Grandma, I'm 50 next month and still in the thick of M I finished attack stage yesterday after 4 days and have lost an amazing 7 pounds in a week, started my own diet last Saturday then switched to this as it was recommended by a friend who has lost over 2 stones and looks great. It really does work. I have started cruise today, I intend to eat PV for 3 days then face PP again.
Today, I have eaten the oat bran with skimmed milk, some bacon with the fat taken off, a quorn sausage, 2 egg scrambled, mushrooms and tomatoes, a muller light, chicken fillet with cabbage and broccoli and feel stuffed and worried I might have put it all back on again, hope not!
Looking forward to Ham Salad for lunch tomorrow with some healthy dressing.
I only wanted to loose 10 pound so will keep on cruise until I achieve this. I will definitely introduce carbs/cheese with trepidation and reckon I will keep up with a PP day long term. Am loving skimmed milk in place of semi skimmed so learning some good habits that I will keep up for ever.
DD has had to join me on it as I've shopped with Dukan in mind. She did 2 days PP as she is late teens but is loving the fact that she has lost a few pounds so quickly as she thought it was impossible for her to loose any weight. She is only slightly chubby round her tum and bum and has been for a few years, but hasn't managed to shift it before and she can see results already. So is keeping up the cruise rules and is happy to do a PP day each week.
I felt ill in the afternoon on Attack but could feel it getting better by day 3 and even kept it up a day more than I intended. Keep going on it and good luck. I ate some lean meat and had diet coke when I felt my energy depleting.
Oh and I've cheated by adding Vodka to diet coke in the evenings this weekend.
