Now approaching the evening of day 4, I am meant to stop the attack phase after 5 days but I am going to continue until I reach the 7 days mark. The reason being is that it's my boyfriends birthday coming up and there is no way to avoid the family meal at a restaurant. I have had a look at the menu and by this stage I will be on the protein and veg day, the least sinful out of all the items on the menu, baring in mind most come with chips and I do not want to be asked by family members why I am not eating the chips, so I have to be smart and choose an item that has healthy sides.
My choice- Duck breast on spinach and sweet onion rosti with butternut squash
I know following Dukan that duck is not allowed as it is a fatty meat, however the need to avoid chips is more important as I actually worry if I did have chips, I would fail on this diet.
Day 4 has been pretty good, I have read on other blogs that day 4 can be quite tough, make it or break it scenario but I have been steadfast which is great.
Today I ate-:
Breakfast
Oat bran galette- which I thought was simply revolting however I ate it all I will not make this again.
Dinner
2 egg omelette with only one yolk, turkey breast slices and some turkey sausage. I felt really full after this which is a sign that my stomach has got used to the lack of food.
Snacks
Smooth vanilla fat free muller light yogurt
1 seafood stick {Please take note of the carb content in this item, do not over indulge!}
Liquid
1 tea with Soya milk no sugar
2 liters of flavored water
Misc
Multi-vitamin tablet (in regards to this, try and split the vitamin in 2 and take half in morning and then half again in the evening. The reason is because if you take the whole vitamin in the morning, some of the vitamins get peed out and therefore you haven't got the whole use out of it.)
I have an app on my phone which calculates calories, as with any of these devices it is a gauge only.
I have eaten 685 calories today.
This morning I weighed 74.7kg, as ever though weight fluctuates throughout the day. I'm steadying off at around 75kg.
Now I am off to do a 20min walk which should take me to 80cal less.
