morning all. we've had a good start getting back on the diet, we both lost 5.5lbs :D that's 5 days veg everyday

Hi Lily. we did dukan last year may-dec and i lost 5stone. we've dipped in and out but lots of things got in the way and the time was never right to go back on it. We have both put 2.5 stones back on (our fault NOT dukan) The only reason we are doing veg every day is because it works for US. it...

Thanks for the welcome back. another sneaky peak this morning and another 1.5lbs down. I'd be very happy with the 3lbs over the week never mind just over 2 days!

Well after trying the fasting days diet i can announce it was a complete and utter failure! We tried it for 5 weeks and put on around 3lbs!! dont know how or why but there you go. So back to Dukan that we KNOW works Day 2 today and gone straight to cruise rather than attack, so for us that is...

AHHHHH he didnt lose 3lbs he lost 0!! LOL (mean to laugh i know!) he forgot to record last weeks loss so he lost nothing at all. Makes my 1lb look good!!

morning all only 1lb loss this week, O/H lost 3lbs. The devil was sitting on my shoulder when we went out for a meal on tuesday. I had steak pie chips and mushy peas but i only ate 4 chips, half the peas one small peice of pastry and the meat from my pie so wasnt as bad as i could have been! i...

morning all 2.8lb loss for me this week 4lb for the O/H :mad: That's gala day Saturday then PV day everyday. We do do 1 PP day per week, not as strict as attack but i do try and keep tolerated foods to a minimum. We do have 2 meals out this week. Its my cousins 50th birthday party tonight but as...

Hiya, yes it's perfectly normal, drink plenty of ice water and/or black coffee as they both help. I also added a tablespoon of wheatbran in with my oatbran and this worked for me (i had the same problem when i started i went 5 days!!) protein makes your liver work harder so you wee more but as...

Morning all 5.8lb loss for me this week, thats 3 days attack and 2 days PV. A good start. O/H has lost 7lbs total

Morning all, after 3 days of attack ive lost 4.8lbs and the O/H has lost 6lbs. Very happy with that. Should possibly have been a little more as i only realised last night the yogurts ive been eating werent fat free! whoops! onto cruise cant wait for my salad at lunch and veggies at tea. Off to...

Hi everyone, We've decided today's the day to get back on the diet. It's been a rough 4 weeks since my dad died. the diet went completely to pot and im back where i was 6 weeks ago. Still 2 1/2 stones less then when i very first started though. We're doing 3 days of attack and then veg everyday...

hi tryin hope everything is going well for you? Im very very sad to say my dad passed away on monday morning, we werent expecting it at all even though we knew it would happen eventually. we had been to see him late sunday afternoon and he was no worse than the previous couple of days. this...

Hi joodle nice to meet you to. It's gone really well diet wise this week. We had a gala meal on saturday, a sneaky ice cream from the ice cream van on sunday lol veg every day and did PP thursday and we both lost 3lbs. Hopefully this will continue maybe at 1-2lbs a week. As for my dad, he ended...

morning all we both lost 3lbs this week. really please with that as we have had veg everyday and a gala meal last saturday with a PP thrusday.

Hi Chris, Lou and Trudy lovely to see you still here (dont take that the wrong way!! lol) thanks for the welcome back and hi trini thanks for the encouragement!

when i first started i was supposed to do 7 days of attack to but after reading here i decided it was too long and you dont see anymore benefit as it's only water weight as Maintainer says. I did mon-fri and lost 5lbs. This time i have done 3 days of attack and lost 7lbs! I hate attack and if...

Morning all after 3 days of attack ive lost 7lbs! chuffed to bits with that. My o/h has lost 4lbs

Hi joanne thank you xx my dad's not too bad at the moment he's very very tired and has lost loads of weight and he was slim to start with but he's battling on Hi Tryin! we will have to keep each other motivated! Im really annoyed with myself for letting it get out of hand :mad: but it will be a...

Hi everyone :wave_cry: well here i am back again! After restarting in April lots of things went down hill and the diet went out the window. My best friend emigrated to Australia, my o/h was diagnosed severely depressed and is now on antidepressants and worst of all my lovely dear old dad has...

morning all, we both lost 2lbs this week. im strangely very disappointed with that and i dont know why? :( we did have an extra PV day so maybe that was the cause. We're off to London on Monday to go to the Harry Potter tour on tuesday (it's my birthday!) and im very excited lol

thanks everyone. Managed the first week with no problems and i always think thats the hardest. Ive decided to change from 1 pp/1pv to PV sat sun PP mon tues, PP thurs fri and see how we go. This means 1 more PP day a week (and i hate PP days) but it is easier on a weekend having PV days. I will...

i bought a couple from there and thought they were horrible. i buy the carb fat and suger free ones from low carb megastore now

i buy either tesco's or asdas fat free greek yogurt and add sweetner

no more weight loss of the last 2 days but started cruise on thursday so no surprise so 5.5lb loss in total

HI Cheryl welcome back, come and sit in the fat corner with me LOL My first day back yesterday to after a massive fail!

thanks guys, anjuschka i think that's exactly what i am going to do. Maintainer thats exactly what i did! it wasnt just a gala meal it was a gala day, my brain decided that as i was having what i wanted for tea then breakfast and lunch didnt count, it's only 2 meals on the same day so what did...

Thanks Chris, but hopefully you wont have any! Nice to meet you to sididd, there's loads and loads of new faces here!it's good to see :D

no PP day, the whole thing went out the window! I didnt realise how big an issue i actually have with food until i started this diet or should i say moved onto conso. I am and always will be greedy i guess! theres no medical thing i just love food pure and simple! it doesnt help that my o/h...

No i didnt weigh myself past the first couple of weeks and even though i saw the weight going on i kidded myself that a couple of lb's didnt really matter. i didnt just bury my head in the sand i buried my whole body! lol TBH im not sure what to do about the whole conso thing, thats twice ive...

Mmorning everyone. well here we are again. After lsing all my weight i failed yet again on conso :o i just dont seem to be able to cope with having the freedom of one gala meal! one turns into 2 then into snacks etc etc etc *sigh* Oh well off we go again... 3 PP days to start then back onto cruise!

thanks everyone and joydrive what an incredibly nice thing to say thank you very much :o

thank you very much. I already know i wont lose any more on conso my body just wont let me :sigh::sigh: but im not too bothered id rather tone up but im too damn lazy lol

ours is mince cooked in thyme, mint, cinnamon, basil and cumin with onions mushrooms tinned tomatoes aubergine and butternut squash. Its VERY filling and tasty and we have it every week. Tastes very similar to a mussaka.

After 41 weeks ive decided to start conso today. Im very nearly at target (2lbs off the weight Dukan gave me) the extra 3lbs i took off purely so my bmi was 25. I really cant face another 3 weeks with PP days, ive completley run out of meal ideas for those PP days. So lets see how my new...

morning all 1.5lb loss for me this week Ive decided to go on early conso. although im very nearly at target (2lb off the weight Dukan gave me, i lowered it by another 3lb) i cant face another 3 weeks with pp days. ive completely run out of meal ideas for pp days :sigh: so we'll see how it...

morning all 2lb loss for me this week. Although thats good im still a bit :mad: as i was given some steroids on wednesday as it looks like i have asthma and i weighed myself before taking any and had lost 3lbs so they have made me gain weight :mad::mad::mad:

Thanks again everyone. That's one of the first willing photo's ive had taken in over 3 years :o All other photo's are of me either hiding or not realising i was in the shot. In 8 1/2lb's time i 'might' post another lol

me! i would love to get a tummy tuck. I even asked the doctor about getting it done on the NHS as i read if you had lost a large amount of weight theyd consider it but he said our PHT dont do it :cry:. Im not bothered about anything else just the horrible flap of tummy. my eldest is 22 in feb!

well done Zoe thats fantastic

aww thank yu very much everyone :o:o I can see in myself that ive lost weight but i cant see that i look slimmer like i do in the 2nd photo! i still feel like a beached whale. All my clothes are now a size 14 which i havent been for a loooong time. Not sure what i need to do to get over...

Well i am mortified with the first photo :o:o this was taken less than a year ago on my partners 40th birthday. The 2nd one was on xmas day. We started Dukan 3 months after this was taken. he has lost 4stone 4lbs and looks 1/2 the size!

Hi Teddy, i took tho whole of december off the diet. i had my own reasons none of them particularly good but there you go lol I put on 1 stone and restarted dukan on 4th Jan and did 3 pp days as opposed to attack. Ive just lost the weight i put on. It is hard going back on to it as you have to...

morning all 1 1/2lbs this week. so thats all my december weight gone. cant say it was as enjoyable losing it as it was putting it on! LOL I have got a before an after photo of me and im trying to pluck up the courage to put it on! im so embarrassed though!

Morning all. 3lb loss for me this week. Didnt expect that after 2 very good weigh ins the past 2 saturdays! O/H has pretty much stayed the same which is good

Morning all. well after 10 days back on the diet i have lost................... another 5lbs!! :D i cant believe it, i felt sure it would only be a lb or 2 after a good loss last week! O/H lost 4lbs so he's pretty much back onto conso

i changed my mind when i saw how much P&P was £6.40 for 2 bottles!

thanks for that i think ill give the dukan ones a try

Hi All has anyone tried both of these flavourings? I have been buying the da vinci sugar free carb free syrups. I use the coconut ones to make curry's and the cookie dough ones in yoghurt's but they have been out of stock of the coconut one for ages now. Has anyone tried the dukan ones...

as far as i know, no it's not. I think its because bacon has too much salt. Try turkey rashers

Oh it wasnt a *blip* it was a month of eating everything! i think i ate a small (well probably large) country's whole supply of cadburys chocolate lol we had cake, bread, potatoes, rice, pasta anything and everything! I enjoyed every mouthful but boy was i bloated and very windy!! :o:o lol...

Hi Rachel im sure the advise is to do more of a PP than attack if you're coming back to the diet. I think 3 days is plenty. You already have a healthy BMI at 24.8. The attack phase is just a *body shock* and not a key part of the actual diet. I would go onto cruise now. We have just done 3 days...

I posted this on the weekly weigh in thread but thought it might give a little bit of hope to people coming back on to the diet or thinking about coming back on! morning all my first weigh in after a month off yikes! I put on 1st 1/2lb from 3/12/11 to 04/01/12 We were due to start on...

morning all my first weigh in after a month off yikes! I put on 1st 1/2lb from 3/12/11 to 04/01/12 We were due to start on monday but wasnt really prepared so had a chinese takeway instaed LOL We started on wednesday and did 3 pp days and i lost *drum roll* 5 1/2lbs!!! i cant believe it im...

thanks guys. that's good going Nicola well done! I cant believe how fat and bloated i actually feel/look even tho i have still lost 4 stone! fingers crossed i can easily slip back on to it. the hardest thing will be missing my nightly chocolate lol but i am looking forward to my muffins, i...

Morning all hope you all had a fantastic christmas and Happy New Year! Well after being off the diet from the beginning of december we are back on again from today. Unfortunately the battery has gone in my scales so no weigh in until tomorrow but i know i have put on around 14lbs...

morning all. STS this week but as i went onto conso last saturday i guess thats a good thing! O/h lost 1lb GRRR My dukan diet has come to end until after christmas. I know this is not the smartest move but after 7 months, a 5 stone loss, not one slip up, cheat or eating something i shouldnt i...

thanks Trudy, im stupidly excited about it lol its the first time in a very long time i wont feel embarrassed to be dressed up and out!

morning all 3.5lb loss for me this week which i was very surprised and happy about! O/h has put 3lb on which is good so hes going back to pp thursdays to hopefully stay at this weight. I measured under my bust last night as i need new bras and was amazed to see id lost 8 inches from under...

Hiya, i wondered where you had gone. glad to hear your feeling better at last. Im so glad its not just me that feels like that re the diet! I am fantasising more and more about the food i am missing at the moment! i also feel much too heavy and would like to lose at least another 7lbs on top...

i just eat when i'm hungry. Never enters my mind about how many calories i'm eating

morning all, sts this week. Not really surprised as ive had a good couple of weeks previously. O/h finally put 2lb on! lol

yay sander im really glad to see that! we are soooo close! are you doing a Dukan thanksgiving or having the day off?

morning all 2lb loss for me this week which i am very happy with as i am now on the home straight with less than 1 stone to go :D my weight also starts with the stone i want to be! O/h has stayed the same yet again!

as some of you will know (if u read my long neglected diary :o) my partner are/were both on this diet as my partner had a stroke last year aged only 39 and put on a lot of weight in the few months that followed (me? ive always been fat lol) After 2 months on the diet he had an appointment...

congratulations ellie thats fantastic

morning all 1 1/2lbs for me this week which means i have exactly 1 stone to go :D (or 11lbs originally but i added an extra 3lbs on) O/h stayed the same again despite eating like a pig lol

morning all just 1lb this week, o/h stayed the same!

posted on the weigh in thread but thought i'd update this to 4lb loss this week thank goodness lol still don't know how or why but it's gone now! lol

morning all, 4lb loss for me this week woo hooo :D not sure where that pesky 2lb gain came from last week but it's gone back there this week! My o/h has sts which after eating everything he wants is a little bit weird lol

sorry no thank yous for me! they're too high in fat! sausages usually have fillers in them to which aren't allowed. also you're not allowed pork so it's an all round no lol

i peel and cut mine into chunks then roast for 25mins with garlic, onions and either cinnamon or 5 spice powder sprinkled over the top. Eat it like that or add some water/stock (about 1 1/2pints) simmer for 10mins and blitz into a soup it's really nice

i cant stand eggs anymore, didnt think we were having that many of them but my stomach turns now!

thanks trudy, i cant abide bbq sauce though or chicken thighs lol i do make thai green curry though. it doesn't help that i don't like seafood so i am limited as too what i can eat. I'll get there it's not going to kill me having boring food 3 or 4 days a week. I've only got (hopefully) a...

i would look really really ill if i weighed 9 stone! even 10 stone is too low for me. strange people arent we? lol Hi Sander yup trudging along we are, we'll get there eventually lol Ive actually managed to put the gain out of my mind and just carried on as normal. I know i'll be a bit...

thanks Teddy, i have just under 1 1/2 stone to lose (ideally from my bum lol). I picked that weight to give me a bmi of exactly 25 and could probably lose more than that without a problem. Ive been told i do carry my weight well (at this weight not when i started!) i would be happy losing...

thanks everyone. I could quite happily kill my o/h lol right now he's sat eating cinnamon grahams for breakfast :mad: My size 16 clothes that i bought a couple of weeks a go are now a little bit big, not too much but i can definitely see that i am losing weight so that is what is keeping me...

Yes we know but he was losing weight every week on conso for 7 weeks and couldn't afford to lose any more so wanted to experiment this week with eating normally to see what, if any, difference it made. As it happened it made no difference at all! He still did pp Thursday.

thanks all for the encouragement. Atropos that's the only thing that i can put it down to to. i think i feel worse as my o/h was on conso and still losing weight, so much so that he has been eating 'normally' this week. Having anything and everything he wanted and didnt either lose or gain...

I posted this on the weigh in thread but thought id post here to not a good week ths week despite doing nothing different, eating nothing different, no TotM issues, no transit issues, i have somehow put 2lbs ON! I really cant figure it out. No extra dairy, same proteins, same veg as usual etc...

not a good week ths week :mad: despite doing nothing different, eating nothing different, no TotM issues, no transit issues, i have somehow put 2lbs ON! :mad::mad::mad: I really cant figure it out. No extra dairy, same proteins, same veg as usual etc etc

Morning all. 3.5lb loss for me this week yay! O/h is now up and has lost another 2.5lbs! this is veryyyy bad! looking at my statistics shows ive lost 25% of my total body weight! Wow!

Well i lost 1.5lb. i did weigh myself on Wednesday morning before i went out in the evening and showed a 2lb loss so i don't think the meal did me any favours. It is slightly concerning, that it possibly made a difference to my weight but it was PV Fri so i do normally show a slightly lower...

morning all 1.5lb loss for me this week. Although that might sound ok i weighed myself on weds morning before i went out for a meal on weds night and showed a 2lb loss. so the meal did me no favours which is a little concerning for me for when i go onto conso. O/h lost 1lb which is not good!

thanks wheest i completely forgot about going Atkins! but it was carb free and it was delicious! lol i don't feel guilty exactly and i dont feel like i 'cheated' as such it's hard to explain. I have been very proud of myself for sticking with it as i definitely didn't turn up the day they...

I went out with my friends last night to a southern indian restaurant and was struggling to find anything to eat. i spoke to the waitress and EVERYTHING on the menu was cooked in oil :( i ended up with a spicy aubergine dish cooked in tomatoes and loads of spices and a small onion salad and...

morning all :wavey: ive lost 2 lb this week so i am happy and o/h has stayed the same so he is happy to!

i didnt realise how much of a difference they made to me, i have eaten them from the beginning and have lost every week bar 1, but idecided to have FF greek yoghurt for a change and my weight loss did increase, this was the only thing that i changed

are you in the Guinness book of records for being that tall?? :D:D

you could take some roast spiced chicken and/or beef, some fish, you could make some mini quiches, muffins, biscuits, small pot of SF jelly, yoghurt you wont starve! you just need an hour or so in the morning to get everything ready and you'll be fine

morning all. 3lb loss for me this week which im very please about i have a whole new stone in front of my weight now :D O/H stayed the same which he is also pleased about

Hi Atropos yes he's definitely eating his starch, bread cheese and gala meals. Good thinking on the tolerated items i will get him to eat more of these. It's actually another 7lbs he has lost! He could eat more veg, as i do all the cooking i tend to forget sometimes to do him veg on my pp days...

Morning all, my o/h has been on consolidation for 3 weeks and is still losing weight. He has lost an additional 5lbs which although sounds great to me it's not for him! He is eating everything he should. Would it be better for him to move onto stage 2 of conso now or just go on to stabilazation...

morning all 2lb loss for me this week. O/h also lost another 2lbs which he isnt very happy about

that is amazing!! really really well done!! :wow::wow::happy096::happy096:

morning all only 1lb for me this week but better off than on! O/h sts which he is very happy about as he is on conso Ohhh edited to add my BMI is under 30!! YAY im fat not obese!! woo hoo LOL

i was exactly the same. i only lost 1lb on my first week of cruise but as you can see from my sig i lost 5lbs the following week!

I go back to work tomorrow after the summer holidays (that is NOT why im happy :mad::mad:) 6 weeks ago i bought 2 pairs of size 18 trousers as my work trousers were too big. I just tried them on and one pair is now too big the other is ok but a little big so i went to the shop and tried on some...

morning all 1.5lb loss for me this week. o/h lost just over 1.5lb on conso :mad::mad:

me! as you can see from my stats i have lost just over 3 stone and still weigh more than you lol. I will/would eat in ANY mood. if i was upset, down, happy even not hungry, food was my greatest love. I was a massive chocoholic and loved sweets/biscuits/cakes etc i didnt get to the size i was by...

morning all 2lb loss for me this week and the o/h has lost another 1lb despite being on conso!

morning all. 2lb loss for me this week which means i have lost exactly 3 stones :happy036: my o/h has lost 3 lbs which means he is now officially on consolidation after losing exactly 4 stones. He says he will eat all the things im not allowed either at work or while im not in the room lol

it's the can't get for 0% cream cheese, i think your 0.2% is fine but a lot of the recipes on that site use A LOT of cream cheese in them

i also have/had! loads to lose my o/h and me decided to do 5 days mon-fri although dukan suggested 6. we though 5 was plenty and gave us something to look forward to on the saturday

I did try Atkins a long time ago, i thought it would suit me due to the things you can eat, ie butter cream etc but we only lasted just over a week it made us feel very sick and we really couldnt face all the high fat foods for longer than that. Don't get me wrong, my diet before dukan was...

be careful of some of the recipes on there,i think it is an american site and some things we aren't supposed to have/can't get in the uk eg 0% cream cheese and the grated cheese that's mentioned along with ricotta etc edited to say... i have had this site bookmarked right from the start of my...

Morning all, i lost 2.5lbs this week and the o/h lost 4! :mad: he only as another 3lbs to lose before moving onto consolidation. That's going to be a little tricky with me still on cruise but i'm sure i'll manage :cry::cry: good news is i'm over half way through now!

i would be careful with those flavourings it doesn't tell you what the ingredients are, they could be oil and alcohol based in which case you shouldn't use them, one review does state you need to use quite a lot so could lead to a stall

Morning all 1 1/2lb loss for me this week and 1lb for the o/h so i beat him again :D

Hi and welcome. You dont have to cook oat bran, you can stir it into a yoghurt if you wanted to. Alternatively you could add a few spices to it and use it to coat meat then cook in the oven or make porridge out of it or sprinkle it on things or if you really really wanted to you could eat it...

PP day B - nothing L - slices of roast beef and roasted ham (low fat and salt) cottage cheese, mullerlight toffee yoghurt T - have no idea, just got some mince out (v low fat) and dont know what to do with it, had burgers on monday :confused: Snacks - muffins :D

sounds like you didnt cook them for long enough. I do mine (slightly different recipe) for 25mins fan oven 160 edited to say... they do take a bit of getting used to, the texture is a more moist than you're used to. But i love them now and have them everyday

i make my muffins with no skimmed milk powder, doesnt make any difference to the taste or texture

the toffee and vanilla ones are the most acceptable due to all the ingredients and sugars from carbs etc etc i know what i mean hope you do to :o lol

well another week over and another loss! i love it! Im now 1 week into my 6 week holiday (oh the joys of term time working its a burden lol) Im eating a lot less than i feared i would and im actually not eating enough. No breakfast or lunch usually. naughty i know but just dont have the...

Hi no they're not allowed, it's very easy (and cheaper) to put your own spices on though

i only lost 1lb in my first week of cruise but as you can see i lose an average of just over 2.5lbs a week now. It does seem disheartening at first but as Atropos says its REAL weight now not water!

Fantastic diary name! we're hoping to go back next year to. It'll be great not to start worrying as i get on the plane if the belts are going to fit and will my bum be squashed by the arm rests! Ive not made my mind up about Rip Ride Rockt yet, i love coasters but dont like the BIG drops like...

if you're feeling light headed make sure you drink more water and don't let yourself go hungry. You shouldnt really have wheat bran, it should only be used if you have 'transit' issues!

has it got any alcohol or oil in it? if it has then no you cant. Should be alcohol, oil, carb and sugar free!

ermm no nice way to say so i'll be gentle soy sauce is a tolerated item (1 tbsp is tolerated) and not for attack i'm not sure about the rice wine vinegar but have a feeling it's not allowed. sorry! Dont worry too much, just carry on and cut down on the salt over the next day or so

id say no to the granuals and try and make sure you have 1/3 veg to 2/3's meat ( i dont always manage this myself :o) I make gravy using a low salt stock cube, water and cornflour (tolerated item) i only have it once a week so i'm happy to make it this way. Most of it stays on my plate its...

Hi, no wheat bran is not a replacement for oat bran. You should get your oat bran as soon as possible as you NEED to have it everyday!

morning all 2 1/2 loss for me this week 2lb for the o/h so i win yay :D:D

well done bibaloo thats great news

PV day today: B erm nothing L 2 muffins and a yoghurt T sirloin steak, mushrooms, onions and roast butternut squash - was really yummy TV snack - yoghurt and 2 more muffins Not enough protein today :o:o

that happens to me to! thought it was just me! weird eh? Have you tried wheatbran? it worked for me, i added a tbsp to my oatbran porridge every day for 3 days and voila! :o:D

muffins! I have 4 a day! 2 for breakfast and 2 for a night time snack

Hi neither are allowed. Port tenderloin only has just been allowed but i steer clear of all pork

Hi Tugboat are you a dibber by any chance??

you don't need to start the attack phase again you can just do a couple/three days of PP only. BUT your BMI is already in the healthy range. Dukan is predominantly for people with a lot of weight to lose with a high BMI

the natural one is fine it's just the flavoured ones that arent

Onken - ff natural, mango and apple (yum!) strawberry and vanilla. Although haven't eaten any of the fruit varieties, wanted to check first these arent allowed sorry! the onken yoghurts have a lot of sugars in them anyway, and it is better if you avoid fruit yoghurts. Stick to mullerlight...

Hi yes it WILL pass, it's just your body screaming out for the sugars and carbs it normally has! stick with it! Try not to weigh yourself too often, maybe every morning while on attack, a lot of water weight is lost during attack and weight will fluctuate alot during the day. Just one note...

i dont put any skimmed milk powder in mine and it makes no difference! my version is: 1 mullerlight toffee or vanilla yoghurt 3 eggs 3 tbsps quark 4 tbsps sweetner 4 tbsps oatbran 2 tbsps wheatbran 1 tsp baking powder and flavouring - i alternate btween cinnamon, lemon and just bought some...

:D:D:D thank you very much! I am going to hang on to one pair of jeans until the end just to compare (these pretty much fall down all by themselves now) i did find some smaller jeans in my box of smaller clothes so i can save my modesty for a bit longer lol

me! i WILL be losing 5 1/2 stones by the time i am finished and could probably stand to lose another 1/2 stone on top of that but know i wouldnt be able to maintain it. I am on week 13 and it's very easy! some days im not hungry at all and others i eat like a pig! Toffee muffins are my savoir...

without undoing them! :8855::8855::8855: it's brilliant :D well as long as they don't fall down in the street that is :o

nice :D:D lol thank you xx

Sharon i had a similar amount of weight to lose as you and was dreading giving up all my 'treats' but we are just coming to the end of week 12 and i can honestly say i no longer miss anything. I was THE biggest chocholic in the world and would rather eat chocolate than anything but i havent had...

Hi as long as you have the same amount of PP and PV days in 30 you can find any way that works for you. i do 1:1, but you could do 3:4 alternating between 3 pp and 4 pv then 4pp and 3pv. You can have cucumber and tomatoes but you are supposed to have 1/3 veg to 2/3 protein. I dont always do this...

Holland and Barret sell wheatbran and if you go on their website and search for wheatgerm it actually brings up the wheatbran! i still have no idea if they are the same thing though sorry :o

ahh i see thanks. I decided to give them a miss anyway! i thought it may lead to a very slippery slope as i have a VERY sweet tooth!

morning all 3lb loss for me this week o/h of course lost more! 4lbs for him! Very happy this week as i have broken the 200lb barrier :D:D

oh now im confused! are they a yes or a no?? I'd rather it be a yes or a no based on the original dukan as i try and stick to that as much as possible when given advice on here :o

that's good enough for me no it is then thank you xxx

well done sander thats fantastic. I do keep a check on your weightloss (in a none stalker way!:D ) as we have very similar amounts to lose and started within a week of each other!

Hi all. are any of the sweets on this website ok? Sweets | Sugar Free Megastore I do mean specifically the carb and sugar free ones (not the toffees choc etc) for eg the sherbert pips contain isomalt,citric acid,flavouring,sweetener:sucralose,colours:E129. Thank you

i have to agree with Maintainer. I'm a newbie myself and would listen to her (or any of the other's) advice over the book if i am honest. The book/website/articles do contradict themselves A LOT and these guys know their stuff. As for a sticky probably a yoghurt one would be good! It is very...

thanks guys :D CaledoniaDreaming - i am the same, really pleased for him but oh SOOOOO mad lol. I do use lots of spices and i am glad you mentioned the thai green curry because i keep meaning to do it! so thats on my shopping list for this week.

morning all, 1.5lb loss for me this week 2.5 for the o/h :cry: that takes him to just over 3stone!

Hi Claire welcome! I still class myself as a newbie to but everything on your menu looks fine to me. The only thing i would check is the tikka spice. Sometimes they have hidden ingredients in them so do double check before you use it. I know some are fine but the Swartz little packets arent...

thanks red heart and well done to you to and all the other losers and sts's!!

My first test while on Dukan was going out with my work mates a few weeks ago to a restaurant and i had steak and an undressed salad but today was my niece's birthday BBQ. We had decided to make this another PV day and have monday and tuesday as PP days BUT all i have had to eat was a couple of...

Hi thanks for that. The tea i ate last night was just chicken in spices and tea's generally are meat heavy. I'm sure i'll be back to eating normally once im back at work on monday :cry::cry::cry:

Another week over and a 4lb loss :D i have been off work all week and was a bit aprehensive of being at home all day with access to food! As it turned out i have eaten far far less than when i am at work! Apart from yesterday i have only been eating tea, no lunch or breakfast. I just lost my...

morning everyone. A loss of 4lbs for me this week so i am very happy doubly so as my o/h only lost 1/2lb this week so i am catching him up :D:D:D

Thanks for that. I did wonder what would happen if we had more than the allowance of wheatbran! wil stick to a couple of slices of the bread a couple of times a week i think. I managed to cut it thinely enough that 4 slices gave our daily oatbran allowance but double the wheatbran. Next time i...

i keep forgetting to update this diary :o well another week on cruise over and a 3.5lb loss. I am more than happy with this and hope it continues at this rate! We are pretty settled in with food now and i have been experimenting with dishes and snacks. I was getting very fed up of mince and...

that sounds good enough thank you

Hi all, i am after a good white or parsley sauce recipe. I tried the white sauce that has yoghurt in it but frankly it was a waste of time. Does anyone have a good recipe i can try please? I am making a fish pie for tea

either make them a bit thinner or turn them over and cook for another 5-10 mins my last lost were super crispy and still are even though they have been left out over night i was thinking of maybe doing some a little thicker and leaving out the sweetner then using them as crackers, will let you...

thanks i'll give them a go and let you know how i get on

Hiya quick question, i have made muffins following the recipe already on the recipe thread and found them quite wet which i didnt like, are these the same consistancy? how can i make them a bit dryer? and... when you say a tbspn of quark do you do a heaped spoon or flat? thanks

so glad you all like them! not bad for an accidental recipe lol i just had the very last one from the first lot i made, it has been left out in the kitchen for a couple of days and it was still crunchy. It was thicker than the 2nd batch i made but it was nice dunked in my tea! so now i know...

i just made some more :o and added an extra tbsp of wheatbran and some ginger, made them really thin and they were lovely and crunchy to. im not sure what they would be like if you left them a day, we did let them go cold and they were just as crunchy but i think they may possibly go soft if...

Evening all. Ive just made some lovely biscuits out of an accidental recipe! we have our porrige at night and last night Steve didnt put enough milk in his so it was super thick, wouldnt even drop of the spoon! I made it into biscuit shapes and baked for 10-15mins and voila crunchy biscuits...

morning everyone. Loss of 5lbs this week so i am very pleased :D My o/h has lost another 4lbs so his total loss is 18lbs so far

Hiya, the meatloaf sounds good i'll give that a try. Nope i don't like salmon, i only like tinned tuna and cod and only that when it has some kind of sauce on it! im a picky bugger lol

well we've completed just over a week of cruise and its all going well. Except Steve has lost twice as much weight as me :mad: he has now lost exactly 1stone in 2weeks! My mind has come round to the idea that my dinner plate doesnt have to have meat veg and carbs on it to be filling and...

end of the first week of cruise i lost just 1lb but my o/h lost 5! :mad: the only thing i can put it down to is he not only eats more than me but i eat more veg than him. On PV days i have salad with my lunch and he just sticks to meat/fish and then only has veg with his tea. Oh well at least...

today pv day B:muller vanilla yoghurt L: tuna salad with creme fraiche T:beef casserole, cooked in the slow cooker with leeks, onions, swede and courgette, then thickened the sauce up a little and added some wine that i boiled off snacks tonight: SF jelly and oatbran porridge (forgot it this...

thanks guys i'll avoid them. I only picked them up as they were on offer! we are having eggs, turkey rashers and i'm going to make some burgers instead of having the sausages.

allowed or not? ingredients are: Mycoprotein (34%),Rehydrated Free Range Egg White ,Water ,Onion ,Rapeseed Oil ,Flavourings (with Colours: Iron Oxides) ,Milk Proteins ,Textured Wheat Protein (Wheat Protein, Wheat Starch) ,Sage & Onion Stuffing (Breadcrumb, Rusk, Dried Onion, Salt, Herbs...

hiya, yes we're very careful to make sure all oatbran is counted so we are now having only 2 tblspns i try to make the cakes in exact portions so it easy to see how much is in each. Yea i know tuna again! but i love tuna salad! i did have one today but it wasnt very nice :( i didnt lke the...

Morning all, well we started cruise yesterday :D i didnt think i'd make it as i really really wanted some chocolate on friday! i just got fed up of chicken and tuna lol I was reallly looking forward to some veggies and planned a tuna salad for lunch and roast beef and roast veg for tea. As it...

wow thats fantastic well done you!! :happy096:

awww please dont give up! if you weighed yourself this morning and only showed 1lb lost on your scales then weighed yourself at lunch fully dressed and showed 1/2lb lost then your scales are wrong! I weigh approx 2lb more during the day fully dressed so you have probably lost 3lb's! either use...

thats such a shame, it must be really disheartening! hopefully maintainer will be able to help you xxx are you sure your scales are correct???

what are waifos?? just to compare this is my day3 menu Breakfast: mullerlight vanilla yoghurt Lunch - hardboiled egg no yolk, small chicken breast, 2 small slices low fat ham, 1/2 tin tuna (was in brine) mixed with my dukan mayo (made without mustard) 2 small muffins (from th recipe thread Tea...

Hi Joanne im guessing i shouldnt have had the cheesecake :o it was made with all fat free stuff ie fromage frais splenda etc but im guessing it was the gelatin or maybe the vanilla?? it wasnt that good so i wont be having it again. I made the muffins half the size of your recipe so it made a...

Hi waterford this may seem like a strange question if the answer isnt a yes! but do you dibb by any chance??? :D

Hiya, im not 100% sure i have either as i said my scales are playing up! im determined to stick with it until friday and if i havent lost anything then i'll give up! I was starving this morning after my yoghurt and as i was at work i only had my lunch with me so resorted to chewing gum! I was...

well think i lost 1lb overnight but my scales arent brilliant, so good start. Today i have had: vanilla yoghurt at 830 small chicken breast, cpl of slices of lean ham and cottage cheese for lunch piece of chewing gum lol for tea i made small meatballs (had about 8) some yoghurt, garlic and mint...

well tea was a bit of a disaster! lol the chicken curry was nice enough but i didnt make enough so we ended up with a tapas style tea! some chicken curry a 2 egg omelette between us, a chicken leg and i had some cottage cheese and steve had some roasted slices of beef he made earlier. The...

were they the muller light ones from tesco? the vanilla and toffee ones are fine ( i bought those) the fruit flavour ones you are limited to 2 a day and only if you must! Mine were bogof to so they're probably the same ones

Im hoping so!

senorita the 'things' on the side of a meal are bothering me a bit to! the plan was chicken curry and galette but no oat bran no galette! so not sure what we will have with it now! soshbfly..i dont like fish or shellfish except tinned tuna or some cod so plan on having those two. My o/h LOVES...

Hi all, 1st day of attack and so far just been grazing, usually do do this as not at work today. Ive had: vanilla yoghurt (muller light) couple of slices of ham home made indivudal pastry free quiche (yummy) toffee yoghurt (muller light) Tea will be chicken curry Not had any oat bran as i...

awww now i feel bad :cry: To you long term dukaners is it better not to have ham or is it just that when you started ham wasn't allowed? i can see how annoying it must be to have one set of rules that you have followed and done really really well with and then along comes Mr Dukan and moves...

just seeing if my ticker works! God how depressing! one end to the other lol

hi again, i just went back through the book and ham is allowed on attack. Has to be lean, obviously, with no rind there are even attack recipes featuring ham.

hi and thanks for the replies. All i can say is oh bugger! thought i had read ham is ok, maybe wishful thinking! i will skip back through the book and have a look.

Hi all :wavey: Myself and my o/h are starting this diet on monday. I think i am pretty much set with meals and snacks etc (thanks to this forum and the book) but i am a little confused over what ham to buy. i think it's probably something like Tesco's finest thick cut and if this is the case...
