Hi Chere, I use the natural Stevia sweetener its plant based. I am wary of aspartame.
The beef stock is a power from Continental. It does have a small amount of rice flour in it but the amount I use shouldn't make too big of a difference.

Amazing sauce. So many dukan recipes are not nice, this is great and I will try it with chicken next, and with a little onion on a pp day. Thank you!

THIS was a godsend! I don't know why i've not made it until now, when i've been on this diet for about 3 months (on and off - as life throws things at you lol). I'm not sure by having this if it's slowed my loss but honestly, right now i don't care lol It was a flavor sensation to my tired bored taste buds. Definitely better with chicken though. All i can say is YUM!!!

OMG this was great! I was cooking the steaks on the BBQ so skipped the pan drippings step--it was still delicious. Thanks!

Started the dukan diet and within 3 days lost 1.9 kgs. I have so much energy esp since giving up energy drinks (very ironic). I want to lose a further 13 kgs to get down to a size 8-10. Reciepes are great

Thank you so much for compiling some recipes for this, I'm glad there are people out there more creative than I am. You mentioned that you use Stevia, was that in this recipe? The stevia I have is very strong, it seems like 1tsp would be a lot.

Ok probably me being mathematically ignorant, but 125 g of cream cheese equals how many tablespoons?

We had this sauce last night with t-bone steak without the mushrooms as it was a pure protein night. It was delicious. Can't wait to try it with the shrooms on some chicken. Thankyou for sharing your recipes. I am running out of ideas to keep the meals interesting.

I'm really struggling. I've kept to the diet. I've been having oat bran for breakfast with fish for lunch and chicken or fish for dinner. I've been doing it 3 days and have gained weight not lost it. I feel very disheartened right now

Wow! I altered the recipe by using chicken stock as I wanted the sauce to go with roast chicken. The sauce was absolutely amazing!
Thank you :)

Hiya, I am on day three of the Attack Phase. I'll be honest. I am in struggle town. I think I'm losing the weight slowly because I've been too put off by pure protein I barely feel like eating. Or is the pure protein being very affective and minimising my appetite? All in all. Thank you so much for this recipe. I am very much looking forward to dinner tonight!

Hi Alyssa,
Protein is very filling and takes longer to digest. Have you measured yourself? Sometimes the weight loss won't show up on the scales but maybe you lost an inch?
