Dukan Diet Attack phase Day 3

I just started the Dukan Diet a few days ago, I won't lie, it has been a very hard beginning to the journey but definitely worth it!

I decided to do the Dukan Diet as previously my attempts to weight loss have flopped.. This time I have set timescales, a lot of rules to follow and it provides a template for me to keep up which leaves me more prepared.

No carbs- it is hard but after day 2 you don't really crave that potato or bread etc. My saving grace has been Muller Light yogurts, however there is a lot of wavering about whether these are allowed or not, I have 1 vanilla or toffee yogurt a day and no more. It provides a sweetness that is lacking in the rest of the protein packed foods.

What really has wowed me is the loss I've had so far, 4.4Ibs, that is crazy!

The first day on Dukan I couldn't do the 20min walk that Dr Dukan prescribes, I was shattered and my body was too tired with the adjustment. Ever since though I have been keeping up with the walking- roughly 20min which is 1 mile and 80cal lost. I go a fairly easy pace as with the lack of calories I do not want to over do my body. I have roughly 500-600 calories a day, this is not watching what I eat and I know this probably isn't enough but it's hard to eat just purely protein every day, it gets sickening.

I had a very sore head on the first two days, I was constantly tired and grouchy. Today however I have been good except for a bit of tiredness later in the day.

I did what some people may think is the impossible, I went shopping today in Asda, walked passed all the lovely tempting outlawed foods and only got Attack phase items. I mean there was fresh bread, and the cooked items, and pizzas and all sorts.... pat on the back for being so strong I think!

I also had to cook this evening for my boyfriend and I. I cooked mini steak, I had mine with turkey slices and some yogurt sauce, my boyfriend had his with onions, mushrooms, peppered sauce and curly fries. I absolutely adore mushrooms, nearly broke my heart giving him them all, but I did and now I feel all the stronger for it.

To people thinking about starting this diet- be under no illusions it is very difficult, but if you want to break the habit of a lifetime and turn your life around, this diet is perfect. Battle through, read some of the inspirational blogs on here and kick ass!
