I think youre right, im going down the exercise route and cut out the rubbish route, if things dont go well i will try dukan further down the line. Ill abandon this thread so it disappears but if anyone with the power could delete it id appreciate it :)

Done :)

Well first day of 'normal eating with aspects of dukan' yesterday. Have to say, eating 'normally' wasnt the pleasure i thought it would be, it was tinged with a bit of guilt. Anyway food was Breakfast - 80g of Shreddies with 1tbspoon oatbran (skimmed milk) - 12g of sugar straight away from...

Thanks guys, i plan on sticking around this forum if its ok, ive taken a lot from the book and incorporated aspects of the diet into my lifestyle and find you guys really motivating and positive so this forum is also something id like to keep along with the oatbran, walking and cold showers :)

After just 4 days on attack, losing 6lbs and suffering little to no side effects ive decided to switch off the dukan diet for now. Thats crazy! i hear you all cry, well hear me out on this. The week prior to starting my attack phase, i did what i saw as a warm up. I didnt eat any sweets...

4th weigh in, 20st 8lbs (-1lb) 6lbs lost in 4 days of attack. Will be my last day dukan weigh in for now though (see post in dukan forum)

Day 4 of attack. Hot day again, got very tired late afternoon and had to have a lay down in the bedroom with the air conditioning running full pelt. Enjoyed food more today but think ive messed up with the weightwatchers yoghurts as they they 6g of sugar. Anyhooo..food for today Breakfast -...

Ive been having weightwatchers fat free yogs.. but ive just noticed they do have 6g of sugar in them! grrrr

Try the muffins... they are a treat :)

Are you weighing at the same time each day?

Stick with it Cazzie, im a day ahead of you and i promise it gets better. Im was a massive eater (excuse it that being a powerlifter, so long as i was getting stronger, it didnt matter how fat i am) but im finding on this eating plan im not feeling hungry and if i do, a couple of slices of lean...

I wasnt sure if 5 spice was ok but i love it so will have yet another wander to sainsburys today to get some ta claire. Im loving that i look for any excuse to take the 20 minute each way walk to sainsburys as im really starting to enjoy walking. I know Dr D. says 20 mins no more or less in...

That breakfast sounds yummy, will have to look up the dukan toast

Been a tough one today, really felt lethargic after lunch and very hungry early evening, but i still powered on so another day closer to veg :) (Im not a veg eater but all i can think of is adding mushrooms to an omlette and making up a lovely tomato and basil sauce for my mince :) Eaten a bit...

Hi Richard, Sounds like were in the same boat, ive got about 5 stone to lose as well.. good luck mate.. ive just finished day 3 and while i wouldnt say its been easy i feel really good about it and im noticing little changes already.

oh excellent news, i actually prefer turkey bacon to regular stuff :) Thanks so much guys

Not to bad :) definately a learning process but all in all not terrible at all... think i can do this!

Well i just followed some advice i read here about having black coffee to aid transit... without going into details.... bingo! :)

Well done Elaine, thats quite a walk :) Ive always had problems walking, my lower back locks up badly, but im walking further and further with no problems this week and really enjoying it.. who'd have thought walking would be fun!

Hmm had a read up on salt content and it does look kinda high, no better or worse than regular bacon. I dont believe in the government guidlines but they state 6g of salt a day is recommended. With that in mind what i will do is reduce my portion to 2 medallions a day. This gets it down to .7g...

Hi Poppy :) Fat reduced bacon is on the 72 foods for attack ive been working off. I use this one.. Sainsbury's Be Good to Yourself Smoked Bacon Medallions (10 per pack - 200g) in Sainsbury's | mySupermarket A little bit salty, just over 3g per 1/2 pack serving ive been having but aside from...

Good luck with your restart, i guess the good thing is you know how bad you felt when you had the pizza and bun now, so if faced with it again you are less likely to sucumb :)

I made that mistake with my chicken curry, put the yoghurt away, put something in the dishwasher.. turned back.. where's the yoghurt gone??? :)

2nd Weigh in, 20st 10lbs (-2lbs) 4 lbs in 2 days of attack so far. Quite pleased with that, given that my transit is still tiny.

Thanks Claire. Checked out the roast beef, all looks good, its the sainsburys taste the difference stuff so its just lean roast beef.. lovely it is too :) Bit of a slip up today (see lunch) but if the worst error i make is a splash of soy sauce and rice wine vinegar that's not the end of...

Well Done Claire, your diary is very motivating for me as you are very positive :)

Flip.. oh well i suppose theres worst things to slip up on :) Ive done over an hour walking today so hopefully that will pay for my cock up a bit :D

This is shutting the door after the horse have bolted a bit, but just made a version of my hot and sour beef that i usually make with noodles and veg, left out everything i thought was bad but now im not so sure i did. it was 400g lean diced beef 2-3 tbspoons light soy (10g carbs per 100...

I thinfor30, good luck from a fellow new starter :) I got my oatbran online, but i have seen it on the shelves at Tescos if you are determined to start today.

Day 2 weigh in - 20st 12lbs (-2lbs) Happy with that start. There wasnt as much..ahem.. waste as there usually is this morning either so i was pleasantly surprised to be 2lbs down, especially after the amount of steak and chicken i put away yesterday. Going to walk to Sainsburys in a bit to see...

Thats not a problem.. they are in the bin. Hate wasting food but they made the fridge stink! :)

**Please note i am not following the dukan diet per se. I have done 4 days of attack but as i had lost a 8lbs the week before attack by eating sensibly I decided to revert to that to lose as much weight as possible that way before going full Dukan!. I have learnt a lot from the book though and...

Thats what i though, given they were only a quid and im not keen anyway.. i might give them to the dog :) .. luckily i tried them yesterday so before my official start

Think i spelt it wrong but casein or caseine maybe is a type of protein that takes longer for your body to process. Bodybuilders will have a protein meal high in it at bed time to drip feed the muscles during sleep to avoid as much loss as possible. I am carrying a lot of muscle and im hoping...

So done my shop for my 7 day attack.. but im going to have to go back for Quark and 0% Greek Yoghurt as the shelves were empty!! Of all the things to be sold out! Surely St Albans isnt full of Dukanites stocking up on quark for the weekend! :) I got some youngs seafood sticks, im not a fish...

yup yup :) Seaworldfan on the Dibb

Thanks for the reply Jaqys. Its more for a bit a variety and convenience when at work. Attack week is no problem as im off on holiday and will be doing lots of cooking, but once back in the office and on cruise things like the little pots of jelly will be handy. Dont worry, my shopping list...

Sorry if this has been asked a million times.. Hoping there are a few dukan experts online as im off to do my shopping after work in 3 hours and wondering if a few items are allowed. Pre made Jelly... the little pots, they look like they have no fat, no carbs.. are they ok? Mattesons...

Phew..looks like i found this site just in time. From reading the book, with around 70lbs to loose I figured id need to do the max of 10 days even though the website said 7. Good news for me.. i can have mushrooms and spinach with my steak next saturday.. woohoo :)

Thanks Claire :) I have the book, read about half so far, i kind of skimmed to get what i needed to know to get started now im reading it through proper. It makes so much sense and ties in with a lot of what i learned in my years of weight training rather than going against it as a lot of...

Hi there :) Was tipped off about this site from a Florida/Disney forum and so glad I was. Im 38, male and 295lbs. Up until a couple of months ago I was a semi serious power lifter (in that I used to compete and was toying with competing again) and had become obsessed with bench pressing 200kg...
