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.

My Diet, Weeks15 & 16 - Consolidation Countdown
I didn't blog last week due to it being Christmas, but now the festive season is almost out of the way, let me tell you how I got on.
Last week (week 15), as you can imagine I had a few "Celebration Meals" Christmas Day being the worst for eating the wrong foods. However I tried not to go too mad. Christmas breakfast was 2 homemade chocolate chip cookies, dinner was a pate starter with 3 x small french toasts, the main meal was turkey, roast potatoes, sprouts, parsnip, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy & dessert was a chocolate cupcake, followed by a meringue roulade & later followed by a bit of chocolate log.
On Boxing Day I went to my sisters house for a buffet tea, but I deliberately ate my Dukan friendly shepherds pie before going and that pretty much did the trick. The only thing I ate at my sisters was a cherry bakewell & small chocolate mini roll.
On Thursday I had a protein only day and the rest of the week I mostly followed my Dukan consolidation plan.
All in all I don't think I did too bad.
Weight: 8st 12.5lbs (still under my goal weight of 8st 13lbs)
My OH has ok, but he does like his alcohol and that was too hard for him to resist over Christmas, however he had the same "P" only day as me and ended up this morning as the same weight as last Monday. Which considering he actually gained 1lb during the week, was pretty good. No loss but no gain.
Today being NYE will be tough, as it's usually the day I choose to do Protein only and so far I have but I know tonight things might change. I've cooked some sausage rolls which I will find tough to resist but I have got in a prawn platter as well which is protein, so my OH should be happy. Think the Pringles will be too much to resist, but once today & New Years Day are out of the way it will be full ahead with Dukan plan.
