    Yeah I agree I also get big bags of frozen chicken breast from farm foods which taste better than fresh ones IMO.

    considering starting the diet... how much will it cost for a weekly shop?

    Hi, I spend about £70 on my weekly shop but that's for me, my bf and my son so I'm sure you'll be fine! It's a great diet, so easy and u get to eat loads of lovely stuff u should definitely got for it!

    Drinks

    I like drinking water but it literally goes straight through me! As I'm drinking it I can feel myself needing to wee more urgently, I'll go to the loo then need to go again in 10 minutes even if I've not drunk anymore and am up twice in the night for the loo !

    Anyone on Day 1 of Dukan diet?

    Fat free natural yoghurt mixed with sweetener helps, there are also recipes on here for cheesecake. Do u have galettes? Try putting lots of sweetener in. There's also sugar free jelly
  118. J

    Drinks

    I take it to mean per serving eg 250ml which is what most drinks bottles list a serving as, so both of those would be too high. I've gotten diet lemonade from morrisons which is 1 cal per 250ml glass
  119. J

    Quark!

    I've only managed to get it in sainsburys and both times it was the last tub :-(
  120. J

    I have done bad

    I'm in the same situation! I've just made some dukan cheesecake (using the recipe from recipe threads on here) Which was ok, hasn't quite satisfied me though! I had a mouthful of chocolate cake earlier, chewed it then spat it out - which almost killed me lol.

    Quark!

    I've only used it a couple of times, I mix in some Garlic granules to make a garlic dip!

    This isn't easy when you're under the weather

    I've tried strawberry and raspberry and both are nice! I discovered it by accident one morning when I'd run out of sweetener. No u don't need anywhere near a whole sachet just use a sprinkling and taste it til u get it how u want! Let me no what u think!
  125. J

    This isn't easy when you're under the weather

    If u got some , try oat bran porridge with sugar free jelly powder mixed in. I have it every day for breakfast and it reminds me of a pudding! Hope u feel better x
  126. J

    What yoghurts to buy?

    I buy either Total 0% or onken fat free natural yoghurt. I think totals the better one to have, just a bit more expensive
