Winnie's Dukan Diary

[Winnie C]

It's far more likely to be because you stayed on Attack for too long! You should be eating lots on this diet, just lots of the right things. You can't fail to lose if you follow that simple rule. If you don't eat enough, on the other hand, your body will think you're starving it and your metabolism will slow right down to help you survive.

I understand that I chose the absolute maximum for the attack period - I am not sure yet whether it was a good / bad thing - but unfortunately it is done and I can't go back & change it ! ! X
I am eating in MASSIVE quantites, as i said in my post, so it definately isn't that i am not eating enough infact it is quite the opposite
!! - I do appreciate advice and encourage more (as long as it is helpful advice your offering !)

I think that yesterday i was craving sugar / carbs, feeling a bit down and in need of some encouragement

I am feeling SO MUCH better today. Although I can't help but worry that I won't lose weight when I weigh in on Sunday - mainly because I am eating constantly, it doesn't feel like a diet & I don't feel that I've lost weight.

I don't think i'll cope if i haven't lost weight

Winnie you will be fine, you have had a fab weight loss already, this is a new way of eating, we've gotta be in it for the long haul, some weeks we may do well others not so well. Dont get disheartened, just keep on with it stick to the Dukan friendly foods and write in the diary and drink plenty of water. There is tonnes of advice and recipes to look and there is always somebody to give you some motivation and moral support here. Cx :bighug:

Keep going Winnie, you will find some weeks show fab results on the scales others are equally just as good but dont, I for one know how frustrating that is ........ Dukan is for the long haul, as the good doctor says the cruise phase is all about 'perseverance'

 

[Winnie C]

Ok so 1.1 lbs gone this week -
taking everything into consideration - I am over the moon that in 2 weeks I have lost 9.9 lbs - to be honest i was dreading this morning as I thought I would gain some of the weight lost last week x

so happy & looking forward to my PV day today ! X

I hope that next week is going to bring more weight loss x

 

[CPL]

I have been a bit rubbish with the exercise - but started this morning (30 min brisk walk) as I know it is an integral part of the dukan plan - so absolutely soaked & my little dog has just had a bath XX XX

Can only be a positive thing for the weight loss x

 

[Paulinegin]

Winnie, you're made of sterner stuff than me, going out walking in this DREADFUL weather!

High five for the weightloss too - good work
