DAY SIX - SEVEN : LAST DAYS of Dukan attack - READ ON FOR WEIGHT LOSS RESULT

As you may have noticed, I wasn't here for the last days of my diet. That's because I was having to travel for work. I had to drive 1200 miles to a meeting, staying in hotels. I was prepared with hard boiled eggs, fish cooked and packed and yoghurts, all in a cool bag. 

Day 6 was OK - I had porridge before I left and had boiled eggs from my packed lunch while all around me had tapas and beers :(. Then in the evening I had some cheese triangles and some fish. I was incredibly hungry and tired. I had a Colacao in the bar.

Day 7 was bad. 

By 6pm I made the decision that it was impossible to keep on going without carbs because I just couldn't drive any more. I felt weak and sick and dizzy. I gave up on the attack phase and allowed myself to have a dinner menu which was salad, followed by fish with vegetables and a coffee. I felt awful all night like I had a terrible hangover, and went to bed at 9pm.

However, Dukan had predicted I would do seven days and lose 6lbs so let's see...

So I am now on Phase 2 Dukan! When I got home on Day 8 of my Dukan Diet I weighed myself, and I weighed 84Kg! That's a total loss of 5Kg in a week on the Dukan Attack phase, which is actually 11lbs! My target weight was to lose 6lbs, so I am really pleased with the outcome so far.

I think what I will do is keep on the diet now, and when I want to push it I think I will have a total attack day. I think what I have learnt is you cannot and absolutely must not, do any strenuous exercise or activity including driving or travelling or anything else out of the ordinary while on Dukan attack phase. You have to be completely focused and not interrupted, and have access to your own kitchen.

Also I think it is quite a difficult diet if you don't eat meat like me. Still, it worked really well.

All in all, a good diet technique and I feel much better for it so far!
