PP today
Weight loss: 0.6kg
Total loss: 2.8kg
I have exceeded the 2.4kg target for attack, provided when I clicked 'calculate your true weight' button on the website. It gives you a little profile of each phase and projected weightloss. It's good to use as a guideline, but as I said yesterday, taking more advice from the book.
Well I'm finally off attack which means I can eat a little more. I'm really looking forward to being a little more adventurous with recipies on the days when I can eat vegetables (PV days).
Last night I noticed that by breath felt and tasted odd in my mouth. This is a common effect of a ketogenic diet, but it hadn't happened to me before. It smells and feels like I'm breathing nail varnish remover. Time for some sugar free mints today, I think! I'm told it wont last long and is a sign that my body is finally burning fats rather than carbs. I took the ketostix and they confirmed that I am definitely in Ketosis. Yay!! This is where the sustainable weight loss starts to happen, so I am pretty happy.

Had my first challenge today - was invited out to lunch with a wonderful friend. I was worried that there would be nothing on the menu that I could pick without wasting half the meal. Luckily they had a 'Wilthsire tapas' menu. It wasn't perfect (batter on the calamaris; breadcrumbs on the goujons and illegal sausages!) but at least I wasn't wasting half the meal and I ate nearly all of it. Just delicious.
I made the bread from the recipe above for dinner. I added some garlic powder. It was absolutely delicious and I have 3/4 of it left for the next couple of days. I would highly reccomment it if you are following dukan and on cruise. It's not that I miss bread that much (now potatoes is a different matter) but it does help to have some way to make small or quick meals. This would be great for lunches at work too.
