Just thought I would let you know that I am still here. It's been a busy couple of weeks preparing students for GCSE exams and A levels so haven't been coming on here. Nice to see you all again. Well I have had a bad couple of weeks - not because I have slipped off the diet or anything like that...

COme on Jess, you can do it. We are on the same weight loss for about the same time. It will come off but we have to be strong. Glad to see you are feeling better about it now though. Mandy

Really happy today - more lbs off. Went out for lunch yesterday and was very proud of myself Order two giant skewers of chicken served with chips (which I didn't realise) but didn't touch one of them. Today's feast: B: Youghurt and oatbran Lunch: Roast chicken, brocoli, swede Tea: Plain...

I haven't eaten any yet so I might as well steer clear then. Thanks.

Are we allowed pork?

Thank you - done

Anyone know how to change the title in my thread?

Oh I was getting excited there at the thought of adding pork. Oh well never mind.

Welcome Antomhic. I am sure that someone will comment on your menu shortly. I have only been doing this since Easter so don't feel experienced enough to comment. Could you fill your stats in as people will be able to help you more if they can see what you need to do. Everyone on here is really...

Well still going really well and I have increased the exercise. Am really happy on this diet and not craving anything - well maybe Helman's Mayonaise. Can anyone tell me how to change the title in this thread - I don't want to be a newbie anymore?

Whoo hoo. I decided to have a trawl through my clothes at the back of my wardrobe. I bought an outfit from next 3 years ago and never wore it. I dragged it out and it fit - just. I am going to a Year 13 leaver's meal towards the end of June at school and it is my target - to have it fit...

That chicken sounds good - that's my lunch sorted for tomorrow.

Brilliant. Thankyou. Maybe I will try to have less PV days and then I might not feel as though I am forcing myself to eat them.

Can anyone explain the science behind the veggies being added in cruise. So you think it matters too much if I don't get many in my diet - I am really struggling to eat anything apart from protein.

Yes I am but I am struggling a bit with the veggies - I don't seem to want them. Wonder if I have become reliant on chicken too much. On a PV day tomorrow. I am struggling to eat enough full stop I think. You have lost a lot - well done. I think I need to exercise more.

OK so I haven't posted in a while but here is what I had today: Yoghurt with Oat bran (as always as it is all I have time for in the mornings) Dinner: CHicken breast, 2 slices of ham (Am back at work so don't have time for much and often not much on offer in canteen) Tea - half a chicken Will...

No I did start a post in the Easter holidays but can't seem to keep it up. Now I am back at work I seem to have little time to do it so only come on here when I can. Will try and find my post again and start posting diaries as and when I can.

I have been doing this about 3 weeks now and have lost quite a bit. You say it is hard but it is the only diet I have been on where I can eat so much food. My husband says he has never seen me eat so much. I was a non eater before, all day without food and then stuffing my face in the evening. I...

Ha ha - sorry - wrote this on the wrong thread. Was reading someone's diary and they said they had eaten Quorn sausages - will find the right the right thread and post there. lol

When can we eat quorn sausages? Were they special ones or will any do?

Made some oat bran biscuits, baked them until hard and just piled the cheescake mixture on top. Wasn't like a real cheesecake of course but satisfied me. Used 2 tablespoons oatbran, dash of splenda, water and a smidging of yoghurt to help it stick. Plopped it into the bottom of 6 muffin cases...

So how many eggs should we be eating a week. I think I have one way beyond 5!

What is turkey luc lac? Today's meals PP B Yoghurt and oat bran Lunch: half a chicken D: Half a chicken, 2 eggs, yoghurt

I'd best up my intake then. Have a whole chicken cooked and ready for tomorrow but I keep picking at it!

Oh yes sorry - oat bran. lol

PV day B:Youghurt L: Chicken breast with lettuce and cucumber D: Peppered steak with small amount of white cabbage, cheescake mixture with a sort of oatmeal biscuit for the base Whole chicken just out of the oven to pick at and for tomorrow's lunch. Gosh Emmma I don't think I could eat all of...

oh I have chickens too. I have had them for about 2 years now - I love them. The eggs are great too. We have a fenced off area in the garden for ours - we have 10 and a cock called Dave. They do jump the fence and do ruin the garden so we have been out this morning to buy some trellis to make...

Ah you posted - thanks. Off to make it now.

Arghhh we need the cheesecake recipe. Gotta go cook it now.

One great thing I have noticed is the way my teeth still feel clean by night time. It makes you realise how much sugar we eat in a normal diet.:happy036:

Thanks - well this is what I am planning for tomorrow: Breakfast: Youghurt and oatbran Lunch: Chicken and salad (Can't wait) with a boiled egg Dinner: Peppered steak and salad including Dukan coleslaw What do you think?

OMG I miss it. It is the only think I miss having had it on everything. I am going to make some Dukan style - any tips?

SO I tried making the muffins from the Dukan recipe book adn they just came out like scrambled egg! Any ideas? I will try the biscuits though - how much wheatbran are you allowed?

So I am going onto cruise tomorrow - do I need to add anything in particular or do I just add in the vegetables? DO I stay on the same oat bran? I don't have the actual book, only the recipe book so I need to know if I do alternating days of protein only and protein and veg. Sorry to be a pain...

Yep all OK. All yoghurts fat free, chicken baked in foil with a few herbs, drinks only water and coffee with skimmed milk and sweetner(X1), nothing else to drink. Transit fine - no problems there and not TOTM. Oh well - I'll keep plodidng on will resist the scales. Thanks

Yes the scales are brand new. I had lost 6 pounds in the first couple of days but now that is only four as I seem to have gone up. Have done 6 days on attack and now am going to move to the next stage. I have been drinking around 1 and 1/2 litres of water plus a couple of coffees each day...

Is it right that you should weigh more in the morning than last thing at night? Very odd. Still not losing according to morning weighing! Sacles last night said 179.2 but this morning said 184. Hubby is getting annoyed with me and said he is going to hide all the scales for a week. I think he...

Well I don't know what I am doing wrong but today the scales went back up. I am following it exactly but feel down today. So far today I have had: B - Yoghurt, coffee Lunch - 2 chicken breasts, coffee Lots of water For tea I will be having a gallette with chicken I don't really do snacks, never...

I think it comes from having 4 children, a little extra put on each time. I am also a teacher so have little time for anything other than work and so don't do a lot of exercise. Like I said, I am not really a foodie so eating only when I am hungry is the wrong thing to do. I never eat breakfast...

Yes I did buy the recipe book and have read it already. SOme fab recipes for the attack stage so I now need to go back and stock up on all the little bits that make the meals tasty, although I am managing with just baking in foil in the oven with a few herbs etc. I was a bit of a non eater so I...

OK, so have been to town to get the right oat bran. Went to the library to get the book - guess what? All out or reserved. Went to WHSmith and could only get the recipe book. I guess I will have to order it but i am the type of person that wants it now! Oh well, will ahve to wait.

So, weight is starting to shift and the only side effect is the headaches. Am drinking plenty so not sure what to do about that. I have a couple of questions though: How do you know if you are in ketosis? Which type of oat bran do you use - I think I may have the porridge type. This is what I...

Yes went to the website to put in details but it said I had to subscribe and unfortunately that is something I can't afford at the moment.

Thanks. Have updated details - not sure about target loss so have just put in what I would love to be. I am not sure what my official ideal weight is but two stone seems a good target to me. Will have a look for that Gallette recipe.

Thank you. Yes I will, once I have the 50 posts required. Just wondering how everyone uses their aot bran allowance - what do you do with it?

Another newbie here. I am trying the Dukan diet because it suits me and am finding it easy. However, the weight is not shifting and am losing the will to live. I am off the supermarket now to get stocked up and thinking of getting some digital scales. Mine are very old (perhaps I am using this...

Just joined today...thought I would make myself known. Hope all is well with everyone.
