lillybettybabs Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Now i have never been or needed to go on a diet before, I cam normally eat what i want as long as i stay active. Turning 37 i have noticed a small spread forming around arms and tummy so after a lot of research i have bought a seconded hand book on Dr Dukan Diet. has anyone tried it? I need something that doesn't leave me hungry as i will start to shake so hopefully a high protein one will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I once tried the South Beach Diet, Karen... mainly as my boss at the time was on it and he needed support It was really good, but I am finding the 5:2 one easier to follow and the weight loss faster. You know of my love for cooked breakfasts and cake so it has to be easy for me to follow or I just won't stick to it. Good luck and we'll swap notes on Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 2lb loss after one day! I know it will be water but being female that's still great news. Meals are filling me up and i have plenty of energy. I made some wraps out of oat bran, egg and yogurt for a bread substitute, i filled them will steak and had a yogurt mint dressing with it for tea last night. I have ordered a second hand recipe book for puddings etc. No shaking which is great news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lillybettybabs Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 I've just made some little baked lemon cheese cakes with oatbran as the base, the taste sooooo creamy you wouldn't think it was made with 0 fat yogurt and cream cheese.

lillybettybabs Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Another 1lb lost which is great! The cheese cake was an experiment with what i had in the cupboards, I only made 8 cup cake holders full so i will need to work out a recipe for a full cheese cake.
