I am thankful that today is the last day for the Attack Phase of the Dukan Diet. I’ve had enough hamburger and I am looking forward to having some veggies tomorrow! A turkey is going in the oven tonight and there is a lot of fish and chicken in the freezer. These meats I can handle and I love, so that is good. Tomorrow you will learn all about the Cruise Phase.
Pounds Lost: 1.6 lbs for a total of 3.8 lbs. Tomorrow morning is my last weigh in for the Attack Phase. I’m sure I will be over the 4 lb mark. I wonder what my weight will be?
How I felt today: Today was good because I didn’t go anywhere. I was home, which makes the Attack Phase easier to regulate.
Although I did realize that I need to eat throughout the day so that I don’t get hungry. That is when temptation to eat something “bad” for me comes into play. I did feel hungry once today, but that is because I hadn’t eaten enough to keep me full or I should say enough times throughout the day. Eating a lot of small meals and drinking lots of water through the day keeps me full, but today I just didn’t do that. I will make sure I am eating more and drinking more water too. I think because I didn’t do this it has kind of thrown my day off for eating wise and feeling hungry. I must eat more! With that said, today was a much better day than yesterday. Sorry, no crazy stories for you today.
Todays Menu:
Breakfast: I slept in… so there wasn’t breakfast.
Snack: Did I mention I slept in!
Lunch: Poached egg, chicken strips, and pickles. (We are only allowed to have a certain amount and after that point they are considered a veggie.) I made the chicken strips the night before using the oat bran and herbs as a coating. So this morning I didn’t get to have a galette. Perhaps if we kept a better eye on the chicken strips we would have gotten them out of the oven earlier so they weren’t so dry and crunchy! Next time less cooking time.
Afternoon Snack: I don’t think I really had one – hence the hunger by supper time.
Supper: Seafood chowder
Evening Snack 1: Lemon Meringue fat free yogurt (I still haven’t heard from any of you if there is another fat free flavoured yogurt out there for me!)
Evening Snack 2: Imitation crab
Tomorrow I start the Cruise Phase, as I already mentioned. This I am excited about. I found out that I am working again tomorrow, so I am very glad that I can have veggies in my lunch! I would like to crunch on a veggie right now, but I will wait.
In the evening I will post the final weigh in and about the Cruise phase. I will tell you that in this phase I alternate protein and protein-veggie days. I am limited to certain veggies, which is ok because I like pretty much all of them. To find out what veggies I can and can’t have and more about this phase be sure to look for my update!
What kind of diets have you tried? Did it work for you? Leave me a comment below.

Hm. I guess you did not bond with Harley any further over dropped food. 🙂
I am glad to see you resisted temptation again!
Glad to see you are finished your attack phase! Have I ever tried a diet? I can honestly say that no, not really. I mean, I've done things like switching over to skim milk and cutting down on my meat and increasing my vegetable servings, but not really an official “diet”. I am more inclined to do exercising for loosing weight then following a diet.
Since I went vegetarian 2 years ago, and then vegan last year, I officially lost 30 pounds. It was the easiest 30 pounds I ever lost, and I've been trying for 8 years to lose 50 pounds and now I'm almost there. A few other things I tried along with my lifestyle change, is using smaller plates, thus having smaller portions (I used to eat a lot of food in one sitting), less snacking (unless it's low in calories, or I use portion control) and casually counting calories (so I'm not eating more calories than I can burn off, which on most days is not much). Also exercise helps in weight loss, but I don't do much these days due to school, though I do a lot of walking, which seems to help. 🙂
Corey, there is a lot of temptation resisting and I am glad I am beating it too! 🙂
Paula, switching to healthy choices is a great way to go! A lot goes in to what you eat and exercise. Just remember something that I have to remind myself of often “Just because I am exercising doesn't mean I can eat whatever I want!” I know that doesn't work for me. lol
Paperbackwritre (I do know who you are, but not sure if you want me to use your real name!), that's so awesome! I'm very proud of you! I think that healthy choices in all areas of life is very important! I'm glad you found what works for you. I love seeing your vegan recipes and what you are trying out. Especially your green smoothy. I love putting kale in my smoothies! Thanks for the idea! 🙂
