oops very unsuccessful attempt to upload a picture to see how the bread looks like, ...and once again

Hey girls, How is everybody doing? I felt I have to share a recipe of oat bran bread, which is a new discovery for me. Now I am enjoying beautifully made oat bran bread, which actually counts as my daily bran portion and theoretically I can eat another slice of normal bread ( I am on Consolidation now). So this is the…

Yup, me too. I was kind of against it, but now I started using them and must admit, I'm loving it! As long as the main source of protein remains 'natural' proteins ( meat, eggs, fish, dairy, etc) and all those shakes take a place of a supplement, we are fine!

That's cool! Good to hear you had a good beginning. In my case, I didn´t really allow myself too much cheating. I feel I need self discipline - if I start cheating on small things, I step into a bigger overeating in a couple of days without realizing it. I had one big party in a middle of my cruising, where I ate lots of…

Officially Dr Dukan recommends not more than 700 gr of dairy a day ( or maybe a wee bit less, can not remember exactly) In my case, it caused me bloating and weight loose plateau. Of course, it is an individual thing. I have a slight lactose intolerance, so consuming cow´s milk had slowed down my digestion. This might have…

As for me, I didn´t have any major side effects. Ok, the weakness thing during the first days of the Attack phase - you just need to go through that and that´s it. Also, drink plenty ( I drink at least 2 litres of water a day + herbal teas) In the beginning I had problems with constipation and muscular cramps. Apparently…

Hello Mamadukes6, Welcome to the Dukan group. I have started Dukan diet beginning January and now finishing Cruise phase. I didn´t have much to loose, but couldn´t get rid off those extra kilograms due to lack of self control when eating. Dukan diet has been working more or less well for it. So far I have lost 7 kg and…

Soya protein powder. Got hooked up. So tasty and filling!

I read that ideally carbs should be kept around 80 grams on PV days and 40 grams on PP days. I also always try to consume around 25 grams of fiber, probably every dukaner understand why :happy:

I am waiting another kilogram to disappear, it's either tomorow morning or hopefully on friday morning. I really hope my scales won't stop on a current 65 kg, as I haven't been doing any sports at all ( exams at uni!):sad: The food diary, according to my standards, was really good, so that kept me losing bit by a bit. Poco…

Heya, Feel free to add me to your friends. I will be glad dukaning with more folk. It's my second time doing dukan as well, you can read a bit more in my profile. I hope the start has been good? Good luck x

Hey you know, i think its the only way to fight with this problem. I have a sweet tooth, and if I want sth sweet and get tempted to eat 1 biscuit, in most cases after that I loose control. So my way of dealing with it was take out those sweet things that I usually have no willpower for. Now i have my own ways, which is…

No no don´t get me wrong, I do know all that ( more or less). I am not saying that I have taken all fats out of my diary, they are still there, but as much as possible, I try to eat lean foods. How else will you get rid of that fat, which is already around your waist? By eating a nice and healthy fruit and seed and oat…

me too... the same problem... depending on the time of the day and fridge supplies: 1) brush my teeth and use some mouthwash(!!) 2) eat chewing gum 3) 0 fat yogurt with some sweetener and fat free cocoa powder ( this one is my favourite) 4) coffee flavour mousse ( mix instant coffee with sweetener, 0 fat yogurt or quark,…

Hey guys.. I just don´t get it about fats what you are saying.. sorry if that was answered already before.. but why you keep the fats high? What benefit does that bring? I have totally reduced fat to a minimum, carbs as well, ate almost protein and veg, drank 2 litres of water and green tea, and lost 4.5 kg in 3 weeks.…

I am afraid to be social while dieting lol although it´s the time you can invite folk to your home and provide diet, but still edible food :) how is with your meniu situation when travelling?

A simple way to have your fresh bread with very little effort: You will need: 125 g quark or cottage cheese, 0 % fat ( Polish shops sell ´Tvorog', this one isjust perfect) 2 egg whites 1 TBSP ground flax seed a bit salt 1 tsp baking powder Blend everything until smooth, put into a silicone mould and microwave for about 5…

As far as I remember, Dr does not recommend this, not at least on Attack or Cruise. Sure, if you replace your meal with a protein shake once in a while, when you really do not have to prepare a nutritious protein rich meal, that´s fine but not in a log run. And to be honest, I never ever tried one, so could not even offer…

Never during Dukan I was hungry. I do admit, I watch my carbs, especially those in yogurts, but this is what we should be supposed to do anyway.

No, no and once again no. I could not tell you how much calories I consume a day. I stopped counting them last time, when I was doing Dukan and I failed. Common sense. All about common sense.

Over the weekend? Great!! lol my boyfriend was so sick in bed and ate almost nothing. No temptation for me for any 'sin' foods, just my dukan meniu lol. Also, as I have been studying all the time and sitting at home, so I was drinking about 2 litres of green tea and maybe another 1 litre of red pu erh tea a day. I think…

Egg soufflés are good, nothing weird by the way:) I do it in microwave, in a silicone mold. However it´s been a while since I had one, so I might prepare one tomorrow, my PP day. Today I made 5 days worth of oat bran - goji cake. This is so far my favourite, until I get bored of the same recipe. The base of the recipe is…

Also, Dr. Dukan recommends taking additional magnesium, potassium, calcium and vitamin B6 for a better absorption. But I take so much of diary products, that I think I am good for calcium lol

Globegirl, I had the same last time, in July I think. I had that 'pins' and 'needles' sensation followed by cramps on my legs. I started taking magnesium, and that helped straight away, the next day I didn´t have any of this. I keep drinking magnesium over the summer, when I sweat a lot, and now, when I am dukaning, I am…

Hey :) I just saw my previous post and thought to might have confused you lol so I literally started my Dukan from Attack last Wednesday. Wanted to do it in December, but my nutritionist advised me not to ( all the fests and so on) So here I am back as well! Had my 'Attack' kick, which resumed in 4.5 kg lost ( hemmm let´s…

Linzkidder, as far as I understand, you have to use the primary calculation method, just as you did in the beginning

Hey girls, After a gooood brake ( Gosh, it´s been 5 months :/ ) I am back on Dukan. Well, to be fair, a bit on a modified version lol Feel free to add me as a friend!

Hi djthom! Welcome to Dukan. I sometimes have a problem of stomach acke as well. For me it is mostly because I am slightly intolerant to cow's milk, however, if I eat it in small portions, I feel fine. Normally breakfast is an important kick to a day. Oatbran porridge is a good meal to calm your stomack ( I use lacto free…

Yes, multi-vitamins on PP days and magnesium every day. Goji berries are in my meniu from now on as well. Also, this morning I asked my boyfriend to bring back the scales. I knew in advance I shouldn't expect anything good, but... Haven't lost any pound, in fact, have put on few. So I will simply ask him to hide the scales…

I have some coke zero in the fridge and some ice cubes! Do you think it will work with it? It is going to be hot here tomorrow .... :drinker:
