The Dukan Diet - "Attack Phase" day 7

Got up, had breakfast, some scrambled eggs with prawns again, yuck, remind me why am I doing it again? We shot off to head towards our house on the motorway, had some Pepsi Diet and just arrived at home.
Weight: 107,8kg, not bad, was worried that I might actually have wasted all that effort with wine and "tasters".

Anyway, "Attack Phase" was tough, but not as tough as one would imagine.
It is the last day of attack phase, tomorrow we start "cruising".

The Dukan Diet - "Attack Phase" day 6

Sunday morning: 107,9kg
Going to see my friends in Essex, will be tempted a lot to have amazing food and alcohol.
Will let you know what happened on my arrival.
Fingers crossed for my will power.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _

As I thought, loads of temptations as David (my friend) is an amazing chef and I happen to looove food. Anyway, had to go to a pub for lunch, so I insisted on Nando's, at least they do only chicken.
I had two quarters of chicken, trying to resist the temptaition of eating the skin, my God that was hard, and some apparently plain chicken livers which were very salty, so God knows what they put in the marinade.
In the evening there was this amazing dinner cooked by the aforementioned David. He prepared a marinated, for two days, lamb with panfried raw chorizo couscous and freshly made salad. guess what I had two sirloin steaks, and proud! I must admit I had to have a flavour of his cooking so only tried a little bit, and I mean a tiny little bit, of everything. Not proud of having tiny bit of wine with dinner, but really could not resist and one G&T (slimline).

No weighing this time.

The Dukan Diet - "Attack Phase" day 5

Saturday (weekend, hardest time with no alcohol etc.)

Morning weight: 108,3kg, slight progress, no need to worry about one day stagnation.

Afternoon weight: 108,8kg so not that bad at all, although when we were shopping I was really hungry and had to fight the cravings when walking past KFC and a hot dog place.
I think I should be proud of myself. Bought whole grilled Piri Piri chicken and ate half of it without skin, success!

The Dukan Diet - "Attack Phase" day 4

Friday.
Woke up in the morning, weight 108,8kg. What is wrong, stagnation?
Anyway, have got to keep on going, no one said it will be instant and easy, did they?

Breakfast:
Dukan pancake, two fried eggs, fromage frais and smoked salmon, story of my life hey! :)


Elevenses:
Oven baked chicken breast x3 with amazingly delicious garlic sauce (courtesy of Ania W.).
Garlic sauce can be added to anything and everything so if you are fan of garlic and do not mind smelling a bit, then here is how to make it.
PS. I would not recommend using garlic for too long in a row, as your skin will start smelling of garlic too, so tae breaks.

Ingredients:
* 500g natural fat free yoghurt
* 2 cloves of garlic
* herbs and spices

Preparation:
Crush the garlic into the yoghurt (all of it), add some spices (black pepper, tiny bit of salt) to your liking and put it in the fridge for an hour.

Such sauce can stay for a few days in the fridge and takes the "all meat" experience to another level of satisfaction.

Evening weighing: 109,1kg

The Dukan Diet - "Attack Phase" day 3

Day 3 (Thursday):

New day, new challenges.
Morning weighing 108,8kg (result!)
Still ten to the goal, easy! (or is it?).

Nice breakfast, finally managed to make something that is both healthy and tasty.
Fried eggs, smoked salmon on a bed of The Dukan Pancake (oatbran pancake) with a little bit of fromage frais. Do you like it, looks good ha?



Elevenses and lunch, over half a kilo of flame grilled chicken breast from a known supermarket. Nice and moist, tastes great and I feel good.

Had a long walk in the town and down the river as recommended, Feel very well, although my trousers begun to fall off my bum.
Looking forward to the weekend.

The Dukan Diet ("Attack Phase" day 1 and 2)

Hi,

So I decided to try the diet and loose all those unnecessary kilograms that are covering the muscles (so hope).
I hear about Dukan Diet and my fiancée said her boss has tried and could not believe the results. Being a natural hunter and a carnivorous animal that diet sounded like a treat, not diet!

Monday, evening before the "Attack Phase" of the Dukan Diet I weighed myself, after last fatty, extremely unhealthy supper (photo attached), the weight was 111,4kg. I won't attach a photo of my in that state, maybe at the end of programme, just to have a laugh and compare.

Day 1 (Tuesday):

Morning weighing proved that I lost 0,9kg overnight with the result of 110,5kg and that is my starting weight from which I will count down the "losses".
All day nothing but pure protein (chicken, chicken and chicken), loads of water, oat bran pancake in the evening (slightly too much oat bran according to doctor's hints, but we'll see.
Evening weight 110,9kg due to "force feeding", not great, but I presume evening weight will always be bigger.

Day 2 ( Wednesday):
Morning weighing and a little shock 109,4kg! That is a loss of 1,5kg overnight, but only 1kg when compared to the morning weight the previous day. Today prepared loads of fish, salmon baked last night. Not looking forward to eating loads of it, but I will prevail!

Breakfast:
Scrambled eggs with two egg yolks and prawns.

Lunch:
Baked Salmon, loads of it, a little bit too much, felt sick.

Dinner:
Baked leftovers of the Salmon, not great :), a little bit of prawn cocktail with fromage frais based "Mary Rose sauce".

Slightly struggling, feeling not hungry, but not fulfilled either. It is a weird feeling, but let's not panic, tomorrow will be better. Now, off to munch on some crab sticks.

18:00
Weighing after work, 110,1kg. What to think about that? I hope morning will bring far better results.

Craving for some carbs, but can not give up, not now. See you tomorrow.
