Hi everyone,
anyone wants to just have a daily chat thread on here? Would be nice, not everything always fits into a topic by its own.
I'm on my day 2 of the attack phase and I feel great so far.
How's everyone doing?

Hi there,
How long are you going to stay with the attack phase ? Good luck with your weight loss journey.
I´m just nearing the end of cruise phase ( I hope) it´s been a bit of a plateau time the last week or so but PMT no doubt has something to do with it.
I´m a bit nervous of the next phase I have to say but I´m pleased with my results so far.
Have a good day0 -
Hi Cath,
Thanks very much!
I'm going to be on this for four days in total. I'm thrilled by everyone's great results. Good luck with maintaining it now!
I only got 49 days of cruise phase, it says overall I should be done and dusted and going into maintaining it by December, just in time for Christmas and to be able to eat normally LOL.0 -
Great idea! I am on consolidation thru August 14th… I started on Dukan on 12/31/11… It has been a pretty smooth ride. I still have an aversion to rice , bread,pasta and potatoes. I have added an extra fruit to my daily plan to make up for not eating any of those things on consolidation. I have gone from 174 to 135 and feel great!
Hope everyone has a great Dukan day!0 -

Wow! Well done!
Do you think the diet has 'reprogrammed' you regarding your view on bread, pasta, potatoes...?0 -
Funny, i was going to ask if there is anyone in the consolidation or stabilization phase who still shys away from the big, bad starches. I can't see myself eating them either. As of now, I am in the Cruise Phase since 3 weeks and hoping that the weight will continue to drop. Some days are better than others, but I feel great so that's always a bonus!0

I've totally lost all interest in porridge, pasta and potatoes. I feel like someone has played with my mind!
I had a weekend totally off plan last weekend and I was amazed how I felt. I didn't feel bloated or icky, but one thing I did notice is that as soon as I had some starchy foods (I had a chicken pizza for dinner one night and a chicken burger with bun for lunch the next) I filled up really quickly and couldn't clear my plate.
This diet has definitely done something to the way I see starches. Even when I have them I get bored of them and don't want as much!0 -

I think I just feel so good and the during the attack phase all I craved was a nice sliced tomato. I think the diet attack and cruise phases rewire your whole body. And honestly, i work to get all the "super" foods in as much as I can. (salmon, tomatoes , broccoli, etc) I am addicted to greek yogurt and am quite picky about it! i do like those silly oat bran gallettes… I think food tastes better since I got on Dukan, and I find I don't need to eat as much to be ever so full. I just think I blame my former excess weight on a really bad low nutritional value carb addition.. and I don't want to relapse0 -

I lived by making sure I do my 20 minutes a day of walking and my one hour of standing. I have a desk job and I really strive to maintain and increase my activity level any way I can - hate the gym!!0 -
Hello all.
Hope everyone is having a good day.
I'm on day 7 today, had 4 days of attack phase, so today is a PV day. As per this mornings weigh-in I dropped 2kg in the last 7 days. Whoop!
I'm currently weigh-in daily to see if there's any sort of trend and to stay on top of my goals.
Additional motivation is my upcoming beach holiday, only 14 days left!0 -
Today was my first successful day of the Attack Phase! So Excited! Skinny me, here I COME!0

Yay, well done! You'll see it's a lot easier than you think.0 -
The thing with attack, its something to get used to but once you do - its the best thing ever.
Im about 5-6 weeks into this diet now but have more protein days than necessary as i love never being bloated anymore. I feel so free from that heaviness for the first time ever.... thankyou Dr Dukan!0 -
Hello all - I just started the Attack phase yesterday - I love protein so I am hoping I can stick to this. I am going to be on this phase for 5 - 6 days. I have just booked a trip to Mexico for November 3rd - so really hoping to lose some significant weight before then. I am not sure how much to expect (I never seem to lose the same as advertised, you know that phrase "results not typical"), but I am hoping to lose around 20 lbs (works out to 1.6 lbs a week). Also, I had protein powder this morning before I found out that it is not allowed (I am waiting for the book to come in at the library) so I hope that doesn't screw me up too much. Anyway, I am not going to weigh myself until next Wednesday so we shall see.0

Had a good day despite forgetting to eat breakfast this morning…I just shifted calories/meals to lunch, tea, then dinner. pretty proud of not over doing it and staying within my food choices!0
-
I weighed myself everyday on Attack and it was SO motivating! I lost 1.8 pounds the first day and another 1.5 the next day, and a total of 5 in three days. So consider it - might help you stick to it!Hello all - I just started the Attack phase yesterday - I love protein so I am hoping I can stick to this. I am going to be on this phase for 5 - 6 days.

Good morning, Dukan-ers. I wanted to share a wierd thing with you. I was craving toast the other night, so after an hour or two of obsessive toast fantasies, I made one slice with butter and peach preserves. GUESS WHAT? I did not enjoy it. Not at all. So I think I am getting past the lack of carbs on this plan. That's good because I am (or was) a huge bread eater.0

Isn't that amazing? I listed bread as my favorite food when I signed up for the on line coaching…now I can just pass over it without thinking.0 -
I weighed myself today after 6 days on Attack - I am down 7 lbs! I have to add in though, I was doing a landscaping project that burned a lot of calories (moved 11 cubic yards of rock from a bed in the front of the house to the side of the house, by shovel, pail and wheel-barrow). But even with that, 7 lbs is amazing. I am starting the cruise phases today - who knew I could get so excited about being allowed to eat a salad!0

Congrats on the 7 lbs gone Shelmag! I start stabilization on Tuesday, and I am now down 40 lbs from my journey that started on Christmas eve, 2011…. Protein and Veggies from Cruise are my mainstay!0

I'm on day 2 of Attack! Am anxiously waiting to see how much I lose. I think I retained water the 1st day a bit only had a .2 lbs loss. This diet is really quite easy to follow!0

Woo Hop!! I am on stabilization down 5 pounds from "true weight"... see my blog and my success post ... Dukanite for life!!0

Well done!0 -
I just got back from a 5 day conference and then had company for the entire weekend - I started out well at the conference, but by the end I caved and was eating anything and everything. I weigh myself on Tuesdays so tomorrow might be a frustrating day - but starting today I am going back on Attact phase for three days to kick start it again. In the past this set-back would have derailed me for a month at least, but not this time - I think because the Dukan is pretty easy to follow (other then not being able to drink red wine; I am used to having a glass of red wine with supper every day).0
-
Shelmag,
Just keep telling yourself - I get that glass of red wine back in stabilization! I did that with so many foods and now I don't want them. But the good thing about Dukan is that during consolidation you get two celebration meals a week and you can have that glass of wine if you so desire.
Good job getting right back on track!0
