Chronic Recidivist
I decided to give this diary a go instead of posting my status into the general list.
So today is Day 5 of Attack. Yesterday I felt pretty horrible and thought about moving to Cruise early, but then I decided to modify my Attack plan a little bit an see if I could make it through the 7 days. Here's why --
I have a milk protein allergy. I have normally been able to tolerate cheeses and yoghurts, but milk, cream, ice cream, whipped cream, puddings, custards, etc. all make me very ill - my throat closes up, my nose clogs, and I start vomiting. Not fun. I read that many people with this situation still succeed on Dukan, in fact soemtimes their allergies resolve and no longer trouble them, so I thought I would try. For my attack phase I incorporated non-fat cottage cheese and non-fat plain greek yogurt. I didn't try to do the custards or cremes. I used the cottage cheese in my gallettes, which were very good. I didn't have any allergic reaction that I noticed so I thought this would be doable. However, looking at the last 4 days I am fairly certain that my body has been reacting to the milk proteins because they are so much higher a percentage of the food that I am eating than they are normally.
So yesterday I cut out all of the milk based items (except for the gallette which I had already eaten before coming to this decision) and I feel much better. Just eggs, oat bran, and splenda was not near as tasty, this morning though.
So I'm wondering - Is anyone else doing this non-dairy?
