Dukan Diet Support Thread!

Thanks Panda!!

I am currently 11 stone 11lb ..... I want to get to 9st 5lb (what I was before my daughter!!) before my wedding on October 15th 2011!!

My first goal is to loose the stone that has slowly crept on over the last year or so. I have lots of jeans etc. that I can't get into at the moment and would love to re-discover my existing wardrobe! Think this may call for an additional ticker...

I don't really know what I'm doing yet as I only ordered my book yesterday. I did have 2 fat free activias for breakfast, and have bought chicken drumsticks for lunch. Am I right in thinking that I can't eat the skin though?!

Ah boo! That's the best part ☹️

?

Thanks for setting up the thread Panda!

I am yet to weigh myself, going to town at three ish to get my new digital scales so I will nervously update later.

However, I do know that I would like to get down to 10st 7lb.

Fab, there are quite a few of us starting the diet together! Most important girls, don't forget to pop to Tescos to get your Oatbran - it's in the cereals section. It really helps with the weight loss ?

Well,

I'm back!

I weighed myself.

I'm 12st 12lb....the biggest I have EVER been!! ?

I ONLY HAVE 12 WEEKS TO GET INTO MY DRESS!!!!! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

I am starting the diet friday.

Hi, can you ladies please tell me where I can find the information for this diet? Thanks EmX

You can buy the Dukan diet books on amazon. There is also a facebook group & a dukan diet website which both offer loads of advise. You don't have to subscribe to the website to be able to get a lot of info from it.

What can I have for lunch ladies? Needs to be something I can quickly pop into Sainsburys for, with no cooking involved (I'm at work). I'm guessing prawns in cocktail sauce is out?! Meat and fish without sauce will be hard!

Nice big pot of fat free natural yoghurt for starters ? Predone chargrilled chicken?

Like the idea of the pre cooked chargrilled chicken. I have been having 2 yoghurts during the morning for breakfast so probably won't want the natural yoghurt! Is there anything I can put with the prawns to jazz them up?

Ili you can make a low fat yoghurt based dressing to go with prawns - try yoghurt with a dash or lemon juice & chopped chives ?

I might try that, thanks.

?

Has anyone created a menu plan yet? x

Those are fab ideas Starstruck! I can tell you are going to do will on the Dukan diet ?

? sounds fab Starstruck!

For breakfast have you considered oatbran porridge? Could be flavoured with vanilla or cinnammon. ?

Can i join in too, desperate to lose a stone and a half, but so difficult trying to juggle menus with 3 kids, but hubby wants to loose weight too, our biggest downfall is wine, so cutting that out is going to be really hard, esp as i use it as a form of pain relief!!

found this with some great menus

https://www.mydukandiet.com/recipes/

have ordered the book too

2011 is going to be such a great positive year.....time to get myself sorted me thinks xx

I've just done a quick google for some reciepes and i'm honestly hungry now. lol

Came across this site

https://www.mydukandiet.com/recipes/

not sure if theyre receipes that are in the books (my books havent arrived yet) but thought i would share.

Have to say from what limited research ive done...this seems like my kind of diet!! Has anyone joined the website - too pricey for my liking. Is this diet do able without committing to £114 in subscription fees??

I'm off to buy the books from Amazon. Put 2 stone on in the past year and feeling pretty miserable about it, need to stop moaning and do something about it.

Are you all excerising in addition? that's my downfall!!

?

How was your first day Starstruck?

I'm in a bit of pickle. . .

I'm breastfeeding and the advice I've been given both my the HV and the website is that I can't do it.

I don't know what to do...it's a bit silly and selfish to stop BFing in order to diet isn't it ?

x

No HV will approve of a BF mum dieting unfortunately. Feeding your baby takes a lot out of your body & if you start dieting it may affect the quality of milk you produce or make you produce less milk. The best thing you can do is wait until you are ready to stop BFing & then start on your diet ☹️

How have you managed today Starstuck? What were the meat crisps like?

Starstruck . we're starting monday

I was doing really well until dinner! Especially considering I don't yet have the book. I caved and shared a pizza with my OH. In my defence, it was only half a pizza, but I may have had a glass of wine to wash it down!!! ?

I think I may do better when I have the book!

This makes it incredibly hard. He is so slim though (he's a P.E. teacher), so he doesn't need to diet!

Ah, but this is where the Support Thread comes in ? When I restart the diet in January I will also be on it on my own as OH needs to lose a stone but has his own weird diet which I won't follow. You need to be quite self disciplined to stick to the diet on your own which is why I'm not re-starting it until January 1st lol! If you feel you're about to have a wobble just hop on here & we'll do what we can to support you ?

Starstruck, sounds like you are adjusting well to the diet so far!

Hiya ladys can i come in?

I have been reading about this diet for a bit now and at 1st i thort i was to hard but after reading more about it iam going to give it a go as it seems a really good way to move the lbs.

oat bran pancakes with yog

meatballs for lunch

chicken with 0.01% fat cheese and ham

Starstruck you are doing brill and make it seem so easy how was your 2nd day?

I'm very impressed ladies! I'm going to start this tomorrow, as like Ili, I've got to lose the weight that's crept on and keeps me out of my jeans!

I'm going to steal the recipe ideas you have added in, thank you! May I ask how you're making your curry sauce? It sounds yummy!

Anyone else come across any tasty ideas?

Thanks!

Just about to run off to the supermarket so that's so useful, thank you! x

Starstruck thats brilliant 4lbs ? already

tongiht is my last norm eating night, having said that its a chinese for my sons birthday, so we'll eat loads!!!

Took a while to find the oatbran, looks like this, just to help so you know what you're looking for.

Even the staff couldn't tell us where it was...

menu for tomorrow, yoghurt and oat bran - brilliant idea starstruck, wouldn't have thought of combining the two

prawns and cottage cheese for lunch

Chicken curry with oat pancakes for tea

Does that sound ok?
