Not on Dukan at the moment

Christmas came and went and my weight fluctuated.. I have decided not to do Dukan any more as although it is effective I feel that I need to concentrate on living in the world as it is ..so that means low rather than no Carbs and also nPublish Postot obsessiing about food so much.. and it has worked... I have lost 5lbs!

Stuffed Quail and Quails Eggs

I got some boned Quail and stuffed if with ham and quark. The green strip used to tie it is a cabbage leaf.. Served with quails eggs.. I forgot to take the skin off these but did not eat it.. Honest!

Smoked Turkey bacon and spinach omelette.Dukan cruise

t

This is a quarter of the omelette that was made. My daughter and I were in a bit of a hurry to eat this delicious omelette...in fact I naïvely thought I was going to have it myself!

2 eggs 

One and half teaspoons oat bran

A hand full of spinach drained and chopped

Four rashers of turkey bacon

Skimmed milk

I added these ingredients together and and put in a nonstick pan to make this delicious omelette.

Egg and chips on Dukan

I was out at the Soho Theatre seeing Fit and Proper written by Georgia Fitch. This is an excellent production.
Before eating the friends I was with and I wanted something to eat. The only Dukan option on the menu was egg and toast.... So I asked for this without the Toast: the lady who served me said I could have three eggs in that case. I like that when someone can think out of the box without having to consult their manager or embarrass the customer. I was expecting ... Oh no it comes with toast... We cannot do it without.

My friends ordered the chips and I was not tempted as I am usually very satisfied on Dukan.

If I was at home egg an chips would have been possible using roasted swede.

I must say that the hardest part of loosing weight is that photos show the truth.. Although clothes are loose the photo of night shows me as twice the size of my friends! I have lost 26.5 lbs and cannot really see any sign of this in the picture.

It is very discouraging when one has so much to loose. It is just as well it is not difficult on Dukan.

Dukan most important ingredient is not Oatbran ... But a non stick pan

I am so used to putting oil in my food and cooking on high that the non stick coating on my pan is no longer there. Hubby is always telling me to turn down the heat and I am somewhat stubborn. However on realising that this is the reason my Dukan  Gallettes were sticking  I invested in a Tefal Non stick pan.. one of those that has a colour changer to tell you when it is ready or not.. I even bothered to read the care instructions.

My new investment has assisted a lot with my cooking and also means that I am able to use less oil .. as Dukan suggests: adding a little drop of oil and then wiping it of with a kitchen towel.
