i wouldnt worry, its not real weight is it? just water. ive put on 7 pounds some months b4 tom, and dropped it just as quickly as it came. i think this lifestyle change is hard enough to fathom without worrying about things that aren't really in our control. just another 'perk' of being female lol

ive had them before, choc decadence or something like that. theyre not allowed but i figured it would be ok on occasion bc it was low carb high protein. if your following the plan strictly id say no, but if ure like me and a little more relaxed i think theyr ok occasionally.

thankyou for explaining this, as i was a little confused. and now thinking i should be doing some sort of strength training??

i was a uk 16-18, ive lost approx 43 lbs, the other day i tried on some old clothes, now all my 12s and 14s fit. very happy.

on attack phase you can have fat free dairy as well, skimmed milk, you have to have oat bran every day, and you can have a couple cans of diet pop. i did an it didnt harm me. i know some people are very strict on the diet but id suggest trying things out to see what works for you. for example, i shouldnt drink atall during…

i read this review, it seems to be written by someone who has never followed or even read the diet book. every other day i eat plenty of veg, i eat low fat dairy every day and i also eat healthy fats in the form of oily fish and extra virgin olive oil, all allowed on the dukan diet. i also eat goji berries so i get my…

hi! so i tried higher carbs, energy level did raise a little but so did weight. gained 4 lbs. needless to say i went back to attack and ive lost 5 pounds in five days. clearly my body likes this diet. so i plan to eat more veg and dairy on pv days to increase my carbs, maybe even a little more oatbran and use these days as…

i got a polar f4 from ebay, calculates calories burned which tbh is the only reason i wanted it. if you have a look im sure youl get one under your budget. mine cost £26.99

i dont think i burned many calories at first, but once i knew the moves i put in loads of effort and burned many more calories. its fun, and its addictive!

bump i have the wii game but an answer to this question would be great

sorry, double post

i had the depo shot when i was 18, i turned into a fat miserable moody cow and spotted every day for 3 weeks at a time. my cousin had it and had no problems atall, however after being off it for 7 years she hasnt had a period again. then again, i also know two other people who had it, one lost so much weight she had to…

I am so pleased for you- thats brilliant. i weighed 196lbs in jan and now i weigh 157, its only recently i have started to see the difference and even now im still really not happy. i think the fact that you can see a difference already is an excellent boost for you, so keep smiling and good luck, you are doing…

Hi there hows everyone doing, hope everyone is dong really well!! Ive just started exercising (a 3000 calories burned a week challenge) which has actually sent my body into complete shock as its so used to me being so lazy, lol!! so, after a week of loads of energy i have completley run out of fuel this week and today ive…

sorry to hear uv had a bad time, this diet isnt for everyone. i worried about crashing but i have more energy than i have done for a while- maybe we approached things differently, i definetly didnt spend long in attack phase!! good luck with your journey.

i follow the dukan diet. u will get loads of responses from people who think its the root of all evil, lol. search the threads theres one by people who are following the diet. it works well for me. i eat lean meat, dairy, oatbran, vegetables and goji berries. i know what i can and cant eat. i do cheat occasionally and i…

i alternate my pp and pv days i wonder if this may help so that you wont have such a break between carbs and crave them less? also i just use 100% oat bran from the supermarket, as long as its 100% i think that should be ok. the specific oat bran the diet talks about can only be purchased through the dukan website and im…

i work hard, count calories and eat healthily on the dukan diet. not quite sure why you would comment on this thread at all.

BEST- I love winter fashion, knits, WORST- the cold!!! im cold all the time so winter im freezing!!!

just wanted to ask others on dukan, how many grams of carbs are u having on pp and pv days?? on a protein only day i have carbs in the form of fat free dairy, and a little onion or garlic in food. obviously pv days automatically include veg, but there doesnt seem to be any guidelines in the book. so i just wondered what u…

Hi!! well done on your loss!!! I have roughly the same amount to lose as u b4 i get to my true weight we r all in this together!! good luck

im trying to lose the same amount, although when i posted about it most people said it wasnt acheiveable. im going to try anyway, i have 30 day shred and will be using my cross trainer every day if possible. the only thing im planning to do is stick to my 1200 calories, and maybe mix up my exercise, ie 30ds one day, x…

i use zero noodles, same thing really, and they are fab. no net carbs, hardly any calories and really filling. had them tonight in place of pasta for my spag bol. tasted great with hundreds less calories

hahaha mine would too, tbh i didnt really think it was that unhealthy cz i still have so much to lose!! Im just going to try my hardest and see what happens!!!

i did think that, but five pounds in five weeks i can do wth no exercise atall. was hoping the exercise would boost my results- didnt think 2 lb a week was that tough but now my bubble is well and truly burst!! gutted

I have gained ten pounds in five weeks in the past but not recently, it isnt the reason I want to lose this amount, I want to lose it before seeing alot of family members who live far away, it sounds silly but its important to me.

I use zero noodles (i order from UK site) they dont have that fishy smell and i ordered 30 packs from approx £46. they are great in soup or as a pasta alternative and only 5 calories per 100g. Also, the noodles are low carb which is good if you want to reduce carb intake. Very filling- takes hundreds of calories off meals!

??? not quite sure what u mean or if u r just being sarcastic? i didnt say i didnt need the calories, i just couldnt eat them all as i wasnt up much in the day to eat them all. but i did say in the rest of my post that id need to up my calories eventually.

my husband of 2 yrs (partner of almost ten) has seen me a uk size 6 and a uk size 16. bless, him, he loves me regardless. but he does prefer when im happier, whatever weight that may be, bc im more confident and want to go out more. he likes seeing me strutt my stuff lol!!

I eat less than 1000 cals , however I am at home unable to exercise at the mo due to an operation- im sleeping longer (due to painkillers and antibiotics) so i cant eat all my cals or id be stuffing my face, lol. ive been eating this way for a few weeks now, still losing weight. however i know once in up earlier and out…
