Hi guys,
I've seen some heated debates on this subject on this board - specific to Dukan being an all or nothing diet commitment. But I've had some strange "allowances" on my daily instructions for the Cruise. Basically, it has said I could have a glass of red wine???
I'm "coached" and indicated on my daily report that I was "missing" wine as I didn't enjoy a glass of wine during my Friday evening in the sun with my chums. I was chuffed that I brought my own flavoured water & didn't partake in even a sip (woo-hoo!!!)
So, imagine my surprise when it said I could have a glass of wine today??
I know the following may cause varying discussion, but I do have a very social life and one for which wine and spirits are regularly involved. I've volunteered to drive for nearly every event for which is is feasible, but there are still events over the next 2.5 months in which I will have a glass or two of wine. I have no problem with adhering to the food restriction, but parties like my girlfriend's 40th only comes once and I'm going to join in the festivities with her! Plus, I'm a moderate drinker at best, so won't be tempted to go further than just a couple of glasses especially as I suspect just one will make me loopy!
I know the common mantra is "its only xx amount of time" but I have no problem slowing down my weight loss and getting to my goal a bit later if it means retaining some resemblance of a normal life this summer! I suspect because my food intake is spot-on and really think I'll make it through without any food slip-ups, 3 or 4 glasses of wine in a month will break everything.
I know there's diverse opinions on this subject, but I guess it was just the allowance from Dukan on today's summary that I can have wine, that prompted me to put this out there.
Thoughts???
