Thanks for the comments Maintainer - I am frightened of conso lol

Try Tilapia fish from the fresh fish counter - quite a reasonable price fish and it was lovely (first time I had tried it). Also Whiting is a nice cheap fish, my husband fishes so we have had this when he catches a decent size one. Sardines are also cheap and lovely cooked in a griddle pan with...

I did it weigh in today and got to my target before my Dukan date. !! If you read my diary you will see I am going for another 4lb loss before I go to conso to be happy with myself. I guessed when doing the Dukan calculations about the weight I can easily maintain - had no idea so played...

Hi I see in the main forum your weight is sticking in attack. How many crab sticks are you eating? What beef are you having - is it packet or cooked from a joint? Again what type of ham? Is your greek yoghurt 0% fat?

I eat out in nice places for lunch most weekends - if you look at my diary you can see the sort of things. In my experiance a higher end place has much better food choices, lightly cooked and seasonal. Last weekend I had smoked salmon and crayfish to start - the salmon was worlds apart from the...

yesterday PV day went out the window - didn't stop all day working, had my porridge, lunch was about 3.30 when I grabbed some cold chicken, kids tea was a 6pm and I ate some left over chicken that had some kind of chinese marinade on it - god knows what. Tea was at 10pm 2 boiled eggs and OH had...

Anyone got a good one?

How lovely - a gala breakfast

What did you all answer when you filled out your details on Dukans site about your weight that you easily maintained, I answered at a heavy weight that I had been for the last year, I went back and played with figures yesterday and put a bit lower how I was say 3 years ago (considering my weight...

Hoping I can beat Mr Dukan with my date of 6 sept for conso. I had a large joint of lamb last night for all of us that I needed to use to make room in freezer. Not on Dukan meats list but seem to have got away with it judging by scales this morning, so fingers crossed. (It was lovely but...

roasted veg is also nice an easy and can go with anything. cut peppers into medium size pieces - stand the pepper up and cut the cheeks off , this leaves the seedy bits behind. cut a courgette into 2 cm slices, cut a red onion into decent size chunks, add some baby tomatoes. Put it all into a...

I just use ground black pepper. oven I cook most stuff at gas mark 6 - butternut squash peel the skin off and chunk it, may take 40 mins to cook depending on how big your chunks are - it's lovely and sweet so no seasoning needed. A chicken breast takes about 25 mins just check not pink inside...

Regarding the people not having breakfast. If you goggle you will see in all walks of life people who eat breakfast are slimmer than those who don't. It does what it says "breaks the fast". It starts your metabolism going, if you miss it your engine doesn't start running properly to burn fuel...

I could be wrong but don't think you can have philly or rhubarb in attack?

I'm on PP days to balance out my PV days I had in a row whilst away and my weigh in is on Monday but I have broke a milestone. Today I am under 11 stone just, 10st 13.8lbs. I haven't seen the 10 stone range for a long time so really chuffed.

I would say no way near enough protein

Since when can we have bacon?

Ok just 1lb loss this week but TOTM and I ate out 4 days in a row with the kids as we had a break away - tried to stick to Dukan meals out again eg mussels, 1/2 a chicken and salad, Sunday roast beef - no pots or yorkshire. A few days PP now to balance out.

Just returned from 4 days away and I did dukan breakfasts and teas and eat out at lunch time. This was week 4 for me and I loss 3lbs - chuffed to bits. These are my 4 lunches out: Baked whole sea bass stuffed with a herb and seasonal veg - asked chef for no potatoes. Steamed hake with mussels...

End of week 4 was on Monday and have been on my hols plus lost 3lbs! We had a lovely time visiting pubs in Exmoor and I think I did very good lunch choices, considering my loss and temptation. These are my 4 lunches out: Baked whole sea bass stuffed with a herb and seasonal veg - asked chef...

well done, I tend to drop after a PV day too.

Try drinking a glass of water before your meal say 15 mins before, eat slowly and drink water whilst eating. When you start to feel full stop eating and try another glass of water 15 mins after eating. I only say this as you posted you were full beyond belief - I know we shouldn't calorie...

that's the peeler I have, it's great - got mine from amazon - oxo good grips Y peeler

I peeled mine, cut it into chunks and put in oven gas mark 5 for about 40 mins I think. It was yummy. I guess if you don't want to peel, just cut it in half or quarter, scoop out seeds and bake, then just scoop it out to eat

never heard of these before so thanks

Just got back from doctors. Just my luck I got a junior doctor who had never heard of Dukan, mentioned my 40% bodyfat from my scales he just looked at me and said no way did I have that amount so I explained you can have a decent BMI but still be unhealthily fat, asked about a caliper...

well done you, what a lovely feeling.

Ok so I did a thread on my water, I was drinking vast amounts about 12 pints so made a doctors appointment but they couldn't see me till Friday, since making it I am not so thirsty but will still go and chat about my body. My old scales measured body fat % and said I was 40% so got some new...

Should You Monitor Your Body Fat & Body Water Percentage? | ELDR.com I thought I would add these are the kind of scales I bought eg this is what they do They came today - my old ones should 40% but I thought it was wrong but my old ones didn't show all the other gubbins too.

Yes I will report back on Friday, 40% was a hell of a shock for me - I mean I look ok because I'm so tall - now the bliming things tell me i'm obese.

Thanks for that, I'm seeing the doctor Friday about the amount of water I am drinking (this has tailed off a bit now thankfully) so I'm going to have a good chat about by measurements etc. Anyone else want to share their body fat measurement results that have been on Dukan a while? EDIT -...

My stats are right and I have measured my fat % on my new scales and my friends and it is 40% on both sets give or take less than 1%.

I have scales that measure my body fat % and I am 40% - that's a mega amount of fat I believe.

As we lose weight do we reduce our body fat percentage? Do you have those scales that measure % of fat in you and what changes have you seen? Are we also losing muscle % to a big extent ? - This is what worries me

I want to see my waist again I don't want stuff hanging over the top of my jeans I use to model and want to feel good about myself in my 40s I want to get to grips with my weight then tackle my smoking

Thanks, perhaps I will ring the doctor and have a chat.

The water worries me too!

I didn't know we could have butternut squash in cruise, so thanks for that. Is there any liquid in it to make it simmer or does it stick to the pan please?

I'm just starting my second week and I can't stop drinking water. I'm thirsty all the time - I'm not adding any salt to food incase you ask. I am drinking about 12 pints of water a day. Meaning I am weeing all the time, have to get up in the night to wee. Is this OK?

When you write TOTM next to a week are you referring to the week before you start or the week you are actually on ? I just wondered as I normally bloat before so I presumed that's when you weigh most.
