A lot of people do 1/1 and others like me do their own pattern to suit their own lifestyle. I tend to do M,T PV
W,T PP
F PV
S,S PP

Most of us have found whatever rhythm suits our lifestyle, but I should warn you that Scrumper's 5PP / 2PL could well cause a slow up in errrr (let's say) transition... which is an issue for several of us when the PP days accumulate.

I find alternating PP and PL helps avoid boredom (and stops veggies/salad stuffs going off...). But I admit to preferring:

Mon, Tues - PP
Wed - PV
Thurs, Fri - PP
Sat, Sun - PV

I do alternate days apart from 2 PP days in a row the last 2 days before weigh-in.

(Unless I've had a non-Dukan-friendly dinner at a friend's in which case I rejig the PP days to make up for it. Also with my husband starting this week, I'm doing 3 PP days while he does Attack, makes it easier for us both as he's eating the same as me!)

i was doing mon-thurs pp and fri-sun PV as i work all week and was finding it easier to do PP at work

 

[scrumper]

yep mine is not good for transit at all so your warned but it helps me in the headspace dept

 

[Bubblemum]

I havent had any probs in that dept lol. I find lots of water and a nice walk before breakfast helps.

I do PP Monday to Thursday then PV Friday, Sat ,Sun, just fits in better eating veg at weekends/ family meals, meals out are always at weekends, so at least I can fill my plate with meat & veg
