saw this today to mmmm
Five celebrity diets to avoid in 2011

the press will always come out with garbage, won't they?
whilst some of those diets are ridiculous, there is nothing wrong with dukan and it's very similar to "cutting" diets used all the time by body builders(hate that phrase, but people cutting fat whilst wanting to hold onto lean muscle). a friend of mine who is a weight lifter and qualified personal trainer regularly follows a dukan style diet (with extra carbs before mamouth work outs as she depletes them during the workout) and she is in incredible shape and good health.

there's a big difference between getting all your minerals and vits but not eating starchy carbs, and living off baby food or sugary water
if any low calorie diet is going to help you cling on to your muscle, it's dukan!

 

[scrumper]

yaeh silly ...i know alot of people who cant eat carbs , not seen them flake out ...diet works for me so thats all im worried about

[m-mouse]

Good attitude for Xmas!!! Now, on to important matters - I hahve the whole family coming over on Monday and I am toying with the idea of your Baileys trifle. What goes in it?

 

[scrumper]

morning hun will dig out recipie but to be honest i didnt follow it that much
i got a chocolate swiss roll , cut it up put it in the bottom of the bowl put a couple of tablespoons baileys on it ..... then i put a small tin of mandrin oranges but the recipie says raspberrys,so your choice....
then got a tub of ready made custard and mixed in 2or 3 table spoons baileys and 1/2 pint whipped double cream spooned on top , put in freezer for 45 mins take out and put 1/2 pint whipped cream on top...added crushed chocolate flake ,very simple and you can add more baileys if you want !!!!

 

[m-mouse]

Oh yum, that's enough for me to work with! I was hoping it was chocolate based! Thanks

 

[scrumper]

ok i crumbled and weighed this morning , now i think totm may be due in the next week so im probably hanging onto water so loss maybe stalled this next week , but after the xmas blow out im back to 159 which is 4 lb and im not going to get upset about it ..
Exercise starts this week as i need to train for this walk in march so will need to do a few miles a day as soon as the kids go back to school , the dog will be happy
so in going to carry on with attack this week and see how we go going to up the water intake too.....
i think the extra 4lb should take 3 weeks max to go and the food intake may have tricked my body to lose more we never can tell

 

[scrumper]

no probs hun its quick and easy and tastes yum and you can tweak it at will

 

[scrumper]

mmm food today !!!!
B egg on dukan toast
L chicken legs
D beef kebabs (just beef )

 

[m-mouse]

I'm sure that 4 lbs is just water and it will be gone after your 5 days of attack. I think that where our mindsets have changed is that we immediately think about losing the gain (this is the case for me anyway) rather than blindly letting it pile on and on, thinking 'I will start the diet next week' - and then before you know it you have put on a couple of stones.

 

[scrumper]

yep ive that feeling too . I was so glad to go back to the structured eating in my life , which is a major mind shift for me !!! I could still down a box of chocs but the enjoyment wouldnt be the same anymore , i get more pleasure from watching the scales drop

Afternoon Tan

Well done on the 4lb gain....pre-dukan...xmas would EASILY have added up to a 7-8lb gain for me.....

From what you've said I think it's amazing how our mindsets have changed.... we're similar in as much as I would've previously thought

"stuff it....off the wagon big-style...sort in in the new year"..... resolution style....which would last all of a few days

This year we're none of us avoiding our demons....acting very responsibly I'm lovin' it...

Dukan rules (well low-carb does )

Hope your 8 mile walk went well.... you're inspiring me....that's my next step.... upping the exercise!!

Noticed some nasty stretchmarks yesterday <sigh> life's a biatch sometimes isn't it?

but still...we're all stones lighter and as long as we look nice in our clothes and feel more confident as a result.......the world is our oyster

big hugs hun xxx
