I did it. I replaced my morning coffee with a green smoothie or green juice, and it gives me more energy and I don't crash. Also it's so much more healthy! I can't imagine going back ;)

You will detox, but do it in steps, and just know that you will get through it. The quicker you get through it the quicker you'll be free from the migraines. Just try not to go in the opposite direction, once you've bumped a step. I gave up coffee all together and I miss an afternoon coffee with my friends. Everyone at…

Great book!

I started on Dukan, but I didn't like that I couldn't have veggies on my protein days, and went from alternating to ALL protein/veggie days and look at me now almost a year later primarily low fat raw vegan. I have left the days of meatful plates behind and eat primarily veggies and fruits, all because I came to love and…

Great job!

It's a proven fact that refined grains get stored in your mid-section. Ever hear of the "beer belly"? Know what beer is made from? Obviously you can loose weight by eating these things but I'm talking about loosing belly fat.

Cut out refined sugars and carbs. No bread, pasta pizza or sugar-- BELLY FOOD

I'm in! This year I lost 40 lbs. I have my nutrition down, now I need to work on my fitness. I will need help because I am totally uncoordinated and don't have much stamina. Let me know,

I got the excalibur for xmas- will let you know. I had a cheap one from amazon but it was round with the motor in the middle which restricted the kinds of foods I could put in there. First thing I will make is raw dehydrated pizza

I had a similar situation happen to me- at the grocery store as well. I can tell you this... It's not enough to get you to loose weight. People will make comments ALL the time, and even if they don't say them out loud- they're thinking them in their heads- and we know this. If all it took was one A-hole saying hurtful…

1) kale chips 2) sliced zucchini w/homemade guacamole (avocado, scallions, cilantro, tomato, lime) 3) Homemade popcorn made w/olive oil & topped w/nutritional yeast

I was eating about a 99% raw food diet until I read "Raw Food Controversies by Frederic Patenaude". That book really scared me and I started introducing more cooked whole foods back in and now I'm back on Raw, but it is scary to read about all the problems that some Raw Foodists have, and all while trying to be healthy.

Great work! You don't even look 233 at all. Congrats!

I think the Dukan Diet is a great way to wean off processed foods and refined sugars. After my attack phase all I wanted was veggies, and I was never a big veggie eater. My body just craved them! Ever since then I've been hooked- I've modified the diet a lot b/c I don't think it's super healthy to eat that amount of…

Thanks for the posts and the comments on the blog!

No one needs a cheerleader, but it's good to have a support system and a little sympathy. I'm sorry you're getting these replies from people. Dieting is not a trivial thing, and the support I've had has really made the difference. Be indifferent to these selfish people and keep looking for the supportive people.

Hee hee- we're weight loss twins! Congrats!

I had a groupon for a $10 HRM and it was a bowflex EZ PRO. When it came I realized that you have to put our fingers to check your HR, so it's not constant. I was very sad :( But what did I expect for a $10 purchase. I guess it's an ok watch. I have the NIKE fuel band which was $150, but I really don't think the calories on…

Jan 11 till today 40 lbs lost. me-on-dukan.blogspot.com

You should be really proud! Keep up the great job!!!

I started January 11th, so a little over 5 moths. I'm hoping I can lose 10 more by the end of July, and then I can loose the rest more slowly.

I was at 220 when I started, and I'm currently at 179. My goal weight is 150, which is actually quite thin for my body type. It's the hips- they need a scale of their own, but I love it!

THANK YOU!!!

Yeah I ALWAYS hated the beach- now it's my plan for the weekends from now till dec! I can't believe how many things I stopped doing because of my weight- and now it's like re-discovering the real ME!

THANK YOU!!!!

Feeling in control!

WHAT EVER YOU FEEL HAPPY WITH!
