This is day one of Attack and my new affirmation to myself is ' Dukan Do It If You Really Try'. I have such high hopes of this eating plan. Mind you I had high hopes of Atkins and after 18 days after following the plan religiously I had not lost an ounce. Thus I start Dukan today weighing 23st 1 lb. Now that's a lot of blubber even on my large 5ft 10' frame. I now officially have a large frame having done Dukans fingers around your own wrist test.
Iended my time with Dr Atkins yesterday evening and decided to have a few carbs before the Attack phase. I had a bread roll with my burger and bought a small bar of Galaxy to consume with a cup of tea with skimmed milk. I discovered that I didn't really enjoy the bread, ate two cubes of my favourite choc and it did nothing for me. The rest is in the fridge waiting for someone else to eat later. I had a taste of my birthday cake ( a posh fruit one kept from January) and found the cake bit was okay and the icing way too sweet. I really, really enjoyed my cup of tea with milk in though and am having one now. So Atkins was not a complete waste of time. I do seem to have reduced my appetite, though it's still large but my pallete has changed completely!
Food so far/planned for today is:
B- 1 pint water, 1 cup tea with skimmed milk, 3 tablspoons cottage cheese, few ounces turkey ham
L- Squid and smoked salmon
D- Lean Steak followed by onken yoghurt sweetened with candarel vanilla
S- Boild eggs and more yoghurt if I need it.
And lots of walking
