Week 1 Review of Dukan Diet

So It's not a proper blog today.  I have a heinous cold and am snotted up good and proper.  It is totally the b/f's fault.  I shouldn't have been so nice to him when he was ill and should have made him sleep in the garden shed.  I do take multivitamins but slightly wonder if my resistance would be higher if I'd had some fruit and fresh veggies in the last 6 days...

Anyway, since I'm feeling a bit grim, I thought I'd do a little review of what has happened over week one of the Dukan.

ATTACK! Day 4 & 5

So on day 4 I felt quite dizzy in the morning, I'm sure it's not lack of fluid, man I have been drinking a lot! I think my body (and mind) must be having protein fatigue.  Honestly, I'm still so new to this diet that I still catch myself unawares with things like, "oh, I'll just have an apple... dammit."  However, the weight is still coming off, so I can't complain too much.  I should be down 6lbs at the end of attack, can't wait!!

ATTACK! day three

I'm still amusing myself by yelling "ATTACK! phase"  Today marks the half way point of attack, three days down, three to go.  Still bang on with the weight loss this morning, less dramatic than yesterday, but still a whole lb down!

I am still resisting eggs & ham but thought I would have some this morning.  However, when rootling about in the fridge I found the b/f's mackerel.  Mmmmm.  So I beat up two eggs, a tbs of quark and shredded some mackerel in. It was fab!  Eggs & quark can be quite rich so the mackerel lends a really nicely decisive smokey fishiness to the whole things which makes in extremely palatable.  Two thumbs firmly up for the this fish dish.

Day Two ATTACK

Hello again!! So, this morning I weighed in at whole kilo lighter, that's a TWO lb. lighter!!  I don't know how or why, but I was thrilled to be on track with the first weigh in after starting the Dukan.  I had a few moments of feeling daunted on the second day, but this is how it panned out:
