My Diet - Week 26 Consolidation

Well folks this is the last week I am on the consolidation phase of the Dukan Diet. After this week I move on to the Stabilisation Phase, which basically is eat what you like (except have one pure protein day a week).

My weight has pretty much stabilised around 8 stone 7 pounds which is exactly where I wanted to be. My OH is still on the Cruise Phase but has not been strict with himself lately and so has not lost anything for a while, on the plus side he hasn't gained anything either. He still would like to lose another half a stone but thinks that will be enough weight loss for him (Dukan recomends he should lose another stone). I have to say he's done very well & looking so much better for it and to be honest I don't think he really needs to lose anymore weight, no matter what Dr. Dukan says, but I understand his need to lose another 7lbs so we'll keep plodding on with Cruise for a bit longer with him.

My typical 1 Pure Protein day a week has tended to be:

Breakfast: Oat Bran Pancake with natural yoghurt
Lunch: Bacon & Eggs
Dinner: Chicken Curry (no rice obviously)

I have been trying to have the PP day every Monday, as I can use up left over chicken from a Sunday roast, although some weeks I have changed the day (apparantly not recommended by Dr. Dukan, but what the heck!).

Now it's time to start living (well ... eating) normally again :)

 

My Diet - Consolidation Week 23

Its roughly a month since I last blogged about my diet.

I have not put on any weight, in fact I am still losing it, but I am nearly at the end of the consolidation phase so hopefully once I am on the Stabilisation Phase of this diet, where I can eat anything I like (except one day a week which will be pure protein), the weight will stop dropping and, as the phase suggests, stabilise.

My weight is now 8st 5.75lbs and although it has gone lower than I wanted (8st 7lbs) it's not much lower & I do have my twins birthday to celebrate next week so I'm sure I'll put a few pounds back on.

I have encouraged a few more people to try this diet recently and so far they are having success.

I hope the blogging of my Dukan Diet has inspired some of you to give it a go.

My Diet - Consolidation, Weeks 17,18 & 19

I haven't blogged for a few weeks as I thought it may be getting boring for you all to read, however ...

My weight at the moment fluctuates between 8 stone 10lbs & 8 stone 8lbs, so I am very happy.

I have been having celebration meals, or party cake or just a few treats, if not a meal but the pure protein day a week definitely brings my weight back to where it should be straight away.
I have about 50 more days on the colsolidation phase still to go before I can totally relax with foods and so long as I have that pure protein day once every week I should be ok.

I can still not tollerate much oat bran, I have managed to eat it in a pancake & muffins, it really seems to be when I have it in porridge that I have the most problems.

My OH is still losing weight, although he would lose it a bit quicker if he'd cut out the alcohol.

My daughter has started on the Attack phase and lost 9lbs in her 1st week, and so far 4lbs this week so she's doing really well too.

Some people have tried this diet and given up after a couple of days because they felt rough, probably carbohydate withdrawal, but I have to say if you want to give this diet a go and you do feel a bit rough, don't give up just move to the Cruise phase so that you can introduce vegetables every other day. AND don't forget to drink 1.5 litres of water a day.

You can do it.
