Cottage Cheese - please help and hello!

[flowerpot25]

Hi there

Hello everyone, room for me?

Started this diet today but i think i may have messed up already

I noticed the cottage cheese I have is "low fat" and not "fat free"

so does this mean i cannot eat it? It's onion and chive too

Hello flowerpot... and welcome to Dukan.

I've still not received my English book, and I am working from the French original (on which it certainly would not be allowed in attack)... hoping one of the girls with the English book can help.

At any rate, eat no more until someone confirms!!

We have a menu thread if you'd like to post...

Welcome!

 

[flowerpot25]

Thanks for replying, I am at work so hope I can have some, gone hungry again hehe

 

[Maintainer]

oh cripes! I've always got spare food in the fridge at work here... want me to fire you over a chicken breast?!!

Basically, stock up on chicken, salmon, prawns, eggs, white fish, tuna, and you can't go far wrong!

 

[flowerpot25]

Ummmm I would love that!

I am going to order the book too

Another question, Mackerel fillets in the tin, is it just the plain one's we can have, so just in brine?

strictly speaking you should have very low fat or no fat but i have asked on the fb dukan board and people say this is ok. just dont eat the whole tub at once

Hey flower, just wanted to drop in and say good luck.

 

[Maintainer]

why did they put SUGAR in cottage cheese? beats me!

 

[cherl889]

Why do people eat cottage cheese, that beats me. Lol It looks horrible

 

[LVLLM]

i used to like it but now...yak

 

[Maintainer]

I used to like it on a crispbread with cucumber on the top... but on its own on Dukan? Nah!

 

[LVLLM]

you will be able to have crispbread in maintenance though?

 

[Maintainer]

By then, I'll have bread! hihi! (I don't miss chewing on cardboard!)

 

[LVLLM]

Lol true. Think im gonna have to read the book again before going on maintenance.

 

[Maintainer]

Particularly because there isn't a phase "Maintenance", haaaaa!

Phase 3 is Consolidation (where you add in certain things 6 days a week, always keeping 1 x PP...).

Phase 4 is Stabilisation (where, in the French book at least, very little guidance is given... except to keep the 1 x PP, increase oatbran, avoid stairs, and "off you go"... Lots have problems here because most of us have no idea what "normal eating" is... And so that's where some help often is required...

Before I started low carbing, I had stabilised for two or even three years, using the "80/20" system ("good 80% of the time, less so the other 20%)... while I lost weight before Dukan with "healthy eating", I had pretty much cut out bread etc., but I ate fruit and veg freely so had a fair few carbs going...

Now, alas, having messed around too much probably with my metabolism with real low carbing, and quitting smoking, I found that "95/5%" even resulted in an increase!! So that's something I need to work on... (because my 5% was HUGELY overeating)

 

[LVLLM]

omg thats what i meant!!! what i will probably do (when not if I get there) on stabilisation is low fat but 2 whole days off per week

 

[flowerpot25]

I will no doubt hate it soon enough
