The Dukan Diet

[Nicolette]

We are sitting here cracking up laughing realising how this diet works... you eat so much protein that the thought and smell of food makes you sick. We cooked a roast beef and the smell turned us off. All we can eat is oat bran, beef, seafood and chicken (only have to do two days first up) and we are both struggling. I love rainbow trout and even the smell of that last night was sickening as only allowed garlic and onion and they just don't go with it. Bring on bed time!!

 

[Nicolette]

Eeww.... I feel so sick

 

[Nicolette]

Anthony - just swap the fruit for protein


and his view on protein...

 

[anthony]

Damn skippy... f*ck protein. I can't wait to get off this first phase and second phase... into the third where more normal food can be introduced again.

FYI - be sure to consume plenty of water and make sure you're getting enough potassium. Consider a multivitamin. High Protein / Low Carb will cause your body to shed the water weight and with it potassium. The muscle cramps from that are a bitch. Best of Luck!

 

[Nicolette]

It's only for two days piratelady and we are on day two.... thank heavens!

 

[anthony]

The first two days are protein only, then each day alternates between protein only and protein + vegetables (salad as well). I plan on pigging out on those days... it says I can eat as much as I want, so I plan to make up for it on those yummy days. :cautious:

Sorry but when I first saw this I read it as the Dunkin diet.

Had visions of you Dunkin everything from bread to donuts :roflmao:

 

[Nicolette]

Stop teasing Amethist... neither of us can contemplate eating food though hungry... grosse! Donuts... I don't know after eating those pancakes this morning. Initially they tasted great; now the thought of any food makes me want to hurl.

That pancake sound rather nice, wish it was dairy free.:rolleyes:

No way could I do that diet Mr Dukan should be Ducan't!

Well, the first two days worked, I'll give it that. Lost more than 1kg, and there was no shortage of drinking, so it wasn't fluid. It strips the weight on protein days it seems.
