My Dukan journey :)

[ljwari]

Hello all,
For the past few weeks I have been following alot of what you all put on here and I have finally got it the bullet and start on my Dukan journey today .

So far so good for breakfast I have slices of turkey I had a pint of ice water and a coffee with skimmed milk (what do you think?)........ I haven't been yet managed to get and oat bran yet but will get some from the supermarket now I know where to look thanks to you guys on here.


For lunch I had seafood sticks and some more turkey slices with another pint of ice water.

Cravings the cookies my dd and oh bought last night when we were shopping, and I'm gutted with myself I left some of the things off my list but I'm going to go and get them tomorrow.

I went onto the official site to get all the workings out done and I need to stay on the attack phase for 6 day so fingers crossed I have the will power to last that long :-s not sure what to have for dinner tonight I was thinking of having grilled tuna steak with seasoning sprinkled onto (what do you think?)

OK going to get my head back in the book xx

Ljwari - welcome...

Not only do you NEED your oatbran for some fibre in your diet, but you also need to be eating far more protein at your current weight. Why not check out our FAQs, menu threads, recipe threads and I'd advise to write out menus for the week to come and do some cooking in batches...

Sliced chicken/turkey and crabsticks are great when you're in a hurry and desperate but you're going to get bored very quickly, I fear.

Good luck!

Thanks

Sorry i haven't updated this but everything is going really well ive lost 4.9lb do far snd i start cruise phase on Saturday , weighing myself daily znd seeing a loss is really motivating me appart from today i STS not to worry at least it's not a gain.

I posted another question in the threads about getting on my exercise bike so see what people say

Thank you all do much for your help and support x

Hi sorry i have been a bit pants with my diary, but just to let you know im now on cruise phase tomorrow so will weigh and measure tomorrow for the final results.

So far i have stayed at 210lb for 2 days now so not holding out for anymore of a loss in the morning i dont think the fact that i only managed to get my oat bran yesterday has helped but never mind a loss is better than a gain no matter how little it might be.

Ok here we go after talking to many of you last night and reading the replies i have to my problem of gaining back 6lb which i have lost 2 of thanks god over night i have taken all you comment on board and im going to work through them today so thank you all very much for the pointer .

As advised i really need to get my bum into gear and start filling in this diary so here goes

Menu for today :-

Ok a slight change to my menu for today i only had 1 steak and total 0% yog with a sprinkle of sugar free jelly

Hello there, and good little recipe you posted on the other page. It's often surprising what we can turn out with random ingredients.

At your current weight, you're still not (in my opinion) eating enough protein. Are you not hungry? Often people find their weight loss stalls when they don't eat enough. Can you throw a chicken in the oven sporadically and gnaw on a leg? I always advise adding in protein in the form of chicken / egg / lean beef / fish rather than dairy... so perhaps try adding in a starter if you can't eat two steaks in one sitting (which I couldn't!)

Good luck and keep posting!
