    Cruise PP Dukan and being positive

    Atropos - you always some very wise words which I really like. Very honest and thoughtful. I agree sometime people dont like to congratulate people because of the jealousy and the fact they are being 'left behind'. I always get the 'well it wont last long' or 'she will only put it back on'. Why...

    Attack Nicola's dukan diary

    Well don with the weight loss - cruise is scary as you have freedom of other food. I think the best thing I remember is 2/3 protein 1/3 veg/salad. Keep it varied and voila before you know it you will be well into it.

    Hi Sharon As you know I have been doing this a similar length of time as you. I have had cravings, cereal especially, but I have distracted myself so I have not gone through and eaten it. For me, and probably many more, once I slip off the wagon I tend to keep going. Its even worse if I 'get...

    I agree with Sharon - I think if you fainted you need to see your GP before carrying on. The only reason I can think this would happen is because you are not eating/drinking enough but judging by your posts you seem to be eating every meal. You might kick yourself for the m and m hit but you...
