I really don't like the "date" thing. No-one can really tell how your body will react, and someone will always be disappointed because that date was "promised"...

I did two PP days in a row the last two days, as we're going out to dinner tonight... today is a PV day, so B: FF greek yoghurt and oatbran cake L: Treating myself to a salad bowl at Subway with turkey & ham (will be taking some balsamic vinegar in a little bottle with me!) Dinner out...

yep, 30g :)

Harvester! I love it :)

Dukan does say you can have sugar free gum *however* (this is where I dare to disagree with the good doctor) most of the commercial ones that say they are sugar free (Extra, Wrigleys, Trident) are actually quite calorific. To avoid the calories, try Holland and Barrett - they have a good, very...

Yeah I lost 4.5 stone with SW, then put 1.5 back on - I got too comfortable with it and kept cheating, binging etc... I needed something stricter so I came onto Dukan :)

We can only have "1 coffee spoon of sugar free low fat cocoa powder (no more than 20% fat)" as a tolerated item. If you can make hot chocolate out of that, feel free! ;)

It's not quite as clear cut as all that - my friend is just a confirmed SWer, so I wouldn't like to be seen as a mad case for not eating fruit or carbs...! Easier to eat what I can.

I love sugar free squash, and couldn't do without it - it is such a relief to find out that it is allowed!!! :D

So, yesterday was a PV day... B: 1 egg and 1 egg white, scrambled L: steamed white fish with a green salad & balsamic vinegar Snack: greek yog with sweetener Now dinner, we went round to a friend's. I had said I was dieting, and she said she would make it healthy... I took a bottle of diet...

Well done for staying on track! Enjoy your date, so exciting! :) xx

I think it went ok, or as well as I could have done it! The dinner was: Rock cod (I think) in bread crumbs, anchovy and potato bake, and cabbage. So I ate the cabbage, picked out the anchovies, ate the cod (and a tiny bit of breadcrumbs I have to admit) and pretended to be full! Then dessert was...

I am at a friend's for dinner and she has cooked potato and anchovy bake... What do I do??? I don't want to offend her :(

I think the soluble vit c should be fairly ok, as there's no sugar in them (sure they're not strictly dukan but near as damn it). Also, I find sugar free hot squash is really good - and you can have as much as you want! :) hope you feel better soon x

I tend to not eat much before so I don't need many drinks hahah! Don't follow my example though. Enjoy xx

Today was PP B: oat bran porridge L: beef, smoked salmon, cottage cheese Now dinner was interesting to say the least - I bought some sardines from the fresh counter, was just going to grill them up quickly after choir practice - and I didn't realise till I got them out of the bag that...

Ooh Harvester, good call! I love Harvester :) Never been to Nando's - may have to give it a try! xx

Are there any restaurant chains that are easier to eat out at?? Xx

Thanks Jo! Today I had: (PV day) Breakfast: Boiled egg (wasn't very hungry) Lunch: Chicken with lemon juice, salad and cucumber with balsamic vinegar, and garlic mushrooms. Snacks: Oat bran bread (LOVELY!!), Sugar free jelly Dinner: Spaghetti bolognaise (without the spaghetti!!!) and salad...

Weighed in today and... I have lost 11lb!! So happy with that - what a great motivator!! :D

Weighed in today and... I have lost 11lb!! So happy with that - what a great motivator!! :D

Well, weighed in today after seven days of attack, and am very happy to report that I have lost... 11 lb!!! So happy with that, and looking forward to a bowl of PV bolognaise tonight!!! :) What a great motivator!

Sugar free jelly - yay or nay?!

Aha Atropos, I was just about to say EXACTLY this! Great minds :D

This came out really well, so I thought I'd share! I didn't put any sugar in, so it came out like a (slightly sweet) bread, which is what I was going for this time, but if you add the sugar, I'm sure it would be just like a cake, and satisfy your cake cravings! There are 10 servings in this (10...

it's turned out rather like a tea bread! can't wait for my first PV day tomorrow to try some! :)

Right this minute, I'm trying out a vegetable & oat bran bread that a friend suggested to me - if it works, I'll post it here! :)

I have a dress which I picked up in a sale almost 6 years ago in the hope that one day it would fit... might actually do it this time! :) It's lovely fitting into new (and old) clothes isn't it - makes you feel so good! x

Just watched the Great British Bake Off - want a cake now! Oh well, will focus on Stabilization when I can have one - seems an awful long time away though! x

Today Breakfast: Oat bran porridge lunch: Left over steak, boiled egg and 2 fish sticks snack: homemade yoghurt Dinner: homemade turkey burger, fried egg in frylight

To be honest, I think our bodies go up and down through the day - eg, working as a nurse, I can tell you that an average pee is 300mls - which weighs half a pound! And if you drink two 250ml glasses of water and don't pee - that's a lb on! So don't stress honey :) x

Say you go around to someone's house for dinner - how do you avoid eating their food which they have lovingly prepared but thouroughly un-Dukan, or get round to eating the right food? Suggestions and strategies please! :)

I'm not looking forward to Saturday - having dinner at a friend's house. I have asked for it to be healthy-ish, but who knows! I can hopefully just pick at the protein and veg (I have made it a PV day). What I'm not looking forward to is going round to my best friend's - she's part French and...

This is really not too bad - I am not even hungry between meals any more!!! It may be harder to stick to after a while, but I'll cross that game of bridge when I come to it... ;) Today I went through my favourite cookery books (multiple Nigellas, Good Housekeeping) and found lots of recipes...

The calculator said seven days, plus I can still feel the weight coming off, so I'm going to stick with it until Wed evening! Thanks though Joanne :) I came 'unplugged' this morning too - hallelujah! :worthy: xx

So constipated - haven't pooed in two days! :cry: Will think about getting some kind of laxative... hope it doesn't affect my weigh in on Thursday!! Monday's Menu Monday Day 5 Breakfast Low fat yoghurt with oat bran & sweetener Lunch Ham, Fish Sticks, boiled Egg Dinner...

Sunday menu Breakfast oat bran porridge Lunch omelette (1 egg and 1 egg white) fish sticks Dinner Roast Chicken cottage cheese Made some Dukan baked custards last night - oh what a relief to have something that was sweet! :)

Saturday Day 3 Breakfast oat bran porridge Lunch cottage cheese ham egg white Tea Chicken with chilli and garlic fried egg (in frylight) snacks: crab sticks drinks: cups of tea, sugar free squash Feeling very tired today, we had a family day out to...

I'd do what the book says! After all, the man wrote the book, not that comment! :)

In some supermarkets they are injected with fatty flavouring stuff to make them taste nicer - there's a blanket ban on them with Slimming World, which is how I know ;)

my husband was so funny when I turned up at table with just my beef... he looked at my plate then at his... and then was like "would you like some broccoli???" he felt guilty because I didn't have veg, lol!

you go girl!! :)

I could kill for a nice piece of broccoli :8855:

Went into Wimbledon H&B and they had none! The manager told me that they don't know when the next shipment is coming in, as they're looking for a new supplier because - you guessed it - the suppliers of oat bran are all putting their prices up! I wonder why??!! :rolleyes: Managed to get some in...

I'm in Croydon, Jade. Just about to hop on the tram - will give you a wave :wave_cry: :)

oh and this might sound strange, but I can't wait until we can have some veggies!

Second Day plan is: Breakfast Omelette (1 egg + 1 egg white) ham Lunch cottage cheese fish sticks hard boiled egg Dinner Fish with herbs & mayo (and hubby will have a lovely hollandaise sauce with my left over egg yolks!!! *salivates*) Aiming to drink water, sugar...

I know :sigh: I live right near a H&B so I went up in the morning... you just can't get the Health Food shops these days!!! Have to go to Wimbledon today anyway so will try there...

Started Dukan Attack today - hope I'm doing it right! All comments welcome! Thursday: Breakfast: Omelette (1 egg+1 egg white) in frylight Black coffee with sweetener Lunch: Garlic & chilli prawns, seafood sticks oat bran pancake (this was lush!! definitely having this again!) Dinner...

Hi, I'm Steph, first day on the plan today! :) Quick question - can we have wheat bran instead of oat bran?? At H&B today they were out of oat bran but they did have wheat bran - it has far more fibre per 100g! Thanks guys :)

Hello all :wave_cry:, I've been on SW for the last year and have lost 4 stone :D, however I've decided to start again with WW, as I have a tendency to binge and need to get my portions under control :break_diet:, and SW doesn't really help with that! Looking forward to sharing my journey with...

Hello all :wave_cry:, I have come back to WW after following SW for 8 months and losing 4 stone :D, but it's not working for me anymore as I have a tendency to binge and I need to get my portions under control! I'm going to follow the old points system, as that's what I'm used to! How does...
