So grateful to Dr. Dukan!

[CaledoniaDreaming]

Today I have bought two pairs of size 8 jeans from Next, one bootcut and one super-skinny(!), and I can comfortably fit into both
For anyone who is at the start of their Dukan journey, I just wanted to say "This TRULY works!". I have never tried any diet before but have followed the Dukan way of eating since January 1st 2011 and have lost 100lbs. I had got to thinking that I was so heavy that somehow I couldn't be slim again, and would eat even more to cheer myself up . With Dukan, I am never hungry and feel much healthier with the food I am eating. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Dukan.

We can do it, we just need to believe in ourselves...and eat more protein

Glad if it helped, if you get TOTM sweet cravings try meringue, muffins or a big bowl of stewed rhubarb and yoghurt - these all help me anyway!

Thanks CD. Meringue sounds like a great idea! I had some diet coke this evening which helped. I don't normally drink fizzy drinks but it took the edge off!

I'm adding my own: "Thank You, Dr Dukan and Minimins forum!"

wow what a post, thanks for sharing it does help inspire those of us as the begining of the journey.

What would you say was the one thing that kept you going, did you have an end goal or was it something like health.

I've just realised I am probably suffering TOTM sugar cravings, didn't actually put two and two together til you just said it, LOL.

Congratulations.

It was our health that kick-started it: my blood pressure started causing concern and it was the wake up call that I needed. That's why I chose Dukan as after researching different ways of losing weight I believed this was the healthiest way and for our long-term health too: oats, lean protein and lots of veg is not faddy, it's sensible.

Oh, as a matter of interest - one month into Dukan my blood pressure had lowered enough that they reduced how often they wanted to check it. This time last summer my BP was 145/101 and yesterday it was 118/84!! (And I'm a caffeine-addict)
