For lunch I had some left over thai spiced burgers that I created for this Dukan regime. I heated them up and served with the fat free yoghurt and gherkin dressing which is totally delicious and makes the protein only diet quite bearable.  The recipe is featured on the recipe tab of the blog

Day 4 of the Dukan diet and its actually going really well. I feel a bit lighter already but I might be imagining that I started today with a breakfast of smoked salmon, cottage cheese and oat galettes. It was very filling so I am totally satisfied  

I honestly thought this Dukan diet regime would be harder than it is. To be very honest, it is forcing me to challenge my culinary skills. I have a terrible habit of constantly cooking the same things that are favourites of mine tonight I had Indian marinated chicken served with fat free yoghurt with chopped […]

A late lunch after a visit to the cinema. I had smoked salmon with loads of lemon and black pepper. Served it with a spoonful of cottage cheese and some of the fat free yoghurt mix with chopped gherkin that I have in the fridge. I thoroughly enjoyed it.  This Dukan diet is not as […]

Day 3 of the Dukan diet and I have opted for the same breakfast of yesterday with low fat bacon, boiled egg and oatbran galette. I varied it a bit by adding some cumin to the oatbran galette for a bit of a kick!  As a person who normally has either cereal or toast for […]

Took a notion to make spicy beef burgers and decided on thai spices. I bought a pack of frozen thai spices with chilli, garlic. Lemongrass from Waitrose. I added this to lean minced beed with some freshly squeezed lime. I served the burgers with a fat free yoghurt and gherkin dressing as the Dukan diet […]

Enjoyed an afternoon snack of a little oatmeal galette with cottage cheese  

This is a very white lunch on the Dukan diet. I needed a bit of taste so chopped up a gherkin and mixed it with some natural yoghurt to make a tangy dressing. I added some cottage cheese for a variation on taste. Looks very anaemic but tasted ok and most importantly was very filling […]

Day 2 of the Dukan diet and surprisingly, I didn’t wake up hungry. After a leisurely start to the day with a soak in the bath, I had to think about what to make for breakfast. One of the rules of Dukan is that you have to have a tablespoon and a half of oatbran […]

This Dukan business is harder than it looks. The principle is eat only protein in the initial attack and then have alternative protein and protein/vegetable days For this curry dish, I dry fried 2 chicken breasts and a chopped onion. When the chicken was sealed, I added a cup of boiling water with half a […]

Second meal of the Dukan regime and I have opted for chicken with cottage cheese, lemon, pepper and 2 of my oat galettes. To be very honest, I would love some vegetables with this and I think the system may be very restrictive. I am already a little bit panicked about having no vegetables!  I […]

I have decided to try the dukan diet for a few days but i suspect that it will be too limited for me.  I am off to a good start with smoked salmon, loads of lemon, home made oat galettes and a spoonful of natural yoghurt. Wish me luck as this could be a nightmare […]

I had this portion of home made chicken curry in the freezer which I defrosted. I didn’t fancy rice so served it with broccoli and tomatoes. It may seem like an odd combination but it really worked for me. Having said that, I do have some peculiar tastes!
