I officially start my Dukan Diet tomorrow and i am feeling a little nervous about it! I have had a ham omlette for dinner as my boyfriend is out and it is quick and easy and already kick starts my attack phase!
My stats are:
8st 12lbs
5ft 3
27 years old
I have brought the oatbran and tried it with fat free greek yogurt......i did not enjoy that so i will try fat free vanilla yogurt tomorrow morning!
I am not sure what i am going to eat tomorrow lunchtime at work, maybe i will get some hot chicken from the deli counter.
I have signed up for the Dukan Coaching so i am excited to receive my instruction email tomorrow to get me on my way.
I sure am going to miss Chocolate and Alcohol though!
Wish me luck!
Hi Dukan Diva - thanks for starting this blog, you have inspired me :)
ReplyDeleteYou and I are very much at the same stage of our Dukan programme - my first day was August 12 - First mistake! Day 1 being the weekend. We got invited at the last minute to some older friends house for dinner, and I was just so embarrassed to say what I was doing, I completely lapsed! Day 2 ! Great going me! I had to eat veges - honestly, it would just have been rude not to have. I already had to make a lame excuse about why I wasn't drinking wine. And I had a bite of dessert. I said lapsed badly, didn't I. So I am basically starting again today. I think that feeling you had, dizzy, is called ketosis, it's horrid. I had it yesterday - until I went to dinner - that fixed it LOL!! I did work out what my problem is though - I don't have much to lose - 5kgs, so I always think, I can cheat a bit or start later. So the lapse was actually a good thing, in that I realised that if I want to shift this weight, I need to start now and stick with it. It's only about 6 weeks.
Hi Barons Mum,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment, it's amazing for me to think that people are actually reading this and that it is helping in some way!
I think your comment is so right about the fact that you don't have much to lose so you kind of think things will slip through the net. I have pretty much 11lbs to lose too. I was 8st 12lbs and my target weight is 8st 2lbs. I have weighed myself today after 2 days on attack and i am down to 8st 6lbs, i can hardly believe my eyes! Although to be fair the day before i started i cut down a lot of carbs in preparation so when i weighed myself in the morning of the first day of attack i was already down to 8st 9lbs. I hoping it will actually go down a bit more when i am able to go to the toilet....constipation is a draw back!
I think starting again may be an idea, only because, as you said to start at the weekend is really tricky. I was due to go with my boyfriend yesterday to an all day BBQ but i stayed in as i knew i would eat loads of burger buns, sausages, crisps, chocolate and above all drink lots of alcohol!
Are you signed up to the coaching online? As you do not have much to lose it's not too much. I am paying £11 a month for 3 months. There is a discount code here, DUKAN30 to save you 30%.
I have found it really helps me as i have SO many questions that i am forever on the forums and everyone there is so friendly and full of great advice. You also get an email a day giving you ideas for food and it tracks your progress.
Best of luck with it, please trust me when i say when the lbs start dropping off you will find the strength to tell people what you are doing as it is not embarrassing, in fact being on the Dukan Diet is positively fashionable right now :)
