Detox during pregnancy
Hi ladies, how are you all doing? I've had a rough week, meetings non stop and with clients the whole week, every meal has been at a restaurant.

Hi ladies. So I'm having a scheduled c section end of July. Have any of you previously had one? What I want to know is how soon did you have visitors at the hospital?

C section vs Normal
Hi ladies? Who is planning on doing what? I'm not apposed to either way of delivery, I just can't make up my mind yet. We live really far from a hospital, so in my case a c section is a much better option, but as I said, I'm still very much undecided and would love to hear your opinions!

has anyone had to up their calories
Hi Dukan'ers. I was just wondering at how many calories a day do you achieve maximum weight loss? I try and keep my calories above 1200, but on pure protein days, I can't always reach that. Lately I've noticed I'm not losing as much as I used to (probably also because I don't have a lot left to go...) but on the days I eat…

Carb Count HELP?!
To all Dukan dieters: I eat no starchy foods, here and there an exception, like sparkling grape juice. But my daily carbs are still quite high. What is your average carb count? Mine is set for 165. I always have left over, but I can easily use about 100 a day on my protein and veg days. HELP?!

Thoughts on Protein Shakes?
When I'm in a hurry I make a protein shake with non fat milk as a meal replacement, maybe once a day. Is it bad/good and why? I'm on really low carb diet, with almost no sugar, so the shake also helps with my sugar craving.

Dukan Diet
Hi. Has anyone had success with the Dukan Diet? Were you able to keep it up? I read the book and it is all about reconditioning your eating habbits. Its basically starting your eating habbits again from scratch, but it sounds do-able. Especially once you reach the consolidation phase. If anyone else is doing it, good luck!

Motivation to lose 12 Kg!
Hello! I'm new, well, not new new, I've been on the site a while, and I've always managed to convince myself that I'm "not really that fat"...
