So, since I ate vegetables yesterday and today, I guess I am officially in protein+veggies territory. For one meal, I ate at a restaurant and had a salad with grilled chicken, dressing on the side. – I lost 0.4 pounds when I got on the scale this morning. – Everything else during the day was pure protein (chicken and fish). That, in a nutshell, is a good example of the discipline possible if you stick to this diet. The interesting thing: A week ago I would have eaten everything served plus several helpings of bread with butter, and it would have been a big calorie meal. And it was a satisfying meal that stuck, pretty much, to a prescribed Dukan protein+vegetable day. I ate the beans, steak (minus the bacon) and the chicken (minus the breading), ignoring the potatoes. I ignored the bisque and dessert, obviously. And there was a big bread basket on the table with all sorts of rolls, bread sticks, etc. On the entree plate were green beans, red potatoes, a filet mignon steak wrapped in bacon and a breaded chicken breast. What they served was a four-course meal that started with Lobster bisque, then a salad with greens, mozzarella cheese and tomatoes plus a vinaigrette dressing. So five days of nothing-but-protein (and oat bran plus lots of water) yielded a five day total of 6.6 lost pounds for me. – As mentioned last week – On the scale this morning I lost 1.6 pounds. At the bottom I have included a menu showing exactly what I ate on day 10 (a pure-protein day) so you can see what a Dukan Diet menu looks like for me. Here is my report on how the first five days of the “cruise phase” has gone. It consists of protein-only days alternated with protein+vegetables days as described here. If you are on the Dukan Diet, this is the phase where you will be until you are down to your target weight.
