Hi everyone, I've decided to start a diary about my attempt to do a vegetarian version of the Dukan diet!
I've been overweight most of my life. As a child I could eat whatever I wanted but ballooned as soon as I hit puberty and at one point weighed about 15 stone. I lost a lot of weight through starvation diets (300 calories a day!) in my early 20s, got down to 10 stone and then went back up again a couple of times.
Since then I've got a much healthier relationship with food and have lost weight over the last 4 years or so by eating sensibly and exercising lots. I love to run and compete in lots of 5k and 10k races.
I've been a stable 10 stone 2 lbs for the last 18 months but my stomach is starting to turn to flab as I approach 30, and I've got lots of back fat etc which I'd love to get rid of.
Mr Dukan says that my true weight is 9 stone 2lbs so thats what I'm aiming for.
Today is my first day of Attack.
I have eaten:
Breakfast: Oatbran porridge and a cup of tea
Lunch: Muller Light, Total 0% yoghurt and a couple of spoons of low fat cottage cheese.
Dinner: 2 and a half veggie sausages and scrambled egg (I couldn't eat all of this cos I felt too full)
Have drunk lots of tea and don't feel hungry at all, hopefully tomorrow will be just as good!
