Thanks Poppy - keep posting as it would be great to see how you do, in the meantime im going to concentrate on my last hurdle and start mentally preparing for the next phase. If anyone else has any ideas on my questions then please post!! keep going everyone! x

Hi everyone it's been great reading this thread. I have 5lbs to go to get to goal and commitments like birthdays and holidays have seen me with a couple of slips which is why I am off target date wise. I now have a determination to see these last 4lbs off for good and so am mentally preparing...

All feedback is really helpful. I just realised that I need to get the book because Ive done attack and cruise as per the internet but without the book i think consolidation... still 7lbs to go to get there... will not be successful for me. So book, here I come! Stick with it.

Amazing news that everyone is losing! It's such a motivation to see that everyone is seeing results - even those that stayed the same this week! To sts is no easy feat either!! I am very very pleased with myself - went to Spain for 4 days and came back last night, after a big lapse two days...

well done fitness queen!!

Thank you thank you!! :) you've made me feel much better - today has been a good start - lots of water, heading to the gym to do a fitness class now and had oatbran porridge for breakfast with yog, for lunch will have grilled chicken and for dinner mixed seafood! that's my fave - prawns and...

Guys - help! I feel terrible - I am soo close to goal - i was on day 26 of cruise out of 38 and today i cracked! all week i was craving chocolate and cake and icecream and i've been to birthday parties galore and sustained my will to dukan but today I came home from work to open the fridge and...

I bought the col clear formula a from the internet it arrived in 2 working days - i take 2 a day and i have been everyday since - I'[ve only been taking it for 3 days. the real test is if it works long term but there seems to be no warning of taking it too often so for now i am happy!

oh brilliant suggestions thanks! i imagine it's going to be helpful for many people on the dukan

what i wanted to say is that if you need to lose a little to feel better then do but dont give yourself too low a target and stay healthy. I have problems with carbs too - especially sweeter things or pasta and i have to admit dukan has helped me to see the light regarding this. I also have a...

I don't think I am the right person to advise you here... but i found this: 5 ft 5 your healthy weight range should be somewhere between8 st 8 lb -10 st 10 lb

you guys are so creative!! This is my menu for today PV B: Oatbran porridge and vanilla ff yoghurt with stewed rhubarb. L: Turkey breast and pepper and cabbage salad. – was very nice S: After gym: Salad with boiled egg D: 2Chicken pieces baked in oven under chopped tomato, onions, courgettes...

ooooooooooo amazingly delicious!!

I love dukan! I think the choice is amazing and the fact that we are retraining our bodies to use each source / vitamin from the allowed foods can only be a good thing! Our bodies process water better, the veg works more in terms of getting the transit going, we suffer much less from bloatedness...

What a good point - i hadnt thought about the benefits of appreciating naturally sweet veg or flavoursome savoury foods. I also have a problem with 'loving' sweet things, so to cut back will make it easier for the stab stage.... right, definitely need to change this habit. Thank you all so much...

Jack - you've got a good point - i may jsut naturally assume i 'need' sweet yoghurt or cottage cheese so just sprinkle some on but now i love the sweetness - bit of a vicious cycle. Should maybe cut back. I used to drink tea and coffee without sugar but not anymore - yep i think i need to cut...

Hi Guys! Thought I'd join in! It's so motivating to see everyone's progress and losses. So here goes: started at 10stone 3. post attack weighed 9st 12. then stuck for ages. Slowly dropped to 9st 11 then the following week 9st 10 and then a huge 2lbs(for me it's huge!) to 9stone 8 on Monday. So...

I think I have become a sweetner addict! I use candarel in EVERYTHING- well apart from my chicken and tuna!! I know there is the whole fear around aspartame but do you know how much we are actually allowed to have on the dukan? Is there a limit or should I be cutting back!

Thank you!! Ive bought some and waiting for it to come in the post as i need a long term solution - you wrote this in november, can you please tell me how you are getting along now that a few months have passed?

good question - are we allowed rhubarb on a pp day? i had my first piece of rhubarb today due to seriously slow transit as it was recommended by a couple of people - should i take it every day? and if so then how much on pp.... thanks for mentioning above that on a pv day it's with out limit...

Hey guys, can someone please direct me to the main page for the dukan diet talk on here? i have nooo idea and I'd like to read up on that forum. Thanks guys!

if we eat wheatbran does that affect the cruise phase of the diet? im struggling with the transit flow and was never an every day person but im trying to get into a natural habit.... black coffee works for me on occasion and glass of cold water doesnt but the rhubarb and the wheat bran i have...

Exactly Atropos! And that is all that matters! x

Tut Tut! I think he needs a taste of his own medicine... let him come to see you if he really wants to see you then let him get there and wait for you for an hour and then turn up - he may well think you have done the same to him... then turn up fashionably late and he will probably give some...

Actually thinking again on the weight vs how you look i would like to share this with you in case any of you are frustrated with the scales results. I still weigh an annoyingly 9stone 11 - something that is taking a really long time to change. But last year november i had a pair of adidas...

The other thing is what people say you need/don't need to lose vs what we see in the mirror and feel on the inside. For example, when I was 2 stone heavier all friends and family lovingly reminded me that they loved me the way i was and that this is just me... 2 stones slimmer and they still...

Phew!! Thanks Maintainer - what a relief! I thought I was doing ok. i will go to the main board too and introduce myself there along with my daily menu/food plans. thanks again :-)

oh my God - I've started counting calories again! can someone please confirm/tell me if this unnecessary - does it even matter on the dukan doet how many calories you eat? Im on the cruise phase and does the idea of eat all you want still count?Its cos last night i had a 16oz steak! i was...

Date?? Oooh nice!! Bets of luck... teh dukan is easy peasy if you are on cruise... make it a PV day by making the 2 days after a PP day then you can have steak and salad or roasted veg. Or fish and salad or roasted veg... Or a tuna nicoise salad - not too difficult. And he'll never know you're...

well done! I found that after 4 days of attack I stalled on the weight side of things so started cruise the next day. I think that it's up to you when you feel that the attack phase is over...

i've got a heavy totm as well so i think this is playing havoc with the feeling heavy and bloated all over

Your meal plan for today sounds great - im out of protein - going to do those fish cakes for dinner so better get some fish and some chicken!! Don't want to get stuck for meals so heading out now. Yesterday was my PV day and I felt like I ate so much yesterday but all of it was proteing and...

Good question - are we allowed pork? I've steared clear from lamb and pork as I was under the impression that we can't have those. I'm waiting for my book to arrive so I'm trying to work it out from on-line resources. This may help... The Dukan Diet: Put your fat cells on a revolutionary...

I've seen on the dukan site that you should try and eat the proteins first and then the veg after or at least together but never veg alone... hope that helps.

Well done on the 15lbs weight loss you must feel great! A real motivation to keep going. I'm on day 3 of cruise phase and also on PV day- I've had asparagus and mushrooms with eggs for breakfast and tuna and cottage cheese for lunch and snacked on a vanilla yoghurt. Fish cakes sounds like a...

Thanks so much DukanDebut - you are right, once a week is a good weigh in routine to stick with, so here goes! Thanks for the prep talk, I feel thoroughly reassured again!:D

All of the posts on here have been soo useful. On completion of Attack phase i had lost 7lbs then I put 1lb back on since doing cruise and was so demotivated that I blew it all!! So I started again, and now have been so scared of the scales fluctuating and going back up that I haven;t stood on...
