LOL! I like my boss - I had a few health issues* last year which included falling asleep almost mid-sentence during a team meeting.
All he did was push my chair gently towards the corner so I wouldn't loll over and stick a jacket under my head. A cup of tea (with a lot of ribbing) was waiting when I came too...

I'm sorry about the health issues, but am very amused at this nonetheless. I have been known to take a "power nap" at lunch - when overweight, never now funnily enough - but the dribbling usually woke me up! Or the darned phone!

Thursday
Breakfast: 2 egg omelette
Lunch: Cottage cheese, sliced cold chicken and ham
Dinner: steak and kidney stew, galette.
Snack: Oh dear. There was an unplanned 9 hour gap between lunch and dinner, and nothing to fill it....
At 7pm I broke down, and ate a handful of roast mixed nuts...
The scales haven't moved for 8 days now, which is par for the course at this time of the month, but is still always pretty nervewracking.

Where did you find those nuts?!!
I'm really sorry... are you still in ketosis? doubtful :-(

Sugar free jelly - I think the website said "two a day" (which is as clear as mud, so I presumed they meant the "made up" pots rather than two of the sachets... not something I'd OD on, but love nonetheless!

No errors I can see there (provided you raised your oatbran to 2 tablespoons, and you're not having more than 250ml milk with it). At your current weight, you could (should?) be eating plenty of protein. Perhaps up the protein a little? The "ham" needs to be restricted, as strictly speaking the French version of the diet doesn't allow it. Ham is salty and often sweetened with nasties, so keep for an emergency.
Looking good! Add in a multivitamin pill and lots of water.

Thanks maintainer :hug99:
I have been taking multivitamin since I started and usually drinking 2L water per day. was worried bout muller lights because they are my lifesaver as a pudding especially whilst craving chocolate because of totm. The ham is lean 19 cals per slice and only have 3...but yes will watch that intake thanks Also yes upped my oatbran but wasnt measuring milk so will check that!
Didnt know you could have sugar free jelly either! so thats good pudding choice! dont usually have a sweet tooth until I started dukan...now crisps and things dont bother me but do crave a good dessert!
Forgot to say aswell i seasoned and grilled some chopped up turkey and snack on that throughout the day when feeling peckish which isnt often now surprisingly.
Do you stay in ketosis after attack? How can you tell if you are in it?
Sorry really want to get this right!

At the outset, Mullers shouldn't cause you any angst, leastwise not just one a day. If, in the future, you find your weight loss slowing or stalling, then you can look at your dairy. But at your current weight, one a day is fine.
With the ham, check the fat content, and label for sugar etc rather than calories which we don't count here.
You know you're in ketosis if (a) you've bad breath; (b) you're not hungry; (c) you're feeling euphoric (possibly sleeping less badly?), and sometimes all of the above! You also say you're not very hungry now, which is a GREAT sign!
Some diets recommend weeing on a stick, but you really don't need to, and Dukan doesn't mention them even.
If you check out our menu thread here, there are loads of ideas which might give you tips. Also our recipe threads.
If you dont yet have a diary, perhaps open yourself a post in the Diary section and tell us all about yourself We won't tell a soul!

I'm a lot like you, Lots2lose, in that I really do need my puds. I enjoy the chocolate crèmes from the Dukan book and make several little pots at a time for freezing. However, I understand that not everyone finds the recipe to be a success.
It's also nice and satisfying to end your meal on a sweet note. Helps you to feel that you're not missing out too much on anything.
