Hi, had a quick look and only thing that jumped out was the balsamic dressing - some people can have issues with that, was the turkey from a packet? Did it have sugar/dextrose in it? Are you feeling thirsty? I was absolutely guzzling water the first few days, flushes everything out.
I am sure you will have a lovely loss in the next day or two, stick with it!!
Sending lots of luck to you!!

I can if I think I can.

Couteaux, this is the information from the turkey, if anything it may be high in salt?!
The balsamic dressing was one from the Dukan recipe book but will avoid it if necessary. Can just have plain balsamic as I'm quite addicted!

Today (Monday) PV
Brekkie: porridge and 1 x coffee
Lunch: tuna & mackerel paté, celery sticks, red pepper, 1 x extra light laughing cow, 3 x crab sticks, fat free vanilla yog + 1l water
Tea: extra lean mince mixed with onions and mushrooms, small portion of ratatouille, green beans, asparagus and poached egg

I know it sounds like loads but I promise I am just having a little bit of lots of things - the more varied the less likely I am to fall off the wagon!

I know from another post that your "scones" are "Dukan muffins" (before newbies start baking proper scones!!!).
Options drinks aren't suitable for this diet (in my opinion). Far too high in carbs... Calories in Options*, Mint Drink | Nutrition Facts and Information
What is peperonata? You say "PV" but I can't see veg at lunch!

I'm not picking on your honest! Toffee yogs are no longer ok (but if you're losing well, fine!). WW creme fraiche is a tolerated, as it's nearly 3% fat, so no more than 30g per day and be aware that it could cause a stall at some point... As for bacon, the jury is out on that one.
So nothing is "wrong", just some things highlighted should you stall...

No sugar perhaps... but no fruit? It's the first time I've seen this in a menu, and I could be wrong, but please check the label!
I really must be losing my marbles as I could have sworn I posted this last night. Maybe some forces were at work as I carried on munching after I had planned to post!
Anyway here's the last two chaotic days.
Sunday PP:
B: tea (2 regular then redbush) with skim milk
dregs of Greek yogurt pot with a little sweetener (so we could pack to come home)
L: Pack M&S chilli chicken (only noticed trace of sugar way down the list when I'd scarfed them all!)
S: half ramekin of fromage frais/yogurt/sprinkle blackberry jelly mix.
D: rump steak, 1/2tsp mustard.
Porridge 2tbsp oatbran, skim milk, 1/2tsp caramel da vinci syrup.
whole ramekin of fromage frais/yogurt/sprinkle blackberry jelly mix.
Diet coke, diet caffeine free coke and fizzy water, more redbush tea but might have been low with hospital visiting.
½ fruit and fibre thingy. Maybe two sugar free ricola lozenges & few sticks chewing gum.
v late s: sliced chicken dipped in horseradish/yogurt mix.
Monday PP:
had to trawl back to hospital from home as had all gone horribly wrong! 4 hrs there about 3 back with traffic so diet (and me) a bit scrambled:
B: tea (2 regular then redbush) with skim milk
L: 2 hard boiled eggs (from canteen in desperation)
S: lg pot fromage frais/yogurt/sprinkle blackberry jelly mix.
D: (sort of - more like a standing snack) pack Tesco chicken tikka bits (didn't read package - don't want to know if there an 'ose' in it!)
later: Porridge 2tbsp oatbran, skim milk, 1/2tsp caramel da vinci syrup.
S: lrg pot fromage frais/yogurt/sprinkle blackberry jelly mix.
Diet coke, diet caffeine free coke and fizzy water, real tea. Definitely low on fluid.
1 fruit and fibre thingy. Maybe two sugar free ricola lozenges & few sticks chewing gum.
Now cruising for food again.
unimaginative sliced chicken and yogurt/horseradish dip seems preferable to pickled eggs at this time of night!
Oh dear - ended up going for a second round of porridge. Still - better than the chocolate I would normally have turned to after the last few days.

Thanks, Joanne. The Options is my fallback when I'm craving chocolate but I'm cutting right back on it. Honest.
Peperonata is an Italian veggie stew of peppers, tomatoes & onions. I'll stick a recipe up on the recipes thread. It's a terrific 'base recipe' for tweaking by adding stuff.
Toffee isn't allowed anymore?
I Okay then. Deep breath. I ate the last one this morning before reading this. Won't buy any more. :sigh:WW creme fraiche - just used two teaspoons of it on the salmon. I'll bear it in mind.
WW bacon is made from the loin medallions, really well trimmed. TBH, it's leaner than most steak so I'm not personally concerned on that front. I did try the turkey bacon. Vile, vile stuff. Not even the cat would eat it.
All input gratefully received. Pick away!

If you're desperate for a chocolate drink, you'd be better using a teaspoon the lowest fat cocoa powder you can find with some (watered down!) skimmed milk if you must!
