Isn't that funny how we miss fruit when we have cut it out but, as I constantly remind myself, I certainly put [cream cakes, bread and LOTS of other things besides] in front of fruit when "off diet"!!
Yes I think a more balanced food intake is necessary to hope to ever stabilise a loss after a vlcd and/or low carb diet. I like the way of eating with Dukan, as I love eating chicken, steak, prawns and salmon without restriction, but it's not "real life"...
and once the "strawberry" call becomes too strong, I'll be there! (Fortunately, over here, the strawberries aren't as good as back home - except the gariguette ones which cost a fortune!!)
