    What do you miss the most.....

    I miss the "crunch" factor! :o I find there is very little in the way of crunchy textures with Dukan so yes I miss the "crunch" of things like crisps, toast, etc. It is the crunch I miss rather than the taste.

    Hi Everyone, Thank you for your kind posts. Sorry I went AWOL but it's been a stressful week. Had my weigh in and I lost just 0.6lbs.

    I don't mean to sound harsh, but you have so little to lose and you've said that you're unlikely to follow the diet through all the stages so I'm not sure if Dukan is really the diet for you. It is not a quick fix diet, it is a diet to change your eating habits for life. I'm no expert but I...

    PV & PP Days - routine and how many?

    Hi All, I know the ideal routine is 1 PP day then 1 PV day, alternating them, but I know that for most people this is not the case as they like 2 PV days the weekend. I have read a few posts and some say each week they do, for example: Mon - PP Tues - PV Weds - PP Thurs - PP Fri - PP Sat - PV...

    Lemon question

    Thanks Coco. Was hoping I could have a slice in my diet coke when out as it looks better! :o. I suspected the small bottles of juice aren't allowed but wanted to check. No idea on limes, though. Right best get off for my 30 min walk before it rains...

    Yoghurts... AGAIN (sorry!)

    Made me chortle too! :D Sorry, M-mouse, just appealed to my (childish) sense of humour! :o I've not been able to source rhubarb from either Morries or Tesco. Asda and Waitrose are too far for a special trip but next time I'm passing I'll have to remember to go in. Thanks xx

    Veggie growers

    I'm in Lincolnshire. My friend has also put her name down so we will share our plots. Villagers get priority thankfully so there is only one person above us so I'm hoping that we might get a plot in the spring and another the following year - just to break us in gently! :o

    Lemon question

    Hi, I am a bit confused about the use of lemon on Dukan, so for the past few weeks I've not used any. Now I know I cannot have lemon squash/cordial but my question is regarding juice. When the book says you can use lemon juice, does that mean only from a fresh lemon or am I able to use...

    They do not fit!

    Thanks Emms. We got engaged 20 years ago when I weighed a mere 8 stones *sigh* so it's hardly surprising that at 12 stone it didn't fit! :o I must say that I am surprised that it already fits when I've only lost 11lbs. Luckily my wedding ring has fit the whole time, although I cannot get it...

    Attack Surprised

    Good luck with today. I found the first few days on Attack the hardest as I had to eat lots of protein to ward off hunger but it does gets easier once the hunger/cravings go. I now need to eat much less before I become full.

    Meringues?

    Thanks! I do have cream of tartar. I know it's only a pinch, but is it allowed on Dukan?

    Keeping everything crossed for you. :)

    Ice cream maker

    I'm afraid neither of those yoghurts are allowed on Dukan.

    Veggie growers

    I put my name down for an allotment this week! :) There's a waiting list so will probably be 18 months before I get one, though. :( They only give out half plots now.

    They do not fit!

    Well done! That must be a great feeling. I'm chuffed too because today I tried on my engagement ring and I can now get it on easily. Cannot remember the last time I wore it as I was aways worried that it would get stuck if my hands swelled in the heat. I can now wear it! :D

    TOTM. -gone strange!

    My period was 4 to 5 days early which is unusual for me but no other change. Also I did notice that my boobs were not tender like they usually get a few days before.:o

    Meringues?

    Hi, I'd like to make some mini meringues with Splenda and egg whites but I have no idea on the quantities to use. Obviously I cannot substitute the weight in sugar to Splenda :eek: as Splenda is so much lighter so I will need less. Please could anyone advise on their recipe and how long to...

    Switching a PP day for a PV day

    I use one of these, Emms... Diaries :: Family Life Book Diary I love it! There is lots of space for everyone to write down their plans. You get little stickers for appointments, etc :o and a place for daily meal plans. It is my "bible" and keeps me organised. They do another version if you...

    Well done all! I weighed in this morning and lost 2.4lbs so I'm happy with that. :) Oo just realised that I'm no longer obese - I'm now "just" overweight! Who would have thought I'd be pleased to learn that I'm overweight?! :D

    Stabilization I think that is it for me :-)

    Well done on the size 10 jeans! :D I'm a pear shape so even when I get to my target weight, I'll still be a size 12 in jeans. Enjoyed your veggie chat! A friend and me are putting our names down on the village allotment list, so fingers crossed it won't take too long, but in reality it will...

    Switching a PP day for a PV day

    I write the days in my organiser/diary, along with my meal plans. I always do my meal plans a week in advance anyway (even before Dukan) so it is easy for me to keep track.

    Switching a PP day for a PV day

    Last week I did 4 x PP and 3 x PV so this week I have to reverse that. Mine aren't alternating this week either: PP, PV, PV, PV, PP, PP, PV. I will always try to have a PV on a Sunday so I can have my Sunday "roast" with the rest of the family. :)
