    Attack length

    Just after some advice, I went on to the Dukan website before starting to find out my true weight and advice. The website advised 3 days of attack and cruise to target (which was 14lbs more than my target!) Anyway I was wondering if I could do the attack phase for 7 days, or will it hinder me?

    physillium husks

    Hi you buy them from health food shops, the powder thickens shakes so you can make porridge, and they also help keep you regular. They also come in tablet form. Personally I cant get away with them, and nothing except a laxative once a week keeps me regular!
  164. mummypower

    Need a kick!

    Good for you Jodie, sounds like a very sensible plan to me. As for the little slip up, we all have our bad days, you are doing the right thing by learning from it and staying focused. Cant wait till I'm there!
