I'd go for the sag paneer if you won't have chicken tikka ;) What's the mushroom bhaji like? Round here it's sliced mushrooms + onions in a kind of savoury gravy.

Welcome :)

Good luck with it :) You might find it helpful to set yourself mini-goals. I've found the 'For Dummies' books really good to give me a core understanding so I know what I'm aiming for. Being a guy, weight-training would probably be very helpful for you; you have the advantage over us girls in...

Welcome aboard :) My husband and stepdaughter are both into drama (teacher + lighting/sound tech). What are your plans re diet and exercise?

I had disc replacement surgery in April and now have the go-ahead from my surgeon to go back to low-weight/high-rep weight-training, but I'm not quite sure how to restart. Back in January (before my neck went), I was doing a 3-times-weekly varied combination of: - Leg press machine @ 40kg, 3 X...

Today's walking done in the form of a 1-mile brisk walk with Walk Away The Pounds. Tomorrow I'll add in the handweights for some extra oomph.

I have 63lbs (4.5 stone) to lose and it's quite daunting. Hampered a bit by recent disc replacement surgery and a weird thyroid, but this time I can do it. On day 2 of Dukan, and have set myself a first mini-goal of 7lbs to go.

Tomorrow I may do things differently and have the oatbran in something baked for breakfast; I got some mini silicone muffin cups from Tesco so I'll play with those. The scales aren't moving much for me and I feel abnormally bloated and heavy, although 'transit' isn't an issue. I'm finding this...

Well done :)

I will - I had a whole pack of king prawns for breakfast, and lots of chicken for lunch. Grilled steak + poached egg for dinner, although I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever feel hungry again ....

Lunch: Chicken, 0% yoghurt, hint of mustard Snack: Yoghurt + oatbran Lots of water.

If you've lost 11lbs by your 4th week, I'd say you're doing really well - it'd be a shame to give up on that, wouldn't it? Can you not have something in a little tub in the work fridge that you could snack on instead of the pastries? I'm only on day 2 and I know I wouldn't get very far if I...

Thanks - I'm okay, just needed more sleep. This is the first break from work I've had since March and it's kind of caught up with me.

Day 2 - feeling a bit wobbly so retiring back to bed with my Dukan book on Kindle and a jug of water, as I don't think I drank enough yesterday. Going to munch on king prawns for breakfast.

Now Alan's seriously cute - there's something very attractive about a man who knows his way round a parsnip ;)

Definitely making this tomorrow with 1.5 tablespoons oatbran. I'm missing 'crunch' a bit.

Ooh yum - hot chicken dipped in Total 0% yoghurt. Absolutely wonderful. This is going to open up all kinds of possibilities for sauces ... Silicone muffin cases coming tomorrow.

Cheers - I remember a metallic taste in my mouth being an indicator as well.

Good luck - I started today :)

Does anyone use them to check whether they're in ketosis? I did years ago on Atkins, and am wondering whether to get some again.

Thanks :) I can get a tad obssessive at the start of things like this - I'm not really very easygoing when I'm working towards goals, and they call me the Spreadsheet Queen :) But I don't beat myself up if it temporarily goes pearshaped. I could've possibly picked a better week to declutter and...

I'd say go for it - toning your core muscles will help your posture as your tummy skin adjusts. That's my plan anyway :)

B: 2 hardboiled eggs L: 2 X thin grilled steak (found it really hard to eat for some reason) Snack: 4 Crabsticks D: Roast chicken (not the skin) + oatbran stirred into 0% yoghurt with sweetener Coffee, water, a few swigs of Diet Pepsi. Amazed at how unhungry I feel because I really haven't...

I hope we're allowed the Muller Lights - I just bought some! I'm only on Day 1 of Attack myself so can't speak from experience, except what I remember from ketosis on Atkins. What kind of things make you naughty? There are lots of recipes around for eggy custard things if you've got a sweet...

I don't know this DVD but I do 'Walk Away The Pounds' with Leslie Sansone. I'm up for a 30-day challenge, and mine will be a 30-minute/2-mile march from that :)

I like them old and craggy, so Lance Henriksen and Michael Wincott for me. Rather like Omid Djalili too :)

I think it depends on how much you have to lose and how long it's going to take to get there, so how many weeks/months of support you'll need. I'm not bothering with the official Dukan online stuff; I've had a good poke around on here, and this forum along with my copy of the book is going to...

Starting today on Attack. Gotta trek out to get some oatbran and some 0% yoghurt to stir it in. B: 2 hardboiled eggs. L: Grilled steak. D: Grilled skinless chicken. Drinks: Tea, lots of water, maybe some Diet Pepsi. Misc: Yoghurt + oatbran. Wish me luck!

Bringing my Dukan start date forward to today, and Tesco order placed for delivery tomorrow. Had great fun on mysupermarket :) Awaiting quantities of chicken, beef, fish, oatbran, 0% Greek yoghurt etc, and took the opportunity to clean out the herb & spice racks. Going to do 6 days of Attack as...

It's £280 - I was looking at it earlier tonight.

I'm a UKer who hasn't started yet (starting this Friday). I figure oatbran is oatbran, but I could be wrong; if I can't find oatbran in one of the supermarkets (placing an online order tomorrow), I'll be heading for H&B. I have to be really careful with aspartame etc as I have Graves' disease so...

I got the hubby to take front/back/side photos of me in bra + knickers. Putting one on the fridge door and going to set one as a screensaver as per the suggestion above.

Hi all - I just joined. I'm reading the Dukan book at the moment but won't be starting the diet until Friday as I'm committed to a meal out on Thursday night. I did well on Atkins a few years ago until I dropped the ball on holiday, but my body just wasn't having it when I tried it again last...
