I weighed in at 90.1kg this morning. A loss of 700g for the day and total of 2.3kg
Not fantastic but way better than yesterday. On other diets it would probably have taken me a month to loose what I have in the last three days. Gotta be happy with that.
I only realised last night lying in bed that I actually had too much Oat bran yesterday, as I had my daily dose in the galette as well as the about one tablespoon in the muffins. Oops!
Today I had:
-Coffee with skim milk x 2
-Bread I made yesterday - more like an omelette with yeast!
-Two slices 97% fat free Pastrami
-Two slices 97% fat free Pepper Ham
-Two tabelspoons Gherkin Cottage Cheese
-Galette
-4 slices 97% fat free pepper Ham with lite Creamed Cottage Cheese
-about 200g roasted Turkey
-Chai tea with skim milk
-1.5 litres water
Okay I think I finally have the bread sorted. Found a recipe that I have adjusted a litte as I didn't have plain yoghurt nor fromage. I used the creamed cottage cheese and vanilla yoghurt. I had a tiny taste as I've had my Oat bran for the day. It is a little salty (probably from the cottage cheese). So next time I'll use half the salt. The one I've used is on the Recipes page.
I have frozen this bread in portions (5 serves to a loaf). I kept one serve to give to a fellow Dukanian to see what she thinks. Will report back tomorrow.
I still have no headaches and I'm still not feeling overly tired.

Day 3 - Dukan Diet Attack Phase
Today I weighed 90.8kg. That is a loss of only 0.3kg for the day and a total of 1.6kg.
Not what I was hoping for but I did eat a bit too much and also shouldn't have had the cocoa and so many eggs. Well so we learn.
Day 3 started early (my son woke up at 4.30am and wouldn't go back to bed). As it was too early to start eating or to weigh myself I had a couple glasses of water untill my weigh in time between 6 and 7am. I'm hoping this (the water in my tummy) is the reason for a small weight loss rather than what I ate yesterday but if not I am happy with any weight loss.
I still don't have headaches, which I have been expecting.
I've had an on-the-go day. Took the kids to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. There was lots of ups and downs to supply me with the exercise I needed. Pushing a double stroller on and off for 4 hours on such a busy day is hard work. Then it started to rain really hard and I had to run to the car.
I must have not had enough water today as I didn't need the toilet nearly as much as yesterday - even though I still had more than the prescribed 1 and half litres.
I've tried to eat a little less eggs today so this is what I consumed today:
-2 x Coffee with skim milk
-1 x Mug Flat White (skim milk)
-4 slices 97% fat free Pastrami
-Galette
-3 left over Quiches
-Small tin of Tuna in springwater with 2 tablespoons 97% fat free Gherkin Cottage Cheese
-BirdsEye Steamed Fish - Lemon & parsley (this was sooo nice I'm going to stock up on these)
-3 muffins (which is one serve according to the Dukan Diet Recipe Book) I changed the recipe a little. Used 1/2 the amount oat bran and 1/2 wheat bran. Also fat free vanilla Yoghurt instead of fromage and added 1 tablespoon of lemon & lime Metamucil for flavour and extra fibre.
I made these muffins as I am scared that constipation might become an issue. The batch made 12 muffins (4 serves) so I put one serve in the fridge and two in the freezer. I would suggest making it without the Metamucil if you don't have constipation issues.
I attempted the Dukan bread in the recipe book but it looks nothing like bread. More like an omelette and smelling a bit too yeasty. Will have to find a better recipe. When I've got that I will post it in the recipe section.

Day 2 - Dukan Diet Attack Phase
I weighed myself first thing this morning and weighed 91.1kg. How fantastic! That is a loss of 1.3kg in a day.
Now I'm even more motivated.
I made some crustless quiches with two eggs, 7 egg whites, 1/2 tin tuna, onion & coriander, salt & pepper. I made them about half a cupcake size so I'd have lots (9). So I decided I'd go buy the Dukan Diet Recipe book for ideas. Mainly for the dessert tipe things as that is my downfall. I couldn't wait to get home and try something.
I made Nana's Cake - two servings and I ate both. Later I made chocolate meringues and ate the lot too. What a pig! Don't think I was really allowed the cocoa in attack but it's too late now. Will see what scale says tomorrow.
It's only really today that I feel the effects of drinking lots of water. I wonder if all those trips to the toilet would count as excercise.
I also feel tired today but it could be because I didn't get much sleep last night.
Today I consumed a lot:
-Coffee with skim milk
-Galette
-6 Quiches
-Chai tea with skim milk x 2
-1/2 tin Tuna in springwater mixed with 2 tablespoons of 97% fat free Cottage cheese with gherkin
-3 slices peppered Ham
-2 serves of Nana's Cake
-4 Chicken drumsticks cooked in oven, with Lemon & herb Cook in bag mix. I cooked it with the skin then pulled the skin off which had most of the mix stuck to it so I only got the flavour.
-A whole batch of Chocolate meringues
-1 cup No fat Yoghurt
-3 litres of water
Can't wait to see if all this food made a difference to my attempt to loose weight. I hope not because Dr Dukan does say you can eat as much as you like.

Day 1 - Dukan Diet Attack Phase
I started the Dukan diet on 27/5/2011 weighing 92.4kg.
I was not extremely well prepared food wise but I did buy No fat vanilla yoghurt, 97% fat free cottage cheese with gherkin, egg, oat bran and some cold meats to get me started. I couldn't find Fromage & no fat cottage cheese & I was in a hurry so the 97% fat free cottage cheese will have to do and I'll just use yoghurt instead of Fromage for the time being. And I also have no idea where to find quark.
As this is my first day on the diet I still crave everything I am not allowed. It is really hard to resist when it is constantly thrown in front of you in the form of ads on TV, magazines, shops, just about everywhere. Even in the house it is everywhere - fruit bowl on the table, the pantry & the fridge, etc. I've tried my best to be good even though I did have some pork.
I even resisted ordering non-Dukan diet things when I went with my friend to a surf club. She had an iced chocolate and cookie and the kids had icecream. I was very proud of myself for the self control. Hopefully a good sign of things to come.
Today I had:
-Instant coffee with skim milk & sweetener
-Galette - I made enough for 4 days but tried making the recipe from memory and stuffed up. I used water instead of fromage and added little bit of vanilla no fat yoghurt when I realised my mistake. It still tasted yum.
-Roast pork shoulder - left over from the day before - I tried eating the leanest & most cooked bits to reduce fat intake
-One egg dry fried, topped with tin chicken & gherkin cottage cheese (97% fat free)
-1/2 grilled chicken breat
-2 mugs skinny flat white
-4 slices 97% fat free Pepper Ham (the pre packaged ones)
-No fat Vanilla Yoghurt
-Lots of water (about 2 litres)
I felt good at the end of the day. I didn't feel tired nor did I have a headache. I actually expected it as I have always had headaches when I've eaten mainly protein. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
