    Cruise PP Sugar Free Chocolate????

    Hi Fire Angel, I so understand! I've not found any chocolate bars but you can get some chocolate sauces from Atkins Product, bar | Low Carb Megastore, Carbohydrate Diet, shopping, chocolate, diet, food although personally I find the choc one I got a bit artificial tasting. Or you can have...

    Illness

    I hope you are feeling better soon. I'm not back on Dukan yet as I have stil not been feeling everything is entirely back to normal, but I've also been eating a lot of bread and so am quite bloated. Now I can face denser protein I am going to introduce it back over a few days. I have to admit...

    Illness

    Hey all, Well, I've done well avoiding the winter bugs for years, but 2012 seems to be my year for catching up. I've so far done flu and now the dreaded stomach bug. All this means I seems to be in and out of ketosis like a jack in the box. Bread and so on are just the easiest things to eat...

    What is your xmas resolution?

    Oh dear, is it just me who's slipped in a major way over the past few days? I was doing well - I even missed the work Christmas dinner as I knew it was just to full of temptations but I'd decided I will have a full Christmas lunch as quite honestly my mum's roast potatoes just cannot be...

    Are we allowed quorn on dukan?

    I do use the quorn mince or chunks - I'm giving the sliced meat style pieces at the moment so can't yet say if they are causing any stalling.

    How fast are you loosing?

    I've been on Cruise for just over 3 months and have lost just over 2.5 stone. I've noticed that my weight loss has slowed down and I tend to be the same for a week or so then loose a couple of pounds together so guess I'm on 1.5 - 2 lbs a week. Dukan reckoned 3-4 lbs a week in the book but I'd...

    Cruise PP :(

    Hi I know it's disheartening but am sure it's a blip. All sorts of things can affect it such as TOTM, 'transit' changes etc. I am sure the cheese wouldn't have done that, of doesn't even weigh a whole lb itself! As I understand it, small indiscretions might stall you for a few days but that's...

    Ruths PP/PV Diary 12.5lbs Down 25 To Go

    Don't worry about eating too much - if you eat allowed foods you can have as much as you like! And actually it is good to eat lots as if you aren't hungry you are less likely to be tempted when you see something you shouldn't eat. It should be possible to do this with your shift work - I don't...

    Cruise PP For those who have lost well during cruise

    Hi, I've found that I can stay the same weight for a week or so then loose a few pounds together - it just seems to be my own pattern, I'm sure you'll develop yur own. I would like to vary my meals more but tbh was fed up of cooking and don't want to spend half an hour in the kitchen after...

    Epic Fail!!!

    Hey, as Trudy said - we all do it - my mum's birthday cake (bought by a friend) was amazing, I'm only human!!! I've had the occasional big night out and have found I may stall a week or so but haven't instantly put back on all my weight! I think the diet is so specific that it can make us...

    In case anyone is interested

    I think I'd avoid the packed chicken if I could but quite honestly it's so hard finding something to eat on the go that I do get these - and also the flavoured ones which do have a little sugar in but sometimes less calories than the plain which I don't understand!

    Ruths PP/PV Diary 12.5lbs Down 25 To Go

    Welcome to the DD! For the oatbran thing it's 1.5 tbsp for attack then 2 for cruise. I found it really helpful to ask questions here, especially when I first set out, as there are often things I thought of along the way (or more likely things I wanted to know if I could have :D ) The only...

    A bit upset

    Hi, Please don't be too upset - I often find I can put on the odd pound (which I think is about 0.4 kg) then it'll go and I'll loose a couple together - weight loss is strange like that! It can be all sorts of things. It is disheartening but look at how well you've done and know it can slow...

    Cruise. Swapping PP and PV days?

    Hi, I'd agree with Dgirl. I don't know what the official advice would be but for example if I've a meal out planned I tend to have it as a PV day as it's easier. The book does say that a different combinations is possible though, say 5 PP days and 5 PV days though. Give it a go and see how you...

    I was just logging on to post something very similar. I've been Dukaning for nearly 3 months and have lost 2 stone but this is slowing down and have had a lot of temptation around me this last week. We had a whole load of cakes a doughnuts bought into work last week which I did resist but then...

    Hey all, Thought I'd come and say hi. I've been on Dukan for a couple of months now and have now lost 2 stone. It's been a rather up and down month or so for me - a holiday which was lovely and I'm afraid I had to stop the diet then as it was just too difficult to do when we were eating out so...

    1 lb up

    The same thing happened to me and after a couple of days it went and took another one with it. Looking at your start date I'm guessing you are less than a week into Cruise? Your body does need to adjust too. The muller lite may not have helped but I reckon in a week or so you'll be well back on...

    Festival

    Hey all, Well, I went to the festival over the weekend and managed not to gain any weight! I couldn't stick 100% to Dukan as I was limited to what was available on site so had lots of sausages and burgers (good quality ones) without the roll. Everyone just assumes you are gluten intolerant...

    Stalled

    Thanks all. The stubborn gained pound has gone again :) I had an 'opps' moment this morning though - I opened a new tub of yoghurt yesterday and to my delight this tub tasted nicer than my last couple. I had some more this morning and suddenly thought I ought to recheck the label, and right...

    Thanks all. I skipped my PV day yesterday to see if that'll help. I'll keep on going and hopefully it'll get back on track soon.

    Stalled

    Thanks - I told myself it might happen, it's just terribly disheartening when it does. I'm away this weekend too (camping at a festival) and am worried how I'll manage with that. I can take some things with me but fresh food won't last for more than a day or 2 even in a cold box. Choccie x

    Stalled

    After a flying start I started cruise on Tuesday and stalled Thursday, even putting on a pound -where did that come from? I can't even have consumed enough calories for it. I've been really good and even on PV days not eating that many veggies. I've just done 2 PP days to try and kick start it...

    Tolerated items

    Hey all, I've seen references to tolerate items on here - like soy sauce but my book says this is ok in attack, and that in cruise we are only allowed limited dairy, but I can't find this in my book. Can anyone help my confusion? Choccie x
  33. Choccie

    Low fat dairy

    Hi, I think for the soft cheese people tend to use the very low fat as fat free isn't available. I saw some WW 2.7% fat creme fraiche - if this is similar to the cheese, would it be allowed? Choccie x

    I wouldn't worry too much - and you've done zumba and are going to do some pp days, I'm sure that'll more than make up for it.

    Sounds like shes on stabilization, the last one after consolidation. It sounds quite soon if it's just a couple of months after she finished though as yo are supposed to do consolidation first for (I think) 5 days per pound lost.

    Attack Lean Mince Beef???

    Hi, My book says onions are allowed for flavouring. I made burgers using mince, an egg, some onion and a little bit of curry powder. I've also used some chilli in mince dishes for my attack week. Hope this helps! Choccie x

    Xenical and Dukan?

    Xenical and Dukan?

    I started Dukan last week and have lost half a stone in the attack stage :happy036: I've got another 4 and a half stone to go and wondered if also using Xenical would help or if it would be unwise. I believe Xenical from my dr (who said ages ago she'd consider it for me) has to be combined...

    Hey all, well it's been a week and I'm half a stone down :happy036: just another 4 and a half to go! Now, this is probably going to take some time, and I am not sure I can be that good for that long. Has anyone had a big night out on Cruise - how much damage did it do?

    I started Attack on Monday and am wondering when to move on to the next stage. I know the length is related to how much you have to loose but it's not that detailed on when you've a fair bit to loose (70 lbs in my case). (I love how it says needing to loose over 40 pounds is rare!) So, how...

    Vanilla

    I tried vanilla flavouring yesterday and loved it so have used it in several things (gallette, yoghurt etc) but have realised my vanilla extract is in a sugar and alcohol base. As it's just a little does it matter or should I just use pods?

    Body Shape - changes??

    I was wondering about shape change too. While attack has quick weight loss do some inches go too or do they catch up later?! The silver lining of weight gain for me was a boost in my assets but it'll be worth them shrinking if the rest of me does too.
