And for today:
B/L: 1 dry fried chicken breast, 2 slices smoked salmon
D: about 250g turkey marinated in vietnamese shaking beef (also called luc lac in the book) marinade
S: 5 toffee muffins (my silicone trays are smaller than paper muffin cases so 2 days worth of bran makes 10 muffins)
 
It does actually feel like I'm having a naughty extra one, but hey hum - 2 for breakfast, 1 mid afternoon and 2 for pudding works well for me I think. Made 2 batches today so I'm set for this week - once they're gone I'll go back to galettes for a few days I think.

B: 2 toffee muffins
L: 1 smoked mackerel fillet, 1 pack fridge raiders chicken bites (reduced in sainsburys so thought I'd try), few slices beef jerky
D: About 250g turkey breast fillet dry fried with garlic chilli & herbs
S: 3 more muffins
 
Had a disastrous (as in: nerve-wrecking, OK Dukan-wise) weekend, and have stalled at 210.5 for 3 days, despite the fact that I actually saw purple on the ketostick this morning for the first time in weeks. However, Aunt Constance is back, so I am now fully convinced that in my case constipation is linked to stress and stress only.

xx
 
My menu - PL today

4.5km walk
B: 3 muffins (cube of smoked fish in, 1/3 crab on each - 2 tblspoons oatbran, 1 tblespoon wheatbran)

L: 75g salmon, mini seafood quiche, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, little onions, SKINNY chicken leg...
fat free yoghurt

B: 2 toffee muffins
L: Leftover turkey from yesterday and saturday
D: Rosemary & mint meatballs (about 15 I think) with quark and mint dip
S: Rest of muffins (3) & small bowl sweetened yoghurt
 
Alottolose: The laziest way to eat the gojis is soak them in yoghurt before going to bed, and in the morning I either eat it as it is (or add some sf jelly for flavour), or add the daily dose of oatbran to the mix, and it tastes like muesli. By that time the berries are softer but still crunchy, yummy!

Today had Dukan's oat tabbouleh for the first time, and I think I have discovered a new addiction. He seems to have recommended eating it for 3 consecutive days at lunch in case you are stalling. Hope it helps heh...

Off to the treadmill...
 
Must see if I can find those berries over here... anything that crunches works for me on Dukan!

My menu - PP today

4.8km walk - if it stops raining in next 30 mins
B: 3 muffins (cube of smoked fish in, 1/3 crab on each - 2 tblspoons oatbran, 1 tblespoon wheatbran)

L: 75g salmon, mini seafood quiche, tablespoon cottage cheese, SKINNY chicken leg...
fat free yoghurt

S: sugar free jelly

D: 2 x 100g 5% fat burgers, (dry) fried egg, spoonful fat free fromage blanc
baked egg custard

Today's PV menu - and THANK goodness for a well stocked (Dukan) freezer because my day could have gone belly up with a cancelled lunch today, so nothing planned... and both lettuce and cucumber going off!

4.5km walk to work... getting ever milder so won't bother with scarf and gloves cos they get in the way after a kilometre or so

B: Dukan muffins with smoked salmon in the mixture

L: slice of each beef mince and chicken mince meatloaf with (what I could use of) lettuce, cucumber, couple of cherry tomatoes, little onions, and a skinny chicken leg to gnaw (bought a 5K box of legs and they're ridiculously scrawny!)
Fat free yoghurt

S: sugar free jelly (1/3 sachet)

D: 100g chicken livers, caramelised onion (fry lite, candarel, good non stick pan!), small salad (will stop at greengrocer's tonight)
baked egg custard
