    Do a google search, heaps of site that explain how it works,

    I know all of you guys know this basic info, but I was on Youtube and found some videos of Dr. Dukan explaining the diet. I LOVE his accent. :) (especially the way he says 'oat bran' and 'vegetables')

    Attack:

    Cruise:

    Consolidation

    Stabilization

    (And that channel has a few other videos, if you're interested.)


    . . . Acutally, now that I think about it, if there is someone who doesn't know about the diet yet, but has wandered through to check it out, these videos are a great introduction.

    There are quite a few of us on here that follow the diet - I am finding it easy to stick to and the weight is coming off - but you must read the book to ensure you do it properly - i borrowed it from the library to save buying it.

    Hi,

    I'm on Day 8 and its going really well. Much much easier than I thought it would be, and no hunger. (Not sure weight loss yet due to TOM and scales currently being evil diet wreakers!)

    Can't decide what to do today - a final attack day or move to cruise. Should be cruise, but I have a work event on Tuesday and it would be 100 times easier if I could eat veg on that day (so I could have a salad), so my options are:

    1) Cruise today and do 5 days PV and then 5 days PP
    2) Attack today and then move to 1 day PV 1 day PP making tuesday a PV.

    ARGHHH! Help!!

    Yes - much easier with a book! I have treated myself to a long soak in the bath reading it every night!

    Buying the food you need is key, so you always have something you can eat. And it doesn't have to be expensive - I bought whole chickens, eggs, value cottage cheese etc and it turned out to be a cheaper than normal week!! Highly recommend the pancakes, it feels like a treat! And cook the same food for the family, but give them less meat and add veg to it. Easy!

    Good luck!

    So stupid question - is a PP day on cruise any different to attack, other than the extra oatbran?

    From memory I think that's the only change.
    Other than upping your walking (20mins day in Attack, 30 in cruise) - but your doing way over the recommended minimum exercise anyway.

    LOL!! You can easily do this without cottage cheese, and some extra protein for you other half will help whatever eating plan he does.

    Even if you eat differently doing it together will be great support.

    Extra oatbran = Bigger pancake!
    Thanks for your help. Decision made, and looking forward to veggies tomorrow now

    THANKS
