You'd be surprised... some of my PP plates surprise even me! Some people put "chicken" and eat I presume a decent quantity thereof. I, however, get bored eating a decent quantity of one food*, so I tend to have a little of several things. Several proteiny things. Which don't necessarily compliment each other!
* diet food... that comment does not count where carby foods are concerned, where my appetite knows no boundaries!

what's the strangest uncomplimentary combination of diet food you've had Jo? x

Well, in my previous life, I wouldn't have contemplated having a 5% fat "burger" with a runny fried egg and a spoonful of fromage blanc on the same plate!
Or any day when we have, say, chicken and steak! Instead of chicken + veg; steak and salad...
Brownie - sorry that we've been camping out in your diary chatting... we'll clear up our mess as we leave!

I actually DO put yoghurt in my mashed veg!
Plain yoghurt, though, or fromage frais. Makes it taste lovely and creamy!
I also enjoy sausage rolls with butter and strawberry jam on the top. (Not whilst on Dukan, obviously.)

Am I wrong to imagine that it might actually taste quite nice? (I love sweet and savoury mixed.)

You are quite welcome to hijack the thread
Personally up until I started the diet I never ate red meat, ever. Now I quite look forward to having steak, and yes, like you say steak with chicken or prawns or whatever!
The Garlic Chilli chicken is beyond simple: I just use the Schwartz Garlic Italian Blend plus some extra chilli flakes. You can use it as a rub and grill it, or lightly stir fry.
Usually I would add some tomato puree and the lowest fat soft cheese or fromage frais for a pasta-style sauce but I'm being more strict at the moment.
Some of the Schwartz blends do contain some not-allowed ingredients, but they're in a really negligible quantity and only around a teaspoon is necessary.
As for the swede... I figure it is along the same lines as the rules regarding carrots: Fine to have, but not with every meal. Usually I make a puree it with yoghurt and spice and use it as the base of a korma-style sauce. It's actually really good, it's not even like a diet version, great if you miss Indian food!
Yesterday:
Breakfast: Oatbran Galette

Absolutely serious!
When I was a little girl, we used to have a lovely tea on Saturday afternoons - with a sandwich, slice of homemade pie, homemade cake, etc - and it was all put onto one plate. (We're weren't very posh!)
Anyway, my sausage roll was next to a fruit scone with butter and jam and some rubbed off onto it. It tasted delicious! And from that moment on, I was pretty much hooked.

Don't do it! Once tried, you'll be forever craving them. Just like I am now.

Exercise: Running
Haven't weighed myself since the weekend. Feeling like I wake up slimmer, but then change my mind after breakfast!
Wondering about trying 5 days PP/PV as referenced in the book, instead of 1 day PP/PV. Maybe I ought to up my exercise more, or modify it

You'll never poo again!
Sorry but the 5/5 is terrible for that, and only recommended for really hefty people at the outset of their diet. Perhaps your body is telling you you're there?
I see 2 x galettes - splitting the mix in two and eating little for breakfast?

I also think that the 5/5 would be horribly difficult to keep up because of the long stretches of PP, restricting variety. Imagine having to go back onto Attack every 5 days - eek!
Maybe something like 2/2 might be a better compromise?

Yes, I split the mix for two galettes, but save the majority for breakfast.
For the main duration of the diet I had porridge for breakfast but get far less hunger pangs if I have the galette.
Maybe 2/2 would be a better compromise!
I know there's a chance that I am at an 'ideal' weight now, but I want to get back to what I was before I got ill, before Christmas.
It's driving me crazy that I am so close though, another 7lbs shouldn't be that difficult!
Yesterday:
SO hungry yesterday!
Breakfast: Oatbran Galette
Snack: Yoghurt
Dinner: Garlic Chicken and with Spinach, Leeks and Mushrooms... and then a home made steak burger!
Snack: Yoghurt
Snack: Oatbran Galette and small fruit yoghurt
Exercise: Boring bike again, for an hour this time.
Probably having way too much yoghurt, but for the most part this is plain yoghurt just with sweetner.

How much dairy total, do you think? (galette included)
