Two Months..on DUKAN

Today I'm 2 months on Dukan and I must confess I like it.
Although at first I was a bit skeptical about this diet, and  I rotated around the PP PV days on Cruise Phase until I think I've come up with the ideal ratio for me.

PP2 PV4

PP days are not that difficult but I worry about the healthy part and at my age I have to watch my calcium and fiber nutrients. So I'm feeling a lot better...and the weight is going down hill...HOORAY!!

So I'm  7 plus kgs (15.6 lbs) lighter...and feeling good.

Tzatziki a Summer Must

This greek classical dip is ideal for Dukaneers. You can have it with grilled burgers, steaks and chicken, as a dressing with salads, and delicious with grilled veggies like eggplants, courgettes, and peppers.
Each serving is about 2 tbspn, Check the recipe page as have included recipe there.
It's suitable with PV on Cruise Phase and next Dukan phases. It helps to increase our daily calcium intake and it's only about 9 calories per serving.

Enjoy,,,

Goji berries and Dukan Diet

Superfood, and a great source of FIBER ....which esspecially during the Attack Phase and on PP days during the Cruise Phase is very difficult to obtain. Discovered it on a site about Dukan diet where I was trying to find ways of increasing my fiber intake,
Following article
--------
In the Attack Phase and on PP days in the Cruise Phase you are allowed one tablespoon each day. This increases to two tablespoons on PV days and when you reach Consolidation you can have up to three tablespoons daily.
Goji berries are considered by many to be a “super food” because of their high nutritional content and their amazing ORAC value but an ounce of goji berries also contains around 3 grams of fiber. The ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value measures the foods antioxidant level and goji berries have the highest value discovered so far.
Antioxidants help prevent the damage caused to the cells in our bodies from free radicals. These free radicals damage the DNA causing the cell to grow abnormally. The health benefits of goji berries are:

• Prevention of cancer

• Protection from heart disease

• A stronger immune system

• Reduced cholesterol levels

• A boost to your brain and eyesight

• An anti-aging benefit that may protect from age-related illnesses such as Alzheimer’s

There are also some studies that show goji berries provide a general feel good feeling and help you sleep better too.

Cruise phase PP PV

Trying different PP PV patterns to see what suits me more, as have seen that 3 days of each is lowering my nutrients to much and need to keep a healthier program
PV days are more important. as then you're able to cover most of our daily nutrients, although I'm having problems with fiber nutrients.
Need to add more Mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli, green peas and carrots(at least 2 a day)

So I'll try the PP1 PV2 ...and see how it goes.
