Hi
i have just started the Dukan diet, attack phase day 5, and have already lost 6lbs!!
The next phase is to add the veg and alternate every other day or 5 days pure protein and 5 days protein and veg.
Does anyone know if this can be altered? I was thinking about 5 days protein (finding it easy for work purposes) and 2 days with protein and veg. Would this work or is this a bad idea?

The book says to find what works for you. Go for it!0

Both apparently work the same, so whatever makes you comfortable should be fine. I think I am ready to start phase 2 and will do the 1-1. Allows me to eat out with more flexibility and I really miss those veggies!0

Keep us updated! I am on day 4 of phase 1. I wish I was losing more than what I am. I am going to continue with the attack phase for another day or so and then I think I am going to do 1 on 1 off.0

I am on day 5 of the attack phase. I must admit that I never thought that I would be so excited to get vegetables in my life!! I will start the cruise phase tomorrow. I am going to do 1 day pure protein and next day protein & veggies. I do believe I will be more willing to keep to that phase by alternating days vs 5/5!! Good luck everyone.
I have lost 6 pounds as of this am!0 -
I know I don't do well on alternating 1/1, I prefer to not have to remember "which day" it is, so that's why I will be going with the 5/5.
Congrats on your losses, everybody. I am on day 3 of Attack with 1 day to go. Down 5 lbs. 7 to go to "true weight"0 -
i found lot of food going to waste on 1/1 as i couldnt eat it the next day - i think i will go with 5/5 :-)0

Yah it's way easier just to shop every 5 days....0
