  • Hi Bean, I like the idea of ham and cream cheese (or salmon) - I love all of that. I'm in Cheshire, UK. I've starting developing a thing for seafood sticks also! Well done on your progress so far, amazing! I'm getting tired of the attack phase but only another 2 and half days to go on it then I can have veggies :) Can't…

  • Hi all, I'm starting Day 1 of the Attack Phase today - It's really encouraging reading all of your posts and how much weight you've all lost. For the first time, I'm actually feeling like I will be able to keep to this diet. I have 38 pounds to lose and according the great Dr Dukan, I will reach this on 20th May! Really…
