semi milk
mince(to make meat balls n burgers)

there loads of info on her also check out the daily menus for meal ideas .The recipe thread is great if you run out of ideas of what to do with meat
prawns are good
tinned salmon
eggs
dont forget you must have the oatbran everyday (health food shop best but ithink most supermarkets do it unless you live near the one i do lol)
dont forget you are allowed sugar free jelly

Hi Sue
I find my biggest thing to have is LOTS of seasonings, They help alot.
And skim milk powder, I love this stuff and its great to make fluffy pancakes, I made chocolate ones last night that actually tasted like chocolate!!!! Yeah me

Good luck
xxxxxxxx

Hi and welcome! I wanted to get to a healthy weight for my 40th too (and managed) so best of luck, there's lot of support on here, everyone is great.

Don't think gammon or bacon are allowed? Pork certainly isn't until conso (although I found low-fat and had some very occasionally - tut). Also make sure your mince is low-fat (5%).

Eggs - the most versatile thing for me - 2 yolks per day but unlimited whites.

Not more than 1 kilo of dairy per day (and 250 ml of skimmed - not semi-skimmed - milk max to be included in the 1 kilo).


Crab sticks - good to nibble on - no more than 8 per day.

Rhubarb - may save you from awkward transit issues and nice to have some fruit too - I wouldn't be without it.

Yogurt and fromage frais are good for making all kinds of sauces, so you can experiment to stop things becoming boring.

Have a read through the recipe thread too, lots of good ideas on there.

Good luck!

Put oatbran on that list(its in barrets buy one get one half off offer) and add some low fat yogurt or fromage frais to use for sauces.

Dairy is unlimeted during attack.

Have you been on the dukan site to calculate your true weight and find how many days attack?

Hi, Sue!

Instead of normal bacon, try turkey bacon. It's much better than I thought it would be and makes a decent substitute if you're a bacon fan like me.
