jelly thanks mmouse x

Apologies yet again for not being on here very regularly at the moment but I am so busy with work, I do pop on every now and then to see how peeps are doing but I don't post much at the moment.

I have to admit my favourite way of using my oatbran allowance has got to be the galette with ham and egg, If I have it for breakfast I have one slice of ham and one egg but if it's gonna be for dinner I use 2 slices of ham and 2 eggs, I have uploaded a piccy of my scrummy meal x

Well I certainly put myself to the test today!!! I had family coming for the day, they were all here for dinner and tea, I done a big roast dinner with all the trimmings and all I had was roast chicken and a bit of veg, I didn't have one roast potato and they looked gorgeous lol. For pudding I...

well it didn't go too bad, I ordered the roast chicken and it came as a chicken quarter so I removed the skin and gave hubby my potatoes, I did have a glass of sparkling wine (or 2) when Dad called a toast, But I managed to get out of having a sweet when everyone else had bannofee pie and cream!!!

Well I have been mega good and well back on track but my Dad rang last night with a surprise for me! He and my Mum have booked up a local restaurant to take me and my husband out for sunday lunch today to say thank you for the party we put on for them on their anniversary a couple of weeks ago...

Thanks Alottolose, I stayed the same this week which I am OK with as I have still been having a glass of wine in the evenings.............damn hard habit to break! Hope you are getting back into it OK. I am going to have a couple of pv days tomorrow (sat) and sun then back onto pp monday-Fri.

still having trouble getting into the swing of Dukan's completely, keep having the odd slip which I never used to do before the break for the hol. Every day I tell myself I will be good and start it again seriously and I am good all day then come the evening I slip, whether it's a glass of wine...

Well that was a job well done .... expensive trip but a freezer full of steak, chicken and prawns so won't have to buy any for weeks. Cooked the family a nice leg of pork today with roast spuds and all the trimmings and I sat with some a small steak and an egg but I know it will be worth it

not sure what you mean Jo, are you saying that if on holiday have at least a couple of days pp?

thanks for the encouragement everyone it really helps, it is hard to jump straight back into it after returning from an all inclusive hol. I am going to weigh myself tomorrow morning (Fri) and be dead strict for a week hopefully it won't be long before I get back to my first goal which was 8...

Well I guess I will just have to make up my own..........Thai Green curry paste and ff nat yoghurt maybe?

thanks Jo I am hoping so :)

I have see quite a few mentions about thai green curry marinade, please can someone tell me how they make this?

Can I ask you how you made your thai green curry marinade please?

I gained 7lbs in total in just under 2 weeks, I am now hoping to lose a stone by xmas

Started getting back into it today had B scrambled egg L chicken D chicken and beef. S F jelly S small galletes with fromage frais and smoked salmon

Thanks everyone I keep looking at that pic and reminding myself how proud I was to get that far and I really MUST get back into it. As I said before I am not going to weigh again until Friday morning now and I will do 5 days pp after that to get myself off to a flying start

I have started being a bit more careful from today and taking my daily intake of water again, going shopping tomorrow to stock up on 'Dukan' friendly foods, I will weigh on friday morning and do attack for 5 days from then

hmmm not sure about that jet LOL and I was in a foreign country where noone knew me don't forget LOL that always helps. Anyway, I will soon be back to that weight again and even lower, I am determined, just have to get out of holiday mode, get the kids back to college and school and I will get...

by the way can anyone tell me how to upload a pic onto a message? I have got a lovely pic of me and my 16 year old daughter on the beach and would love to share it (it is the best pic of me since I lost all my weight) LOL

OK OK I am back and have been so busy since I got here that my feet havnt touched the ground! Being self employed it is hard catching up when you have had time off, plus one of my colleagues had a mild heart attack whilst I was away so I am trying to do his work too!!! Had a great holiday thanks...

Morning all beautiful day here but like you Cathy I am not dressed yet, my weather station is telling me it is only 5 deg c out there so I am in no rush to walk the dogs yet. Lots to do today washing, drying, ironing, packing off on hols tomorrow night and can't wait

I went out for lunch with some friends yesterday and I had steak and salad and a glass of water how good am I? For Dinner in the evening I already had some steak cut up and marinading in the fridge in some soy sauce and oyster sauce so I dry fried that up with some onions, garlic and white...

sorry to sound so thick but just 'plopping' into a microwavable dish as you put it LOL, do you mean with water? I know I sound thick sorry but courguettes isn't something I know a lot about

I will get hubby to take a pic of me and if I can suss out how to I will put it on here LOL

thanks everyone I love the fact that I know I can just get rid of the weight easily again when I get back. I will stick to as dukan friendly as I can while I am there but I am going to be having pva days every day (protein, veg and alcohol) :/

WOOPIEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I have done it! I am dead on 8 stone 10lb this morning. OK thanks everyone for the advice I will have to read up on conso, I am not sure what you mean by conso and pp or by limitation conso but I will take my bran with me as long as customs don;t think it is something I am...

Phew! Started work at 9am this morning (after getting kids up and fed and sarnie boxes made and feeding and walking dogs)!!! And I have only just finished and it is 8.45pm now! I am off to Portugal on an all inclusive Hol Jo hence the diet BEFORE I go so I know what to do when I come back LOL...

Jo would you cook it as you would pasta? I don't like corguettes but maybe done like this I could cope with it, I am thinking of making a bolognese type dish with extra lean mince, tinned tomatoes, plenty garlic and onion and oregano and basil, I love the thought of having tagliatelle with it

I just do as much steak as I think I need for the amount of people eating it, usually its just for me and hubby but may put a bit more steak in if one or more of the kids are home then I do some noodles or rice for them to go with it, it is definately my favourite meal but make sure you drink...

One of my favs is the new ropestring band, they are absolutely brill. Another 1lb off this week so only 1lb away from goal now but holiday next week! I;m not going to worry about what weight I put on whilst on Hols as I now know how easy it is to lose it so I am going to enjoy myself, its my...

1lb off for me making me 1lb away from first goal, was hoping to do it by the time I go on holiday next tuesday but am well happy with the fact that I have got this close. Well done to all other losers and sts'ers, no gain is great x

no they don't ring a bell

found it I will be having a go at that over the weekend

hmm chicken soup is there a recipe for that on dukan......I am off to take a look

I know they were at our music festival last year and he did the same there, they were brilliant though lol. And what is this talk of sarnies Tania???

LOL used to love oops upside your head

I can't read and I can't write but I can drive a tractor pmsl. I have been teaching line dancing for nearly 10 years now, some of it is done to country and western music but I do a lot of it to more modern music, It is now 1.40pm and I have to be there to set up br 1.45 so will tell you more...

pp for me again today before tomorrows w/i and next weeks all inc hol ..... .gulp! B Porridge L meatballs (taken from Jo;s recipe but tinkered with to adjust for pp) D Chicken marinated in spices and f/f yoghurt will probably have a jelly in there somewhere

Oops sorry slap my wrist I am not sure what I am supposed to put in here each day LOL I put my daily menu in the daily menu thread. Maybe I will browse through others diarys and see what you lot put hee hee. Mad Thursday today, taking my mum to do her monthly clean of the local church this...

Nice one thanks Jo x They are in a tupperware tub in the fridge ready for dinner tonight mmmmm

I fancy making some meatballs today but they would be very dry on their own has anyone any ideas for a meaty 'Dukan' friendly sauce please?

I;m up Vikki good morning. Im trying to decide what to have for my meals today, I am out working this afternoon so I may make some ginger biccies to take with me, I find them quite dry which is a good thing as it makes me drink lots of water when I eat them

Mmmm that chicken mousse sounds scrummy, just like a pate. Right that's my next experiment. I havn't decided on my menu for today yet so will post later

pp today B porridge L steak with a dollop of yesterdays left over chilli on top D chicken marinated in yoghurt and chilli/curry spices will snack on a sf jelly or two throughout the day no doubt

I have only tried the muffins once and I didn't get on very well but then I didn't have a silicone muffin tray I am going to invest in one soon

I know I love the porridge too but i also love the biccies and the galettes oh dear oh dear so much to choose from lol

I know have so many nice things to make with my oat and wheat bran I wish we could have more per day LOL. Although I must admit the wheat bran only seems to have the desired effect on my bowels when I eat them hot so I make myself have porridge a couple times a week hee hee

i mixed 2 tablespoons of oat bran, 1 table spoon of wheat bran, 1 tablespoon of sweetener and half a teaspoon of ginger in a bowl then added one small beaten egg and mixed together, it was quite runny, then i put a silicone mat (I don't have a silicone baking tray) on an ordinary baking tray and...

I also have a friend on the verge of joining Dukans I am trying to get her on here to have a read

and I made 6............I felt really naughty eating biscuits lol

ha ha I have sussed it! I made ginger biscuits today but instead of mixing the dry ingredients with water I mixed it with egg, they were perfect and REALLY crispy they didn't go soft at all.........yummm

do you weigh the amount of rhubarb you can have when it is frozen? And is it 100grams?

I love the s/f jelly and can't believe I can make 3 pots of it and enjoy 2 per day, I tried it with the frozen yoghurt yesterday but think I prefer my yoghurts from the fridge rather than the freezer, they seem to crystalise a bit when frozen

I actually prefer pp days to pv days so am not looking fwd to conso, I only do pv because I know you can get under nourished other wise

I just made a cottage pie for tonights dinner using extra lean minced beef, onions, garlic, mushrooms and a tin of tomatoes and instead of the mashed potato on top I put mashed swede and carrot mmmmmmm Only on p v obviously;)

I do this maranade too Jo its one of my fav ones but I also add a tablespoon of oyster sauce mmmmmmm

OK I figure I have been on this site to know my way round enough to start my Diary, even though I don't have much more to lose I am away on an all inclusive holiday next week so will be staying on 'cruise' for a few weeks yet! I gave up smoking 3 years ago and put on 2 1/lb in the process...

morning dukaneers, this is the first place I come to when I turn my laptop on in the mornings now :). WI day is Fridays for me but I had a sneaky look on the scales this morning and wished I hadn't as I was 3/4lb up on last Friday :( mind I had a couple of pv days on Friday and Saturday so maybe...

Take a look at this link What is Ketosis? Is Ketosis Dangerous? How to Detect Ketosis

so basically use them just to check you are drinking enough yeah?

Yes I am sure it did Tan :/

Changed my mind for breakfast I made 2 Galettes (I use 2 eggs and 3 tablespoons of fromage frais, chilli flakes and pepper along with my 2 tablespoons of oat bran and one of wheat bran, this makes it possible to make 2 large thin Galettes which i use as wraps, had todays with dukan mayo, ham and...

pp today as I have just had 2 pv days in a row B porridge L stir fried beef marinated in soy sauce and oyster sauce with garlic D Chicken and salmon snacks will include a vanilla (frozen yoghurt) and sf jelly (jelly and ice cream yum)

Well that was a weird, strange and not very nice experience...for the last 3 days I have had the most horrific pounding head ache and have felt like crap, thought I had the flu coming, but this morning I have got up and feel absolutely brilliant, full of energy, cant wait to get on with...

what is this cold shower thing???

Panic over.........Headache gone completely, it was really bad yesterday and had to live on pain killers but I got through it and it is all good now, the taste in my mouth is absolutely disgusting so I am assuming I have entered ketosis for the first time.....don't know why it took so long but...

What is all this talk about long legs Tan??? I don't know what they are LOL

oooooh duvet day yummmmmmmm. I am just having some lunch then am taking the dogs up onto the hills for a good walk. Have a nice day Tan x

Mmmm I hadn't thought about doing roast beef in the slow cooker what a brill Idea. What did you put in with it liquid wise?

It may be a mixture of ketosis and the fact that my body has gone into shock through not having any alcohol for a week LOL! When I sat back and thought about it I realised that I have been having at least one glass of wine most nights (if not every night) for the last 12-18 months, quite...

Thanks for that I feel better already for you telling me that x

for the last 4-5 days I have been suffering bad head aches and wondered if this is anything to do with the Dukan diet, does anyone else have problems with them?

I made 4 small ones today and they were seeming to go crisp as I left them to cool but alas once they were completely cool they were soft :/

pv today B (Just had a breakfast fit for a king and am stuffed) 2 kipper fillets, scrambled eggs, mushrooms and a cooked tomato L chicken and vegetable stew D chilli mince made with tinned tomatoes and onions and mushrooms I have made 4 little ginger biscuits to take to work with me out of my...

wooooooop! I have lost the 1 1/2 lb that appeared from nowhere last week and a pound on top of that so 2 1/2lb gone this week and I couldn't be happier! My goal was set to reach 8 stone 10lb by the time I go on my all inclusive holiday to portugal on 19th October and I am now 8 stone...

Aw I will have to keep trying. Do you cook them on a silicone baking sheet? And how small do you do them? How many biccies does one mixture make? Sorry all these questions LOL

how long do you cook them for Laura? I have been doing mine for 15 mins should I do them for longer?

Nice pics Tan and thanks for the idea about the coated chicken I will try that one day soon. Do you do it with a whole chicken breast or do you cube it first?

Please can someone help me with the ginger biscuits, I take it out of the oven and leave it to cool but it goes soft............they really aren't very nice when they are soft so any advice on how to prevent this and have a nice crunchy biscuit please???:confused:

I have been line dancing for 2 hours this afternoon so I am hoping that will bode well for my weigh in tomorrow :)

I was eating either a toffee or a vanilla muller every day but someone suggested I cut them out along with my massive intake of diet coke for a week to see if it helps, weigh in tomorrow so I will let you know. I do miss them though I love them especially the vanilla one with a sf jelly mmm

I am anxious about my weigh in tomorrow as last Friday I had gained 1 1/2 lb from nowhere! I have taken everyones advice and cut right down on the diet coke and dairy so am hoping that tomorrow will prove worth it, idealy I would love to have lost the 1 1/2 lb that took me by surprise and a...

I too am eating tons of eggs and I also always eat the yolks except when I need a yolk to make a mayo of some kind which I like to use in my galette wraps and to use with my salad on pv days, then when I have an omlette I use up any left over egg whites in the fridge with that. Kay x

pp today as weigh in tomorrow B 2 egg omlette with chicken L Rump Steak with a spoonful of Chilli left over from yesterday D Pan fried chicken with corriander, curry powder and ff yoghurt S sf jelly I am keeping my fingers crossed for weigh in tomorrow I am hoping to have lost the 1 1/2 lb...

pv today B gallete with scrambled egg and mushrooms L Chilli made with extra light minced beef, tinned tomatoes, onion, garlic and mushrooms D Chicken salad, sf jelly

Hi Dee its possible that you didnt let it cook long enough before attempting to turn it over. You also need a very good non stick pan. Keep practising it will come x

Thanks for that Laura somehow knowing it happens to others does help, I am going to lay off the diet coke for a couple days and stick to water, tea and coffee even though Dukan does state in his book that you must drink at least 1.5 litres of water and this could include diet carbonated drinks...

thanks everyone I will cut out the diet coke and drink extra water instead and apart from some days having a couple slices of 1% ham in a galette I don't really eat much ham and havn't touched bacon since i started on Dukan. I will defo watch my salt intake though as I do tend to like my salt...

Thanks vicky I am fine I just can't understand why i am not losing anymore weight, in fact i have put on 1 1/2 lb since friday.........Grrrr!

Also I thought sugar free fizzy drinks were unlimited to how many you could have? Other than that the only time I have any sweetener is if I have porridge for brekky which isn't every day x

no I don't have any sweetener in my drinks

well I weighed this morning and I have put on 1 1/2lb since Friday HELP!!! LOL I havn't deviated from the diet at all, I am drinking at least 1.5L of water plus about 1 L of diet coke per day (then teas and coffees on top) so I am definately drinking enough. I wonder if maybe I am eating enough...

pp again B Galette with ham L Stir fried Steak D lemon chicken (From the Dukan Recipe Book)

I am loving the Dukan Diet it is right up my street, I don't actually like any vegetables so all meat, fish and Eggs suits me down to the ground, I only have a few more pound to lose so I am doing 1 day pp/1 day pv and having salad with my meals on pv days. Have to admit I do miss my fruit though.

I thought it was the wheat bran that stopped constipation! Oh I am so easily confused

I have just read somewhere that galettes will keep for 5 days wrapped in cling film so that may have to be what I do for the first 5 days, not sure if they will last that long in the heat and without a fridge though

why do we have to have bran oats every day anyway? What difference would it make if I didn't have them for 7 days?

I can't eat bran oats mixed in with a yoghurt it tastes like yoghurt with sand in!

If the Hotel does continental breakfasts I could possibly have some ham and a boiled egg lol

am going for 7 days how long do gallettes keep for?

I will do Dukan friendly when I can but I will be having a few drinks of course, also I can't see anyway of having my oats!!!! If you know what I mean? LMAO

they are 2 for a fiver in Tescos too

Tesco's have got EXTRA lean mince on offer at the moment, I have just made 6 big burgers with mine and looking fwd to trying them out for dinner tonight, I put some herbs and some chilli flakes in them too nom nom P.S The extra lean mince is less than 5% fat

Hi Jo I am new here too but I have heard all about you and been looking fwd to meeting you. Glad you had a good hol I am off to portugal in 3 weeks time on an all inc hol (gulp) gonna be hard

Tan can you remind me how you make your burgers please? I have got some extra lean mince (less than 5%) is that ok for pp day?

The meal went great thanks, I had my chicken and lettuce leaves while everyone else had the full works :(. For pud i stuck to my sf jelly and vanilla muller lite

OMG I;m gonna forget it and have chicken and salad so much easier pmsl. I just need to find a dukan friendly salad dressing now hmmmm

oops i mean bovril not marmite LMAO!

i am happy with sf jelly and muller light but I think I will do what you said about the pv day again. Thanks Laura. Is there a dukan friendly gravy? could I use an oxo and some marmite or something? Also can I have mint sauce?

Please help me with some Ideas for todays lunch, I have got 10 people (family) coming for sunday lunch today and I am cooking a couple of large chickens and doing all the trimmings for them but, I am alternating pp/pv days and as I had a pv day yesterday (we went out for lunch and I had steak...

Can someone tell me what tolerated foods are I keep seeing you all talking about them but not sure what they are or what you are allowed of them

Ty n green x

can someone please tell me about 'tolerated' foods and what they mean? Does it mean you are allowed these foods in small quantities?

Eh? North Devon??? When did you move?

Does the stepper on the wii really work Tan? I love that. I am also doing pv today as I done pp yesterday and we are taking my parents out for lunch so I will have steak and salad. My plan for today is B 2 egg omlette with mushrooms and a small cooked tomato (already had) L Rump steak and salad...

Thanks Tan, how did you do this week?

Tan surely a sf jelly isn't enough for lunch?

Sorry so late but I have been so busy today this is the first chance I have had to get on the pc. I have lost another 2 1/2 pound so a total loss of 6lb since I started Dukans 10 days ago, I am really chuffed considering I don't have a lot to lose it is coming off faster than I expected.

Oh confusing then Jaqys cos I got the recipe out of the Dukan's Recipe Book in the Attack chapter

pmsl

alottolose is that just sinful thoughts or have you actual had that?

a voddie in my pepsi max

I just got a bit down cos I lost 4lb in the first 4 days then stayed the same weight for 3 days then put on a pound and I couldn't believe it

Today B 2 egg omelette L salmon fillet D Galette and turkey breast

I have got the weight watchers glass scales and they are very tempermental, also they have one of those round lithianium battery's in which is a bind, You have to keep the scales in the same place cos if you move them the reading will differ.......most annoying

My start weight was 9 stone 6lbs 8 days ago and I am now 9 stone 2 1/2lb, don't seem to be losing it very quick but I don't have a lot to lose so I am guessing that is why. I started last Tuesday but I am going to change my weigh in day to Friday mornings so if I am a little bit naughty over the...

thanks anjuschka, I have done another pp day today due to the lack of salad in the fridge but I have been shopping and I am well prepared to start on cruise tomorrow. Wish me luck x

Thanks everyone, that is it then, I will start cruise today, no chance of me eating too much carrot as I don't like any veg so it will be all salad every time.....salad leaves, cucumber and cherry tomatoes. Although I love mushroom, onions and garlic so that will get added to a lot of my meat...

I made sure I drank extra water to make up for the fact that I made that sauce so was hoping I would have counteracted that, anyway I will plod on for now, and now I must go and tackle the mountain of Ironing x

my weigh in day is Tuesday as that is the day I started on the diet last week. If I go onto cruise is the veg/salad part like the protein part? Can I eat as much veg/ salad as I like from the list of tolerated foods?

Oops forgot to mention I only have a stone to lose all together so only 11lb to go

I started Dukan Diet 8 days ago and lost 4lb in the first 4 days......Great?! I was over the moon and totally converted to this new diet, On Saturday night I had a blip and drank a couple glasses of wine and 2 baileys, so Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I was really really good and my weight manages...

Yes it is pp and the best recipe I have tried yet and yes so simple, taste like a chinese sauce, I am going to be stocking up with oyster sauce it really is very nice, probably be ok with chicken too I guess

Well I have been on the diet for a week now and I am now going every day even though it is nothing to write home about.......Hardly worth the visit, I am taking nothing for it yet except my tablespoon of wheat bran every day

Has a quick look and there are some really great ideas, I done one called 'Vietnamese Shakin Beef' for dinner and it was delicious, I have posted the recipe

I received the book from Amazon today and looking fwd to having a good look through it later on

OK thanks for that I will get some salad in as I don't eat any veg apart from onions and mushrooms. Thanks for your help, I am gonna enjoy my burgers more with onions in them anyway LOL

Oh OK thanks Sarah, I done pp yesterday and today I am making the turkey burgers, maybe if I put some onion in them would that do for a pv day?

Ok Ok Scrumper so I had a slip on Saturday night and drank wine and bailey's :( I was going to start on Cruise on Sunday but because of my naughty night on Saturday I am going to start again from the beginning and do Attack for another 5 days........that will teach me to be so naughty
