My Dukan Diet Diary
Read all about my weeks on the Dukan Diet, I've kept a history of everything I have eaten on this diet, documented my failures and successes. I hope you find my dukan diary both entertaining and informative.
My weight-loss goals are:
- 69.9kg (a loss of 3.6kg from Dukan starting weight)
Achieved this on the 19/7/2010 at the end of week 4 - 65kg (a loss of 8.5kg from dukan starting weight)
- 60kg (a loss of 16.5kg from dukan starting weight)
I am 163cm tall and 26 yrs old. The heaviest I have ever been is 76.5kg, the lightest 58kg.

Good Morning My Aussie Inspiriation:
If you open my website, it is NON related to Dukan but yet it is and so are you.
My official book launch is on June 11th and I MUST LOSE WEIGHT to look great.
I thought the Dukan Diet dangerous but read and read and read again your journey.
I have come up with a menu plan of my own (thanks in part to you) and start TOMORROW.
Send me your e mail address and I will happily send you my Meal Plan.
God Bless......stay safe and stay happy

Hi Liz, I think your body is telling you it needs to move to the next stage. 3 weeks on Attack is probably way too much, more is not always better. You might just be starving your body.

hello, I have been on this diet a few times but i can't seem to get past the first stage. I always lose about 3-4 kilos but then i can't get the motivation to keep going and i always end up going back to normal food and putting on weight again

I have been on attack for 5 days, though i fell off the wagon yesterday and gave in to Frosties with ice cold milk! i had to. 3 days of cold turkey rattling for carbs wasnt nice. i felt really guilty the next day and now back on track again. i have moved onto the next phase and just had a light salad, and that really helps! i find that keeping your own blog helps. Though this site has been great. Keeping me focussed as i was ready to give in last night! I havent lost an enormous amount, only 3lb in five days but im going to keep on with it. It doesnt help that i have an underactive thyroid gland i suppose!

Hello from Ireland. I have just started today and I'm not having a problem with protein consumption. Little head ache but what the heck. Very excited reading the Dukan diet life plan book and all the recipes. 2 stone to shift and I have been a serial yo yo dieter. Your blog is super and so personal. Loving it. Feels like I could be chatting to a friend. Losing weight on your own can be lonely at the best of times. I'm in the zone now. :)

Hi debbie! there are heaps of great receipies online! im so surprised how much stuff u can eat on pp days! i make dukan muffins (see link below) every 2 days and tuck into them when peckish, the oatbran in them is filling and u can also make nice icing by mixing light sour cream (i use weight watchers brand) and sugarless (lower calorie sugar substiture) and it reallys tames the cravings! i also mix oatbran and LSA (avail at coles, safetway etc, grided mix of linseed sunflowe and almonds) into jalna fat free yoghurt, u can also add a drop of vanilla/coconut essence or fat free cocoa to vary it up a bit..also try adding low fat bacon, chicken/turkey/salon into omelettes along with herbs, so yummy and keeps u full for hours and hours, (more than a whole grain cereal thats for sure!!) good luck ,...http://mydukandiet.com/recipes/chocolate-oat-bran-muffins.html

Hi there! Two months ago, my mother and I were following the dukan diet and I lost 7 lbs. in 5 days (on the pp) and Mom lost 9 lbs! she felt deprived of nutrients and i broes out in blackheads on my face (I usually have a clear complection). We drank a LOT of water and that helped to eliminate the toxins but I don't understand why I broke out? Have you ever heard of something like this?
Since then I stopped the DD and re-gained the weight Plus a little extra. I now am starting with it again today. Hopefully the breakout was a one time thing!

Quark and fat free fromage frais are hard to find in the regular Cole and Woolworths in Australia. I often substitute cottage cheese, ricotta cheese or non fat yoghurt depending on the recipe :)

Cath - I found that I had to do exercise every day..a walk or 30mins on a treadmill. The days I did I lost and when I was slack I stayed the same....Don't quit!! This diet really does work...
