A visit from my parents promted two weeks of solid dieting – my father joined the dukan diet and it was nice to have everyone eat the same things.
Managed to shift 2.5kg in those two weeks. Considering my longterm and recent health issues it is actually a good result. And this is something that I struggle with – accepting the fact that I’m not loosing the weight as fast as I would like. However slowly I’m starting to be more happy with this slow but steady success.
Still being a bit flakey with the eating habits. But a good day basically gets rewarded with 0.6kg less. Very motivating if only didn’t have so much stresfull things going on at the moment. But things should stabilize soon.
Breakfast:
Ham and cream cheese (5% philadelphia) dukan sandwitch (dukan bread from oatbran, really easy to make)
Kefir (0% dairy drink)
Lunch:
Grilled chicken breast and pastrami
Dinner:
Chicken curry
Last week has been a bit up and down, still managed to go down by 1kg though.
Decided to try 1/1 for a week to see if it might be easier to stick to, especially as I qualify under the female with hormonal problems category 
Today I had
- oat bran muffins
- roast chicken leftovers
- fried chicken leftovers with mushrooms and peppers and onions
- diet coke, tea & water
I found that roasted (well, cooked in the oven) whole chicken is a great dish and can save you some money too. You can first have the roast chicken, then you can use the bones for soup, and the leftover meat can be used for 1-3 more meals (and that’s two people eating…) depending on the corpus size.
These leftover bits work great as a diet stir fry with veggies or filling for oat bran pancakes.
Considering my quite monotonous choice of meals I’ve decided to do cycle updates, rather than yet again admit I’ve had chicken breast for breakfast, lunch and dinner…
As you can see my progress has not been all that smooth. Admittedly the big hill at the begining is a slight moment of indulgence… But one hickup is not going to stop me… oh, no! Even despite this little issue, both phases ended with a loss, slight but nevertheless.
One thinkg I have been wondering about is how does Dukan’s diet relate to PCOS. The low carb part definitely is beneficial, however it woudl be interesting to know if other people withthis condition do experience slower weight loss as well. Or maybe it’s just me and the fact I’ve been living on semi-low-carb for quite a lot of time.
