Day 1 - 24th July 2010

1:10pm

Weighed in: this morning @85kgs. Will take measurements tomorrow. I will make Sundays my official weigh in & measurement day.

Ok.. so I purchased The Dukan Diet book yesterday, and stocked up the kitchen with all the high protein necessary foods - fruche (fromage frais), yogurt, low-fat custard, poultry, eggs, lean ham & turkey slices.. and I need to get my hands on some oat bran - off to do a big fortnightly shop soon!
I'm aiming to stick to the 'Attack Phase' for 5-7 days.. hoping 5 will be enough. So far today I have consumed the following:

Brekky:
Large tumbler of water - 500ml
1 hard boiled egg mashed with curry
1 yoplait forme yogurt (cheesecake flavour)
Few slices of shaved 98% fat free ham
2x cups of coffee with skim milk

Feeling ok.. not hungry.. in good spirits.

Lunch:
Water.
Small bowl of Pauls 99% fat free custard
Lge Skim Capp from McDonald's (damn it! - Ate a spoonful of chocolate sprinkled froth, disposed of rest of froth.. note to self - ask for latte next time!)
1 Breast Piece of Woolies Roast Chicken

So.. I went and done the shopping (a 90min round trip in the car).. was tired by the end of it and realised the custard for lunch wasn't enough to satisfy prior to leaving home. So I brought a bbq chook from Woolies and had a piece of breast.. nice.. filled me in no time. Also chewed on some sugar free gum on the way home.. that Wrigley's Tropical 5 flavour.. good :)

Thinking of making chicken meatballs for dinner.. we'll see.

10.15pm - Update

Dinner:

More water. So the chicken meatballs didn't happen.. decided just to pick at the bbq chook instead and then cook up Dukan Oatbran Galette.. not bad.. quite nice actually. Oh... I had some more custard too.. and finished of the remaining fruche from making the galette.


Today I have become aware of how I shovel crap into my mouth without even been concious of it.. the capp froth & again tonight when making pasta for my daughter I managed to throw a few pieces in my mouth without a second thought!

Overall, today I found it quite easy.. not a struggle.. I think the fact that I can consume coffee gets me through it :) I have managed to drink approximately 2lts of water today.. that is nothing new for me though.. I've always loved to drink lots of water.
