Hey Topaz, I was ok on Attack, the protein really seemed to agree with me and I felt far less... unstable than when I had been eating bread and carbs etc. The only thing I have to watch out for is eating too many veg at once, but so long as I spread them throughout the day and have protein with...

Hey all, A bit of a specific question but I wonder if any of you could help? I have Crohn's and as such can't really metabolise sodium... AKA I need more than then normal person would. Have obviously been trying to reduce salt in my diet on Dukan but I REALLY crave it... so much more than sugar...

WOW! Yes please!!! Not really a sweet kinda person but this gotta feel like a treat... am heading to the freezer as I type! C x

If you're on PV how about a Nicoise Salad with Tuna, salad, green beans, hard boiled egg... anchovies (if you can be allowed as they are in oil) and Dukan viniagrette with balsamic Yummy!

I can't imagine it is! But DEFINITELY worth doing they were grand! Plus can make patties out of them for the summer BBQ season (here's hoping...) Very tasty!

I know this is a little late reply but can I suggest Aloe Vera (from Health food shops) plus a little wheatbran and hot water with lemon juice in the am? C x

If you have a microwave, I have made some PP mince & onions, heat it up maybe add some water so its like a thick soup... no one questions if you have 'big' soup for lunch! C x

it's ok I do too! I recommend having some wet wipes in your handbag to make sure you feel all clean again after... from sorry experience.. PS don't worry about TMI!! C x

Sorry, the full recipe was for turkey meatballs with a citrus couscous salad... where the orange segments came in... I just made the meatballs. Don't know if technically we're allowed the zest but really!!! Def would suggest making it though! Could also add some water to make a ragu-type meal...

Hey all, Pls could do with some words of support, am having to start again. Was on holiday for the past 10 days and although I was good.... it was hard to stick to Cruise simply because we were in a B&B and had to eat out every night. I generally stuck to Nicoise salads with no dressing and...

Hey all don't know if it helps but I have Crohns disease, diagnosed with IBS for 15 yrs before they finally identified the problem. I have started Dukan mainly to regulate my eating and also lose the weight I piled on after losing ++++ from being really poorly. I do have to watch what I eat, I...

Hey sweet these things happen, can feel for your low carb related hangover though I had one after one glass of wine! I say stick at it! Start your cruise with a pp day or two and just accept this is a lifestyle change for the long run not a short term fix Xxx

Hey firstly well done! McD has never been my weakness and thankfully dont have a sweet tooth too but bread and butter and cheese is my downfall, but I'm the same since Dr D kicked in you can sod the toast n butter n marmite...... Kinda ;-) I feel so much more alive now which is worth so much...

Hey sweet I know where you're coming from if you're not feeling happy in your body then you need to do something to make yourself feel better. Just remember the Dr D diet is about life not just a quick fix and it's gotta fit in to your life and your life in to it's if that makes sense! Just...

Ps I NEVER used to have brekkie tho now I start my day with oatbran porridge... I can recommend it! Takes no longer to prep than my morning cuppa! Xxx

Sounds good to me tho I'm a newbie too! Only thing I have found is do try to limit the diet pop water seems to be much better tho I never discount a diet cola when I need a fix, also strangely it seems the more protein you eat the more weight you lose.... Wrong but true! Just never get hungry, I...

Hey there I too can say it gets better! Attack is brutal but necessary then the diet day to day is fine just keep that in mind! Never feel hungry though! I love yoghurt flavoured with a bit of vanilla or sweetener for a comfort or even a bed-night drink of hot (skim) milk with sweetener to make...

Sounds good to me tho I'm just a newbie really too xxx

Hey I know the feeling I love to cook tho as I live on my own and also have a working day just like you described I kinda got outta the habit! You're not alone but the way I feel now in Dukan and healthy home cooked meals.... Albeit cooked in bulk on the weekend n stuck in the freezer... Is...

Hey hope you don't mind me joining your thread, started Dukan on mon, did 4 days or attack now on cruise and have lost 4lb!!!!!! Am chuffed to bits! Am seeing this as a long term healthy eating diet as much as a weight loss one, about 1 stone to go tho am going on hols on Monday do will be...

I no your pain I'm more than blonde in the morning but one thing this diet has taught me is brekkie, oatbran porridge in the am in the microwave a couple of mins wiv some skim milk yummy! Plus you gotta remember this diet is for life the weight loss will come but it's the long term thing that's...

Ps is that your wedding photo? Gorgeous!!!!!! Xxx

Hey darling I no how you're feeling! This diet so can fit around your life which is what I wanted coz I wanted to change my lifestyle rather than do a diet which would lose the weight but still leave me in a quandry once I'd finished! Attack is hard! I did 4 days and by day 4 despite not feeling...

Just have to share a couple of food revelations I discovered today! Firstly asparagus soup... Yes I have found it is a weight loss miracle despite ur weird smelling pee!:confused: Dont throw away the woody ends! I cooked them up wiv an onion and some celery then blitzed thoroughly.... Ended up...

Thank you everyone NOW I feel proud of myself! Resisted the pull of sausages and this morning weighed myself and have lost another 2lb. I CAN DO THIS!!!!!

I had smoked mackerel wiv 0% yoghurt dip. Pah!

Please someone give me words of help I live alone and to add insult to injury both neighbours are having BBQ parties tonight! The scent of BBQ sausages is too BEAUTIFUL! AARGH!!!:cry:

Anyone know if they're any good cold in a noodle type salad?

Hey Joanne, I'm going to Nice then Monaco for the F1!!! Can't wait at all! I'm planning on being as strict as I can be it's just avoiding the obligatory burgers, hotdogs and cheese sandwiches which seem to be standard F1 fayre thats gonna be harder. So long as I take a pack up and choose wisely...

Wow so much thanks Laura!!!!! Especially about the 0% cheese!!!!! My dream come true! Xxx

Hey all, I know its probably not sensible starting a diet a week before you go on holiday, but I want this diet to be for life, so it's gotta fit in with me and vice versa! I'm going to France next week, and just wondered if you had any tips or even brands to look out for that may help me out...

Thanks everyone, Feeling better today, 2 days done, 2 days to go! Longest I think I've EVER stuck to a diet, yay! xxx

Take two: How about onion and garlic dip made with 0% Greek yoghurt, minced onion and garlic, a splash of lemon juice and salt n pepper?

Hey, So day 2 down but have developed a little 'non' blockage problem without lowering the tone! Today have had 2 muller light, chicken, cottage cheese & poached fish plus my oat bran porridge, and drunk plenty. It might just be the change of diet I don't feel poorly in fact I feel...

Hey there I back up the past 2 posts ignore mine!!! My sauce was disgusting and curdled! Yuk! Back to the drawing board me thinks!

Hey there nuzzler ;) I'm new too, only started yesterday, but if it helps, tonight I'm gonna have my dukan version of fish pie. Gonna poach the fish pieces with an onion in some skim milk with a bay leaf, then make a creamy sauce heating quark, some of the poaching milk, mustard and maybe some...

Hiya all, Sorry just had to shout from the rooftops, but weigh in after day 1 of attack... 2lb off!!!!!! May only be a baby step but I'm so chuffed to bits... so motivated now its scary! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Tee hee you read my mind! ;);)

Hey thanks so much at least I've not scuppered things from the very start... reckon I'll save my whatever it is bran for... erm... emergencies... if you know what I mean... x

Thanks for replying so quickly. Have I messed it all up already? Question is will this bran be ok for using in the future? Is it the detox/cleansing/filling aspect of bran which is important or some magic properties of oats?

Hey all, so... 1st day down and I feel pretty damn pleased with myself... apart from one niggling problem. Bought some bran from the health food store today, but it just calls itself 'Organic Bran' doesn't say what is in it... if you know what I mean. Have I already messed up my day? I was so...

Hey all thanks so much for your replies! Sadly my Dr reccommended the diet as much for health as anything else. As a result of my illness I also went through an early menopause so have got an extra demon preventing me losing weight. The Dukan diet has a lot of good nutrients and healthy living...

Hey all, I'm new to all this... so new I've not started yet as am still reading the book but so want to get going soon. I'm sick of who I have become... sadly largely due to illness and now a job that sees me driving all over the country all week with little control on what I can eat... probably...
