Gammon Steaks

[Hopeful Daisy]

Hiya...are we allowed these? I know they are a little salty but wasn't sure whether they'd be ok if we cut the fat off?

There is nothing "a little salty" about Gammon, it's just Thick cut wiltshire cure - Wiltshire cure is steeping the joint in brine for days on end! it has a high salt content and will ruin your weight loss, I reckon

Unfortunately no.

oh... ok. I am getting bored of ham, chicken etc. not a massive fan of fish either. Arghhhh...can I last on this diet.

You can have lean beef, lean pork too, you can make things like chilli and spag bol out of lean minced beef..... you have lots and lots of options!
Make your chicken into curries and creamy sauces. What fish or seafood can you eat or do you like?

 

[Hopeful Daisy]

I really don't like fish at all but now and then I manage a piece of salmon but can't say I enjoy it. I am going to make a shepherds pie tomorrow night with a celeriac and parsnip topping ...I think that will be nice

You say you're getting bored of ham (good!) and chicken, but have you tried some recipes from the book or our recipe section? Turkey mince also is a great alternative, and with the BBQ season upon us, marinating lean meats (not pork) is a great way of livening up the "lazy Dukan fodder".

Post some menus - let us know what you're eating?
