Attack UK Dukan Followers....

[skinnyminnycow]

Hey All.
I have studied the book, and I am well on board to start this diet. I am going to buy all my protein for my attack phase tomorrow.

Just 2 questions if anyone could give me help?

1. - Holland and Barrett/Julian Graves Oat Bran - Is is ok to eat this oat bran? Or anyone suggest where to get oatbran in the UK?
2. Aspartame to sweeten the oatbran/tea. I cannot find this anywhere. Where do the UK people get this from?
3. ANY other suggestions for new starters?

Thanks for your help

1. - Holland and Barrett/Julian Graves Oat Bran -

This is fine - as long as it is oatbran rather than oatmeal ot oatgerm

2. Aspartame to sweeten the oatbran/tea.

You will find it under the brandname "canderel". "Splenda" is another type of sweetener which you can use.

I'm a UKer who hasn't started yet (starting this Friday). I figure oatbran is oatbran, but I could be wrong; if I can't find oatbran in one of the supermarkets (placing an online order tomorrow), I'll be heading for H&B. I have to be really careful with aspartame etc as I have Graves' disease so I'm planning on a touch of Splenda for the rare occasions when I need to sweeten something. I remember Splenda from when I did Atkins years ago and it was palatable. Good luck

Thanks Atropos. The Oatbran is Oatbran not oatgerm but I know he was quite specific about the texture and how it was rolled?!

Holland and Barrett - Oat Bran

Aaaah Splenda. Didnt realise that was just aspartame! Thanks

Aaaah Splenda. Didnt realise that was just aspartame! Thanks

Splenda is Sucralose, an alternative sweetener that wasn't available in Europe when the book was first written - it is however just as effective as aspartame.

And welcome!

I bought the Mornflake oatbran from Morrisons. It was in the cereal section next to the porridge

I always get my oat beam in morrisons and like th others said I used canderel or splenda (prefer splenda)
