My journey

The Dukan method is simple and concise. If you follow the instructions, you WILL lose weight at a consistent pace.

Attack Phase - rapid weight loss while eating from a list of 72 pure proteins+1 1/2 tbsp oat bran daily+fat free dairy
Cruise Phase - consistent weight loss at a slower pace adding in 28 different vegetables (oat bran upped to 2 tbsp daily)
Consolidation Phase - after you lose all your excess weight, fruits, cheese & whole grain breads are added back in, even 2 meals a week where you eat anything you want.
Stabilization Phase - for life with only a few rules to follow-Pure Protein Thursdays, 3 tbsp oat bran daily, walk daily & forget elevators/escalators exist while eating what you want

In all phases, one is allowed to eat as much of anything allowed of protein & vegetables as is desired. No calorie counting, no measuring, no weighing of food. It's that simple!

I can do this with God's help!

Start at the beginning

I feel like I want to attempt this even though I'm not sure that anyone will even find me. I just need to write about this experience as I go.

I started the Dukan Diet on October 2nd, 2010. I had previously lost 25 pounds on the Atkins Diet, but got stuck on a plateau that lasted and lasted. I even gained back a few pounds, so something else had to be done!

I believe that this way of eating will be for the rest of my life, and I don't have a problem with it. The diet is very satisfying and I feel great at the same time. I am hoping that when I go for the next doctor's visit, there will be a much improved Becky there with great lab values to prove it! That will happen in December, so I have about a month more to work on getting more pounds off.

I want to lose 82 pounds, and so far have lost 37. In October alone after I started Dukan, I lost 15 pounds. A great way to start! I am very pleased and can't wait to see what I end up looking like when I reach my goal.

To God Be the Glory!
