Not a bad site at all!
I've heard the Walden Farm sauces on there are okay but a bit pricey, especially if you buy more than one.

yes but one thing this diet does teach us is moderation is the key so they will last (unlike before i went dukan i would smother my food in it)

Most definitely
I'm craving some chip shop chips though. Will have to make some alternatives when I finally make the pizza.

Update: The noodles hold the flavour well but are very rubbery in texture.
Maybe they are nicer when fresh out the pan (as I made them last night?).
I feel really full and I only had 100g with Tuna.
I can get used to it but it defo wont be to everyone's liking

Oh dear, well that was a failure! Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting an absolute spaghetti / pasta replica but that was just a total let down. The only likeness was that it was long strings in appearance.
I am generally quite good at mind over matter when it comes to teaching myself to like certain foods it it would be beneficial but I can't see that I am ever going to convince myself on this one...it was like eating slimey, wet, jellied tentacles.
To give them some flavour I mixed the bolognese into it and let it stand for a while to let the flavours infuse but that seemed impossible on account of the noodles being mostly water content so already completely saturated.
Initially I thought it must have been the way I prepared them maybe going a little wrong but I googled it and id all which other consumers seemingly had done.
I just don't think this one is for me but at least I know I gave it go

Hi I agree the noodles are their own texture, defo not pasta or noodles, but I did like them in a stir fry with veg n chicken, I did the soaking in boiled water for 5 after rinsing well, then stir fried them they bulked it out but werent any better than having grated cauli for rice. I wont be rushing to have them again too muc though, liek u I gave them a go but am happy with chicken and veg! Good to know I wasnt the only one who got excited over oreos!! I have been having (esp totm) sugar free werthers' not as nice as full sugar ones but hit the spot !
Have a great dukan week

As I said to Joodle, I think mine were rubbery as I cooked them at night and didn't eat them until the next day (lunch).
I might try chopping them up to make 'rice' and have it with some chicken and veg tonight.

they sound awful from what everyone on here is saying, dont get me wrong i'm up for trying anything once but i dont think im going to bother with these as i havent heard form anyone saying they are nice or clear instructions on preperation fo rthem so thats a no no for me.
On a brighter note hows the wieght loss going? i'm weighing tomorrow so will post on my diary fingers crossed xxx

Charly, I've just noticed you cracked that next stone zone! Congratulations!!!!
I had a gain which although it was anticipated it was still a bitter pill. I have been 100% on it this week so far and have entered full hibernation mode other than going to the gym as I am determined to get this excess gone before my holidays. I have 2 months to go and I am feeling really positive which is really bizarre for me as normally at this point I adopt the 'no time to save me now' mentality.
I am trying the 5/5 cruise phase for the next few weeks to see if I find that any easier to fit lifestyle - how are you getting along?
Kirsty, since you posted about Werthers, I had to go and get some for myself and they have been a lifesaver! I have such a sweet tooth and they have sorted me right out so thank you! :thankyou:
I have my last packet of jellied noodles tonight and just wondered if any of you who have tried them, have discovered any kind of ingenious ways of making them palatable? Your tips will be gratefully accepted :sign0137:

I've only had them stir-fried and I'm forcing myself to get used to the texture as they're a life-saver
Try chopping them up to make 'rice'. You could have it with some Dukan Diet Coke Chicken?

I'm good thanks for asking, just trying to resist temptation whilst staying at my grandads without any good foods but I'm determined I'm going to manage it! How's it going with you? Have you got past the tough couple of days you were having?
30 day shred? I do actually have the DVD and I completed it last year...Jillian is awesome! I would love to get back to it but currently too manic with work, college, driving lessons and caring for a poorly grandad etc... So just trying to fit in as many lunch gym sessions as possible to remain active.
Must soldier on
