Hello everybody, I am now on week 5 of my recovery after having my appendix out and starting to feel like my old self. Up until a few days ago I haven't been able to exercise without pain. I did a 1.5km jog without pain a few days ago and a zumba dvd, so things are looking up. I am really surprised about how much fitness and muscle I have lost over the 5 weeks.
Before stopping the diet my body was on a plateau and I am hoping by having this break I will have really good results when I start the diet up again. I am planning to start next Thursday and do an attack for at least 4 days. I would like to hit the magical 65kg goal this month. And I would LOVE to be about 62kg-60kg by the start of November (2 months away) for my holiday to Thailand. It all sounds achievable, just need to regain my focus! I will start updating this site again as of next thursday and here's hoping I can stick to it :)
Day 42 Thursday 9th September |

| Weight: 68.4kg | |||||||||||||||
| Phase: Attack |

| Well the day has come to rejoin this diet, the past 6 weeks has been a nice break, I managed to stay under my finishing weight of 69kg. But my Thailand holiday is fast approaching and I'm running out of time. I'm going to approach the diet a little differently this time, mainly the exercise part, last time I was already really active and doing 40 mins of cardio a day, so I found it hard to increase that as the diet went on. This time I have been pretty inactive over the past 6 weeks, and I am going to introduce exercise more slowly and hopefully loose more weight faster. Also if I plateau I will be able to increase my cardio to get through it. Wish me luck, Dukan Diet take two! |

| Phase: Attack |

| No loss today, but that is to be expected (that time of the month). I stuck to the diet perfectly yesterday and didn't give in to the tempting wedges and party food at a birthday or the alcohol, go me! I expect to see a big loss in a few days when my body goes back to normal. |

| Phase: Attack |

| Yay a loss today, that brings it to 1.1kg in 3 days! Yesterday I managed to get through a picnic on the beach without eating anything not allowed on the diet, go will power. I have been finding the attack phase easier this time around, I guess because I have a few recipes up my sleave now and I have a big breakfast this time as well.. Going out shopping today was challenging, all I could smell was doughnuts and cappuccinos! I stayed strong though! I was going to only do the Attack phase for four days, today being the last day but I might keep going till I get into the 66's, that will be my lowest weight yet. |

| whoo 66's that was easy! ha, man the attack phase is soo good, should I keep going for one more day or get some salad? Hmm I'm a bit bored of the food will see how I feel at lunch time. So happy to be my lightest weight yet on this diet and a 1.6kg loss in 4 days blows my mind, even if it is fluid I dont mind :) My birthday is on the 24th of this month, I'd love to be at my second milestone of 65kg for my birthday, 11 days to loose 1.8kg hmm it will be tight! | |||||||||||||||

| Phase: Protein |

| Yay still in the 66's that means it has been a real loss, goodie! I never trust the weight till I see it two days in a row. I'm wearing some shorts today that were given to me years ago and I could never squeeze into them, they are now too big! I like wearing things a little too big now, it feels nice not to be squeezing into anything! |

Can you eat normal porridge as part of this diet? Or just oatbran porridge? Thanks - its all really useful for those just starting out.
