Finally dropping some pounds

I've now been on the Dukan Diet approximately two weeks and it's going well! I'm not surprised the diet works, I'm surprised I'm sticking to it as I've had some major epic fails this last year.

BUT that was 2014 and in 2015 I'm doing good. I couldn't bear to look at my initial starting weight, that could have led to a meltdown and pizza consumption. So after week one I went on the scales and dealt with the reality. A reality which I'm not putting in my blog, no one needs to see that!

I've lost 5lbs in my second week so I must have lost at least that in my first. I'm feeling OK, my appetite has vanished which is a good side-effect of eating a high protein diet.

I've moved from the initial Attack Phase (total protein) to Cruise Phase (alternating between total protein days and protein plus veg days) and finally found somewhere that sells Oat Bran so I can have a couple of tablespoons a day.

There are a multitude of websites out there with recipes and advise so I've been having a look at a few, getting a view ideas. Ideas are very much needed because I will be doing this diet for many many months so really need to learn how to make chicken breasts more interesting. Here are some of the great sites I've found:

• http://www.dukandiet.co.uk/ - THE Dukan Diet website for the UK
• http://thedukandietsite.com - Amber knows everything about the Dukan Diet
• http://mydukandiet.com/ - great layout, easy to use site
