Day 9 - Dukan Diet Attack Phase

Weight this morning was 89.2kg. Gain of 400g and a total weight loss of 3.2kg

That sort of confirms that the scales must have been wrong yesterday, unless I did loose a lot of fluid and it is now just being retained again.

I wasn't really too shocked by the weight gain as I thought the loss of 900g yesterday was a bit too much.

So today I tried out my new chocolate essence. I'm sure it is not any better nutritional wise than the cocoa I have, but mentally it seems better.

First I made chocolate pralines and substituted the cocoa with half the amount of chocolate essence. Next time I should use a lot less. It was so chocolaty I could hardly eat it. Just tasted too sweet. It took all day snacking on one ice cube size, just to finish one. Luckily there's only about three ice cube sizes. My son likes it though...

Second, I tried a cheese cake. This flopped too, for many reasons. I used too much chocolate essence, the pan I used was too big so it came out too flat and lastly I tried turning it to cook the bottom a bit crispier, but broke the thing in lots of pieces.

As you can see I'm not so good in the kitchen. I'm hoping one day I'll get banned so I don't have to cook anymore. Ha ha maybe that's wishful thinking.....

Lastly I made some Warm Cocoa Fudge, which didn't look like the picture at all. I didn't taste these as each portion has one day worth of oat bran and I've already planned on having Dukan Bread, which will be my oat bran for the day. I might try these tomorrow even though it's meant for the Cruise phase and not really suitable for the Attack phase.

Today I had:
-3 x Coffee with skim milk
-1/2 glass diet lemon fizzy drink
-1.5 litres water
-2 x slices 97% fat free Roast Beef
-2 x slices 97% fat free English Ham
-1 tbs lite creamed Cottage Cheese
-1 serve Dukan Bread
-1 slice 97% fat free Cajun Chicken - this has a high carb content but I ate it anyway
-1 ice cube size chocolate praline (as mentioned before, it took me all day to eat this)
-2 x BirdsEye lemon & parsley steamed Fish (definitely a favourite meal at the moment)


I started thinking about what veg I'll have on my first PV day on Monday. Early in the day I felt like I just don't want vegetables, almost dreading having to have vegetables. By night time I sort of accepted that I have to start vegetables soon. I don't know why I dreaded introducing vegetables as I usually like vegetables. Roasted vegetables in particular. It might be because subconsciously I know that the weight loss will slow down as soon as I introduce the vegetables.
