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 - Day 7

This is the last day of the 1st week and there was no weight loss this morning. I have been expecting this as I understand the Attack Phase lasts for between 2 - 10 day and my weight loss has been decreasing. If there is no loss tomorrow then I will start the Cruise Phase. My OH's weight also remained the same as yesterday, which is good as keeping to the same phase in the diet makes life a lot simpler when it comes to not tempting the other with the wrong foods.

Weight: 10st 2.5lb

Weight loss: 0lbs

Total weight Lost: 5.5lbs

Todays menu

Breakfast: 2 Soft Boiled Eggs with Ham & Turkey Crispies, Cup of Tea

Lunch: Left over Chicken Breast (from yesterday), Cup of Tea

Dinner: Turkey Curry, plus Cinnamon Oat Bran Pancakes & Vanilla fat-free  yoghurt for dessert.

I was actually intending to have grilled salmon for dinner, but I forgot to get it out of the freezer, so decided to have the curry as the turkey breasts were already defrosted, and I have to say probably more filling.

I haven't gotten out for a walk today, which I knew I'd struggle with, hence adding extra minutes to my walks this week, but this was really due to it raining all day and not lack of inspiration. If I hadn't done enough minutes this week I would have gone out regardless of the weather.

My footie team lost today and it would be so easy to indulge in comfort food but I have not been tempted at all or felt cravings for anything ... yet.

I am determined to lose weight and reach my goal with this diet plan and determination is the key thing when losing weight no matter what plan you are following. I am hoping to have reached my goal by my birthday in November, lets see what happens.
