Hi pals,
Today is my Day 1 on Dukan. Anyone on attack phase ?. I read the book. I am planning to follow the program to the T (or atleast something close.)
I have tried so many diets in the past. The only thing that has worked to some extent is low-carb.

Please share any tips, tools you have used and enabled to follow the program well.
Please add me if you would like.
Cheers!

    Today is my 1st day on Dukan too! I haven't ready the book. I just gathered information from online. I plan on sticking with the plan and try to deviate.

    My day 1 also! I am quite full, but no side effects like others complained. I had a pretty healthy and balanced diet prior, but cheated at night so hopefully this will help me see some results!

    Hi,
    I´m quite new to this site and new to Dukanin.
    Today is my day 2. To tell the truth I´m feeling a little light headed ?

    Any advice anyone ?

    I really enjoyed the Oat bran pancake yesterday. I had it for breakfast spread with cottage cheese. I made another one last night for this morning but left it out and the flippin ants got it !!!

    I ordered the book but couldn´t wait for it to arrive and started anyway. I think I´ve gathered quite enough info and a friend of mine is doing it so I have a bit of inside information there.
    She´s doing great by the way.

    I haven´t got loads to lose but it would be lovely to finally reach goal weight for once and for all so I´m planning on sticking with it and doing it as recommended.
    According to the web site I should have 2 days Attack , 36 day´s cruise and 52 days consolidation.
    I´m really going to try hard to do this as I can´t help but worry about all the talk of "yo yo" etc.

    Good luck everyone.

    Nice to see that there are so many pals on Dukan and in the attack phase. Dukan-Attackers? unite!

    Today is my day 2. My Day 1 went pretty good. The key to sticking to the plan is being creative with the foods you are allowed to eat (I know this requires cooking skills). For example, yesterday, I grilled up a whole batch of chicken with spices&lime juice. This has been a savior. Also, I made rose lassi drink (recipe on Dukan site). I did not feel deprived at all on Day1.

    Today, I was light headed when I woke up. I had an 1 egg scramble with lots of water, felt better and then headed to the gym for a light workout. For lunch, I am having Tuna Delived eggs (using egg white only) . So far, my day is going great.

    okay back to work now. I have tons to catch-up on.
    Cheers!

    Day 2 is going well. When I woke up this morning and weighed myself, I lost 3 lbs since yesterday. I too felt a little light-headed when I woke up this morning, but that went away after I drank some water. I haven't read the book either. I gathered all of my info online, and I think I have a pretty good grasp of the program. Good luck to everyone!

    This my official day 1 (unofficial day 3) of Attack. So far it's good. The headache from Day 1 has gone (hurrah for sweetened tea), the horrid taste in my mouth from Day 2 has gone (hurrah for Tropical Trident gum) and I'm finding today I have more energy and feel less 'high' than I did yesterday.

    Since yesterday I'm down 1.5lbs too.

    Kinda bored of peeing every hour though!

    Hi all.
    Im so glad to find this group - its so motivating sharing this journey with others.

    Today is day 5 for me. I feel myself today as far as lightheadedness or dizziness when i stand goes....

    Day 3 was the hardest for me.. my sugar cravings were making themselves known, but as of day 4, all is well.

    please feel free to add me - :)

    As for motivation... on my 4th day i had dropped 1.5kg (3 pounds) - i didnt have the chance to weigh myself this morning so ill share day 6 results tomorrow. I love this diet!

    Thank you.:)

    I'm on Attack until Saturday, so only a couple more days.

    Hi Robbda,
    Hang on in there. They say the cravings go after day 3.
    Make sure you eat enough but of the right stuff obviously.

    Good luck

    Hi all,
    Day 1 on attack for me today as well! I've a fair bit to loose though so I've six days of attack!!
    I did this diet before & lost weight pretty quickly - decided to try again and see it through! I should reach my 'true weight' in January next year...feels like ages away but I'm determined to work hard & get there this time!
    Feel free to add me - my food diary's available for my friends to view so you can get an idea of what I'm eating, which might be helpful to those on attack (and of course on PP days through cruise when we get there) :)
