tuesday 21st august
hi guys i thought i would start a diary after years of trying various diets & not succeeding i thought i would try the dukan diet, i started last thursday & will weigh on thursday to see if i have lost weight, i didn't start the oatbran until today as i was unable to get it, so i am hoping it hasn't stalled my loss so todays food will be:
breakfast- oatbran porridge made with skimmed milk, 500ml water
lunch- salmon, 500ml water
dinner- chicken breast & 2 boiled eggs, 500ml water
evening- skimmed milk latte

right just read in a magazine that if you have sweetener in ur food it doesn't help towards stopping sugar cravings as ur body can't distinguish between sweetener & sugar is this fact or fiction answers on a postcard please lol am having my oatbran porridge without it this morning doesn't actually taste too bad but enjoy it more with sweetener. i am on day 8 of attack have decided to do 1 more day then start cruise on saturday will do 1/1 pp-pv, will i be hungrier when i start the veg days? as i have had no hunger pangs whatsoever while eating protein which i loved. hope someone knows the answers hope you all have a great day xx

Hi hun
I found veggies just made me fuller for longer so you should be fine hunger wise
I also still go over my skimmed milk as I love it and if doesn't seem to hurt me! Skinny lattes keep me going!!
Well done on your loss that's fabulous! Xx

I've also read that about sweeteners. I actually read an interesting article in a women's mag that says the reason people gain weight when using sweetener is they seem to think it gives them a green light to eat tons of food - since the sweetener is basically calorie-free. But the stuff we put it in is not calorie free. So if someone makes their favourite cake recipe and replaces the sugar with sweetener the mind thinks you can eat all you want and not gain weight. Essentially, it is causing us to eat more than we should. I'm guilty of using lots of sweetener - in my coffee, yoghurts, muffins - but I really can't say whether it makes me crave more sugary foods. I guess it doesn't if I haven't noticed

PV days don't make me hungrier when I only do 1, but I've been doing several in a row and I do seem to be hungrier now.

hi guys thanks for all ur replies x hopefully i won't feel hungry either i've got another question now lol i'm going on holiday on the 8th sept so will be on cruise stage how do u all cope eating out do u live on salads? sorry will probably have loads of questions through the stages xx

8 tablespoons oat bran
4 tbsp wheat bran
pinch salt
1 tub (250g) ff quark
5 tbsp sweetener
3 whole eggs plus 1 egg white
1 tsp baking powder
lately been adding a packet of yeast (7g)
your choice of flavourings

Beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Combine all other ingredients and fold in whites. Spoon into muffin form and bake at 190C about 15-20 min.
That said, I've become too lazy to beat the whites and so have been just mixing all of the above together in one whack. I guess I did something wrong once and they turned out weird, but now they're fine even without beating the whites.

THANKS TO CHEESEGIRL FOR THIS RECIPE IF I EAT TOO MANY I CAN BLAME YOU HA HA XX
