I'm watching my cholesterol so have lots of egg whites, have started using only egg whites in oat bran pancakes and they still taste good!

Now I have looked up this egg debate - and the official advice (not just from the egg producers) is: it's not necessary to limit your egg (yolk) intake unless specifically advised to do so by your doctor. 2-a day is fine in the context of a healthy diet.
Of course if you're trying to keep your general nutritional intake low (like on a PP day in conso / stab) then leaving out the egg yolk may be an idea as it cuts out most of the calorific value and fat/cholesterol content of the egg, but it also cut out most useful nutrients except protein.
A really superficial google search gave me info, mainly from 2009, from the following sources:
NHS:
Egg safety
British Hear Foundation (2011)
British Heart Foundation - Eggs and cholesterol
The Mail online:
Eating two eggs a day could CUT your cholesterol and help you lose weight | Mail Online
AND (these more likely to put a positive spin on things!)
the poultry site:
http://www.thepoultrysite.com/poultrynews/17099/lifting-the-limits-on-egg-intake
British Lion Eggs:
Healthy Egg :: Cholesterol
Of course this diet is not exactly balanced in Attack and Cruise, as far as general nutrition advice goes so hopefully the 5-a week advice from Dukan is based on **some** scientific / medical research????

Hair keratined? That sounds interesting!
The moment there is a drop of water on my hair, it turns into afro head!

I'd like to see pictures of these afro heads!!!
I must admit that this warm muggy weather plays havoc with my hair too as I must sweat through my head/neck while I power walk! Not the best look so I thought I'd go for the shaggy unkempt look at the last wash, and that's little better!
Vickki - have a lovely holiday! Any word from Bren?

Just reviving the chat thread - it seems to have got buried!
Looks like the warm weather's on it's way back at last - I'm not a sunworshipper, but it's unnatural to be wearing jumpers in july!
In other news - I am near the conso half way point. No idea how I'll fit in TWO galas and TWO starch meals. Who'd have thought eating could become such hard work

Sunny here too in South Wales, makes a pleasant change. At least the kids can play out now.
Just been reading your conso posts, it all looks so confusing. My book says two celebration meals and two starch a week from the outset of conso. Are you following an older plan?

Forget what I just said lol I misread it. How the heck are you going to fit all that food in?

** Chief WITCH **
Easy peasy... "in my day", it was like that from the outset... just think how we used to eat "in our previous lives"? Starch + gala every day most likely!!

Joanne that is so true. When I look at what I am eating at the moment compared to the sheer volume I was eating before I cannot quite understand how I wasn't sick !

I unfortunately, while having lost most of my weight, have kept my incredible ability to devour massive quantities of food...
If eating were an olympic sport, I'd be a CHAMPION!
(Protein is very filling, mind... and ketosis helps keep us on the straight and narrow.)
Home time YAY!

Today I'm meeting Mouse from the forum for lunch It's actually our fourth meeting. We first met 18 months ago in my Dad's home town in the UK, then at her home (with Scrumper), then again in my Dad's home town, and this time she's in France on holiday
I'll be taking her to a Dukan friendly place, more for me than her this time!
