I've just had a major blowout after a month on dukan and 12.5lbs loss. I had plateaued and was getting tired. So one day off and then I'm gonna do 3 days pp - fingers crossed!

Thank u. I'm unsure really, I could do with losing 3-5 pounds In less than 3 weeks. This would have been easily possible on the dukan but it's almost like my body has got use to it and won't budge any further!

Fantastic THANKYOU! I am torn between this and the 17 day diet which doesn't appear to get a mention on this site. I need to decide quickly!

Hi guys After a month on the dukan and a loss of 12.5lbs I am now stuck! Lol I'm considering doing something different ie this diet. Is it as simple as one day low calories and the next day more calories (as calculated on the website) or is there more to it?

I normally go for something really unadventorous like a ham salad with balsamic vinegar

Now on day 8 of my plateau. I am fed up! Have decided to give myself a day off the dukan - and then I'm going to re-start attack! Sounds crazy I know! But that's my master plan :0)

Oh and seafood sticks if I need a snack!

To be honest I'm not unhappy at the weight I've reached but those few more pounds would be a good buffer! I'll continue to plod on. I have posted my menu's on here before, but they are very boring and the only things I was worried about was my choice of yogurt and having a diet fizzy drink every...

Dukannotsofatty - anytime :0)

Teehee! They certainly do! Have been back on it today! X

Thanks everyone :0)

Oooppps! I'll continue... After 6 or 7 days with no weight loss. I ate half a snicker bar :0/ Bad times! Before this I have been a dukaneer since 2nd jan with no cheating whatsoever! Dammit!

Hi Guys It's confession time! Lol, after 6 or 7 days with no weight l

I'm a nurse who has specialised in anti-coagulation so I work with patients who have funny heart rythmns, have had dvt's or pe's Use to be a health visitor too :0)

I tend to have it with scrambled eggs because I love them!

Thanks guys - will stick to my alternate days PV/PP and continue on a diet Pepsi every other day :0) think I'm gonna have to switch to natural yogurt though and add sweetener :0/

Thankyou. The muller yogurts are 120g so not very big but maybe they are stalling me. Still not lost anymore and it's annoying! Lol I'm not that keen on the natural yogurt. I was wondering if adding sweetener and some vanilla flavouring would work? I am still exercising but probably only 3-4...

Hi - this sounds delicious! Can anyone tell me how much fromage frais to use? It also says further down the recipe to remove foil? Does it need covering in foil in the oven? And one final question, do you guys re-heat it or eat it cold? Thanks

That's quite a good idea actually! I'd not thought about swapping my ratio around. I tend to do PVx1 day then PPx1 day. I'm quite new to this myself - only about a month. Desperately want to reach my target for 22nd feb as I'm off to Cuba!

That's great thanks. I have probably been having a diet fizzy drink every other day. Had stopped them altogether but then re-introduced them because I was bored! I'm wondering if this is contributing to my plateau.

That's great thanks! It looks like your yogurts have a similar nutritional value to the ones I eat so that makes me feel a little better! Haven't updated my status but am now -12.5lbs! Only 5lbs to go but it's obviously resisting coming off! You're doing really well too :0) keep going :0) Do...

Thanks Loopy! I've plateaued at the mo. bit annoying! Can you tell me what yogurts you eat?

Clover - get the trimmings from the supermarket! 90p!

Hi Joanne This is now day 5 with no loss. It's the longest I've ever gone. What are your thoughts on my choice of yogurt?

Sorry that's meant to say "apply"

Hi Loopy - does this guide apy to dukan or is it just a general guide? X

Hi Guys - I plateaued after my first 5.5lbs loss, and have now plateaued after losing 12.5lbs In total. I am rigidly sticking to the diet. I am having a can of diet coke every other day and one fat free Greek muller yogurt a day - this contains less than 10g carbs - is this an acceptable level...

Hi, I eat it maybe 5 days out of 7. No problems

Just keep going! It will get easier and start to make more sense. I have had great support on here (thanks guys!) I'm down from 10st 5.5lbs to 9st 7lbs since Jan 2nd! So you CAN do it :0)

Thanks guys :0)

Thank you :0)

No sweets or gum. Will try keeping a diary although it won't be very exciting as I'm mainly eating the same foods! I'm very boring! Lol. Have realised I started omeprazole at the same as starting the dukan. Apparently this can cause upset tummy so maybe need to see my doctor again :0/

Hi guys Really into this diet now! Have lost 9lbs! However..... About once a week I have diarrohea. This has happened from the beginning. I don't know why but when it happens I feel washed out afterwards and off my food. I'm unsure of what to do. Don't want to stop the diet as I enjoy and I...

Stick with it Diet girl :0) Have you already completed your attack phase? and how far into your cruise are you? I had this same problem but was advised that weight loss in the cruise often shows up in week two. This was the case for me and i'm now 8lbs down :0) Good luck xx

Hi guys - people keep referring to "tolerated foods" but I don't understand what this means? Can someone enlighten me? Lol Thank you x

Thanks for your help guys - have since lost another pound. I'd be happy at a pound a week! Fingers crossed!

Thanks sididd - have bought tesco fat free Greek natural will start on that once others have run out :0)

Thank you! I am clinging to that hope! Lol have swapped my muller Greek style fat free yogurts to tesco fat free Greek yogurt now to try and help as this has less carbs and probably less sugar as its plain :0)

The yogurts I eat are the Muller Greek Style Fat Free - hope that's ok??

Today's meals: Brekky: oatbran porridge Fat free yogurt Lunch: crab sticks and ham Tea: chicken breast stuffed with quark, broccoli and mangetout. Plus lots of water!

Hi Trudy Thanks for that. Haven't had the gammon before but it was all I could find on the pub menu that I thought was allowed. Will avoid that in future. If I didn't have the crab sticks and salmon that would mean the only meat I'd have is chicken and ham. I have had mackerel occasionally but...

And thanks chinababe

Hi guys It's on sticky threads - daily menus page 277 hope it's in the right place!

Hey! Yeah I started a diary yesterday so it's on there. Not very exciting though! Let me know what you think :0) thank u xx

Ok guys Day 7 of cruise - still no loss since attack phase. Have not cheated once. This is the only diet I have ever done where I've stuck to it completely. Am proud of my self in that respect. Have upped my excercise and been pounding on the treadmill but still no joy! A pound would do.... I'm...

That's meant to say diet COKES! Lol

Hi guys I'm posting my food each day as my weight has stuck and I'm hoping for advice! Brekky: oatbran porridge Fat free yogurt Four seafood sticks Lunch: scrambled eggs and Smoked salmon Dinner: Gammon and 2 eggs (I don't normally...

Thank you x

P.s you got your BMI down - well done :0)

Thank you! I will eat more eggs as I love them! Can you do a food diary on here or do I just add my food to this thread each day?

I have just seen that some people are having 4-5 eggs a day? I thought we were only allowed 2? Or is that just in the attack phase?

Hey! I have a vibroplate. I bought one called Re-viber plus. I haven't seen massive results though personally - and doing the excercises on it is HARD! Guess that's the idea. You can't just stand on it if you want results. My mum in law went to a place that had flabelos vibroplates and she...

Hi guys Advice still needed! Lol I lost 4lbs in attack. Day six of cruise and nothing is budging. I've not eaten anything I shouldn't so I'm stumped. The only thing I don't always do is excercise everyday because I sometimes work very long days. Opinions please....

Hi :o) I'm on day five of cruise. I'm 4lbs down from starting so I'm pleased but wanted to check I was doing everything right. I forgot to add that I usually have two small fat free yogurts each day too.

Hi guys - me again. I just need some advice really. Since my attack phase my weight has plateaued. I want to check I'm doing the diet correctly. So on my protein days I'm eating as much of the allowed meats, cottage cheese as I want. I'm also having 2eggs and 2tablespoons of oatbran with skimmed...

Thank god! Now I'll survive work a little better :0)

Oopppps that's meant to say DRINKs not STINKS! Haha!

Thanks guys. Where do I stand with coffee? If its with skimmed milk and sweeteners can I have it? I read you can only have stinks with 1 cal in them but I'm not sure how many are in coffee? X

Thanks for the encouragement guys! You have all done so well too :0) don't get on here much - I'm extremely over worked! Lol. Now 4lbs down and in the cruise phase! Would have been so easy to stay in the attack phase - the results were fab and I loved the food!

Hi guys it's my first day in the cruise phase. The only extra I added to my food was a small amount of lettuce and about 4 cherry tomatoes for my lunch (aswell as usual chicken and cottage cheese). And then veg added to my tea was about 4 Brussels and a small handful of mangetout. Is this ok...

Weighed in yesterday -10st 2.5lbs :0)

Thankyou
