Ryan and I are 7 days into the Dukan Diet and so far this is what we've noticed:
Stinky breath, increased thirst, a little fatigue and... WEIGHT LOSS! Ketosis (the symptoms I described) is a good thing, it means the diet is working.
I have lost almost 5 lbs in the first week and Ryan is just about the same. Our pants are fitting better and we've got the inspiration to keep it up!
I am pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to cut out bread/sugar/junk for a whole week (minus the Christmas Day food/dinner).
This next week will be our first of lean protein plus protein rich vegetables (Asparagus, broccoli, cucumbers, celery, mushrooms and a few others). I can't wait to eat vegetables again. Nom nom!
mmmm Oat Bran... been following the blog for a while with my RSS reader. Good luck on your loss.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chaz :)
ReplyDeleteOat Bran isn't so bad! Not any different than eating Oatmeal, in my opinion.
I tried to Google RSS reader, boring! What is it?
Here's a good video explanation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0klgLsSxGsU
