The Dukan War

Salter scales go up to 28.5lbs or 180kg

Are you at war and do not know it?

Do you find you self getting uncomfortable and irritable after stepping on the scales?

Do you sometimes think this weight loss cause is lost so I may as well admit defeat?Do you not know you are at war but your body, family and emotions do?

Do you feel defensive because of things that people say and do and put this down to your weight?

Dukan says "the weight loss phase is a period of war and to achieve true victory, the only result has to be ever lasting peace"

Dwight D Eisenhower said""We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it."

The peace that comes form weight loss is a slow one that can be easily be disturbed. Dukan offers a way forward with the carefully planned phases and maintainable plan.

I have so far lost 17lbs 11 days and feel so much better. even when the scales stayed stuck at the beginning of cruise for three days I knew that I would be loosing... There is no surprises in the food that would make a gain. And I am not ravenously hungry.

The recipes I have been using are here on the blog http://dukandaze.blogspot.com/2011/09/salmon-with-herb-crust.html is my favourite so far..

Salmon with herb crust-attack

I wanted to use the salmon I brought in the Co-op reduced from £4.00 to £2.37. I looked in the Dukan Diet Recipe bookhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Dukan-Diet-Recipe-Book/dp/1444710354/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1316296969&sr=8-1_

The recipes were either to include smoked salmon or contained cod roe . The Salmon Heart Frittata contained Hake and then another one the Terrine required smoked salmon and salmon Roe. There was one recipe I contemplated the one in a mustard sauce.. then I thought I would try something simple as I had lots to do and did not want to take long.

I went into my Garden and grabbed some herbs from my pot.. dill and marjoram and chopped these,I then added some salt, garlic pepper ( It comes in a small spice jar and is ready to shake) and some oat bran. I then roasted it in the oven. Very delicious as the skin was crisp and I added some fromage frais as a sauce.

Some times the simplest things in life are best. It is important that the diet fits in with your lifestyle and does not dominate it. This is why I adapt the recipes to what I can get, can afford and have the skill, mindset and time to make.

Cod and Thyme Courgettes -cruise

It was a very easy recipe to prepare. I did so put it in the fridge and went to the pearl with my daughter.

When I served t for my daughter she said it looked disgusting...(She is 5 and its a phase).. and really I did not take care of presentation.. having a cold you just want get on with things.. So I made her a quick snack and tucked in.. surprised that the courgettes were tasty and firm and juicy and the fish,., well it was there.. In the end my daughter did try and liked the courgettes.. As for the fist. I am not sure what happened but Waitrose say that they will replace it or me.

As for recipe

It was so easy I just sliced up the courgettes.. no instructions on thickness so made them reasonably chunky and not see through.added thyme from my herb pot in the garden and garlic and then added the fist and another layer of courgettes thyme and garlic. It took around 25 mins in the oven on around 160. Dukan says a gentle heat.. but I am not sure what that means.

I am finding that maybe Dukan should not have just done a translation into English but also looked at the cultural, social aspects of what food is in our society and how we eat.Not to mention the availability of producjavascript:void(0)e I find I am making substitutes - something more local or something maybe not so expensive or able to find and used for more than one recipiency...( An example I will not be buying Raspberry vinegar even If I can find it for the two recipes that requires it)
I wonder how the Americans are coping. looking for Courgettes when they have Zuchinnis?

It brings me back to why I am doing this Blog..I know Dukan can work but the book just put me of at first.. I do not need any excuses for giving up this time so I am hoping you will join me on the journey.. I have around 111 pounds to go.

Well as for the diet.. I really must stop the daily weighing I weighed the same today. Do follow my blog for more Dukan recipe deciphering and my Journey to less pounds.
