ODed on Sugar Free sweets - Diet Update

The diet has been going well. I stalled for four days but realised I wasn't eating and drinking enough so I stepped that up and dropped an extra pound. It's amazing that weight loss stops if you don't eat. I realise your body goes into starvation mode but at some point your body must start using it's fat stores to survive and the weight will drop off? Not that I'm encouraging starvation in any way. The only reason I wasn't eating a lot was because on the Dukan Diet you are eating a lot of protein which zaps your appetite.

One little issue I have with this diet is snacks and unexpected outings. If you do anything remotely unplanned finding food can be difficult. I'm currently in a hotel, I grabbed 3 liters of  bottled water, a whole chicken and Sula Mint Humbugs before I got here. The waters going down great but unfortunately my stomach wasn't keen on the chicken ... so that left the Sula Mint Humbugs and they are sooo moreish! I'm only meant to have 5 sugar free items a day but I have gone over my quota and I'm having a hard time not eating the whole packet. The only thing that's stopping me is my gurgling gut alerting me to the fact that if I have any more I'm going to be on the loo far too many times tonight.

But it's Sula sweets, eat nothing or raid the vending machines downstairs that are full of carb laden goodies. Guess I'll stick to the water then ... and look forward to my buffet breakfast tomorrow.

I'm thinking about doing an overview of the Dukan Diet. Let me know if you'd be interested in that. You can leave comments on here or my Twitter @LouKDBlog.
