Day 7 of Dukan Diet
Down five whole pounds and 3 inches after six straight days of Dukan!
Wait, that's not true - I did crumble over the weekend. On Saturday night I ate about 1/2 cup of pasta salad (made with oil & vinegar, not the creamy kind), as well as 4 1" pieces of bread. The bread. Was. AWESOME. In spite of my goof that night, I did manage to stay at the same weight, and didn't have any gain on the scale.
On Sunday I had 1/2 cup of Caesar salad as well as a piece of chocolate cake about 3"x3"x1". Not sure how it happened, but I was down another pound this morning, for a total weight loss of 5lbs. The last time I did my measurements, I had lost a total of 3 inches (half inch off the bust, 1" off the waist, 1" off the bellybutton, and a half inch off my hips.)
My biggest challenge has been finding and creating new ways to get the protein into my system. If it weren't for fat free cream cheese, cottage cheese, and yogurt, I'd probably lose my mind.
Can't wait to see 10lbs lost - should happen in another couple of weeks. I have less than 20lbs to go to reach my all time ultimate goal, which is intimidating on one hand, but a huge relief on the other.

Dukan Oat Bran Omelette
Day 5 of the Dukan Diet, and I'm getting creative. I made this one up this morning. Great for the Attack phase - pure protein and includes your daily portion of oat bran.
1 egg white
1 egg, separated
3 tbsp fat free cottage cheese
2 tbsp finely diced onion
1 tsp diced garlic
1.5 tbsp oat bran
Freshly ground pepper
2 tbsp fat free sour cream
1. Combine both egg whites and beat till fluffy.
2. Mix remaining egg yolk until thick, then add cottage cheese, onion, garlic, oat bran, and pepper.
3. Fold into egg whites until combined.
4. In a non stick pan heat over low-medium heat until cooked through.
5. Top with fat free sour cream, more pepper or seasonings, and serve.
Yum! It's a Dukan version of a savory Pannenkoek!
PS: Down 4 pounds and 1.5 inches in five days! Woo!

Dear Pierre Dukan
Here, have a chocolate eclair. It's on me.
No, wait - it's OFF me. Booyah!
I started this diet hovering around 138. I did get as low as 136, but then I'd kind of bounce back up. I've been trying to lose 40ish lbs since Princess P was born in Feb 2011. I'm now 3.5 months postpartum and have lost a grand total of 36lbs - and three of those were in the past three days!
And it's because of this awesome notion, the Dukan Diet. I have been on the diet for 4 days (I'm on Day 4 now) and have lost a total of 3lbs and 1.5 inches. That was enough to take me down a full dress size (according to the Bill Levkoff size chart, which is just the yardstick I picked out to get an idea of how many pounds it takes to lose a size.)
To put this into perspective, when I got pg with Boy Wonder, I would have had to order a size 18. I lost a whack of weight, and when I got pg with Princess P I would have had to order a size 8. Now I would have to order a size 10.
I'm only one size away! Yeeeeeeee ha!
I weighed in yesterday at 134, and did again today - which prompted me to check my measurements. I am thrilled. I have another 2-3 days on the Attack phase, then I get to move into Cruise (alternating pure protein days with protein and veg days) for the month of June. I really seriously think that I'm going to hit goal weight of 125 long before my 30th birthday at the end of August. I'm so excited.
Thanks again, Pierre!
