Typical Weight Loss on Dukan

[sammyzip50]

HI All,

I wondering what the usual weight loss is on average in attack and cruise?

Thanks

I'm 4.5lbs down after 4 days of attack and, from what I've seen, one pound a day seems to be "the average" (if there is such a thing!)

After the initial water loss in attack (which varies from person to person according to how much water you're retaining - I lost 5lb in 2 days), the average in cruise should be around 1-2lb per week. Of course everyone has weeks where they sts but the weight loss should be steady if you're following the diet.

It also depends on your exercise level. I workout 3-5 times a week for 1-2hours and I've notice my loss gets better the harder my workouts Lots of weight training helps, as you switch muscle for fat which makes your metabolism work faster. Not bulky muscle mind you, lean muscle. I only want to be toned, not a body builder

[SilverSilph]

Lol yeah that's my current plan also finger-crossing :cross:

I will NEVER look like that! Too short for a start and I wouldnt know where to start when it comes to toning up! Also no boobs!

I'm pretty sure I've dropped a cup size or two So couldn't compare in that respect. But I've got her height and I think we've similar bone structure. My plan is sit-ups, crunches, oblique crunches, leg raises, oblique dead lifts and basically any other ab toning and slimming exercise I can find!

My fav our the obilque deadlifts. Our PT had us doing pulses after 300 or so reps and that wass the first time I felt the muscles group burn

[Paulinegin]

The book advises not to do anything too strenuous during ATTACK and that sounds pretty strenuous to this couch potato!!
