Attack Dukan do it!

[GKdB]

Heya,

I briefly introduced myself yesterday but Im thinking I might start a proper diary to help me along the way. I can be a tad flakey with blogs etc but Ill try to keep up to date!

So my Mum and I started Dukan yesterday, slight mix up and we had fat free yoghurt but with the fruit in them... So Im thinking today is the OFFICIAL start day I don't know. Maybe it won't have hurt as much as we think...?! Will do an extra Attack day to make up!

Been having a look at recipes and things look inspiring! Not as restricted as I first thought. Great

Anyway, been having chicken and eggs mainly but will be looking for ideas on here and Dukan websites.

Hope to stay motivated! All your stories are inspirational!

See you for now!

Ok so had a load of chicken and had steak tonight with a tad of French mustard to give it a boost.

I keep getting confused with bits and bobs from reading the book then on here but I think Im getting the hang of it - like it says we can have pickled onions so I had a couple this afternoon then I just read a min ago that you should only use them in flavouring and not eat them... Argh! So if Im not sure Ill just avoid 'til I know whats what. So following the sample menu roughly as much as I can, otherwise just having chicken and eggs. BUT then it says we can have as many eggs as we want but then it also says no more than 4 yolks a week... :sigh:

Ill figure it out Cant wait to be a skinny mini!! Roll on September!

A couple of pickled onions is fine, as is a couple of gherkins - enjoy your pickle fix!!

I have never restricted my egg quantities (neither have loads of the girls on here), so if you need more then I say go for it.

To my mind, eggs are the ultimate Dukan portable snack and I would have fallen off the wagon long before now without them.

Well done

Thanks for the reassurance! I love having a biled egg for a quick snack so I'm very happy to hear that

Had the guts to weigh myself properly today and am 2lb lighter than I thought so that's good. Not a big difference but better than what I thought!

Hi GKdB,

Welcome to the life of Dukan lol!

Don't worry about the minor slip-ups, you will get the grasp of it eventually.

www.mydukandiet.com has a few recipes you can try.

Good luck x

Do you know what I could use as substitutes for fromage frais and also quark? Cant find them in our supermarket - and it's the only place to go cos the island I live on is TINY! Lol!

The only other option is cottage cheese but, it's not to everyone's liking lol!

Hmmm.... I have bought some but Im not really looking forward to it! Its just car I wanted to make some of the oat bran bits and bobs but looks like it will be with 0% and sweeteners only!

I haven't really heard of anyone using anything else until they reach cruise.

I'm sure fat-free mozarella and light cheeses like babybel and laughing become an option (in very small portions).
