Day 1 (Dukan Diet)

So it was my first day on The Dukan Diet today and if you forget the side effects its been really good!

What i ate today

Breakfast - Oat bran porridge & a fat free cherry yogurt

Lunch - Bernard Mathews roast turkey pieces & fat free raspberry yogurt

Dinner - 2 garlic chicken breasts & yep you guessed it ! a fat free cherry yogurt

Snacks - 10 sea food sticks

The only issue i have had is the head ache, my lord its like being smacked around the head with a frying pan repetitively! I'm not sure why i have it so soon as its only my first day but hopefully it should pass in around 3 days.The other thing is the peeing, It is constant, every hour on the hour but that i don't mind so much as i know I'm loosing my water weight.

Weight : 10.8 lbs
Hight : 5ft 6
Target weight : 9 stone

The Dukan Diet..... The Do's and Don'ts

 Dukan is a low carb high protein diet which brakes weight loss down into 4 phases allowing you to eat a wider range of food groups as you go through the phases.

So tomorrow will be my first day on The Dukan Diet I'm starting with phase one (attack) this means nothing but.....

1.5 liters of water a day
20 minute walk a day
Meat (beef and veal)
poultry without the skin on (apart from duck and goose)
lean ham
fish
seafood
fat-free dairy products
tea and coffee

Whats good is that i can eat as much of the "allowed" foods as i like during this phase, It will last five days and on the sixth day i will move on to phase two.

I will update daily on what i ate each day and will be weighing my self once a week which will be every Monday and i will keep updates on that also.

Please leave comments if you are dieting to and let me know how its going it a really tough thing and i think support is key to sticking to any diet!

I had an epiphany...

Last weekend i went out for the evening with two of my old friends from school, who may i add are both about 5ft 8 and very slim oh yeah and they are both mums!

It was all perfectly fine until the next day when the pictures debuted on facebook making me feel sick! I could not believe what i saw i knew i had gained weight but not quite that much maybe?

To cut a long story short i had that Briget Jones epiphany moment and knew i had to do something !

Which brings me to now, and right now all the other diets, looks from people who you know are thinking "Cooorr shes put on a bit ent she ?" and wrestles with countless pairs of jeans don't matter.Now all that matters is feeling comfortable and confident again.

So in my quest for getting back to how i want to be i have come across The Dukan Diet which will begin tomorrow but as a goodbye to carbs i will leave you with my fish and chip supper !


(Dont judge me i like beans ok ! )
