Week 3 (17 April 23 April) - Cruise Phase PP+PV

Current weight - 66.9kg

Weight Loss - 0.5 kg

Just 0.5kg?? I can do better than this!! But yes, again I admit that I have my bad and good days throughout the 3rd week...probably I ate too much yogurt...drank too much milk and stuff...but hey, it's Dukan diet, you can always make amend when you slipped your way through!! So I have learnt my lesson (maybe few) and at least I have lost 0.5kg...! If I have stick to the diet more careful, I might have lost 1kg instead! 

Next week will be a challenge..I am not putting any hope on losing any...I am happy if I can maintained this for next week as I have a beach holiday getaway!! Being on holiday...I can imagine how hard it is to maintain a diet programme...so...dear me, please do understand!

Since it's a month anniversary for my Dukan programme :) Let's recap my starting weight vs current weight....roaaarr...

Day 1 (27 March 2012) Attack Phase PP

Current weight - 72kg

Weight Loss - 0 kg

I started on 27th March....and weighted 72kg... :)

And now....drumrollll

Current weight - 66.9kg

Weight Loss -  5.1kg

In 1 month...I have lost 5.1kg!! pretty amazing don't u think?  So let's start now now now people!

Anybody interested in this diet can always drop me a comment and I will try my best to help (ok, now I sounded like a consultant....)

Take care people...

Love yourself!

Week 2 (10 April 16 April) - Cruise Phase PP+PV

Current weight - 67.4kg

Weight Loss - 0.9 kg

So I am moving to 2nd week of Cruise Phase...it was a lil' bit easier this week as maybe my body has already give up on the fact that it might get carb or sugar...lol...it just give up! I ate vege + chic with more ease!!!  Once the veggie is in the menu, the diet gets more easier!!   And not to mention, I have 'cheated' a few days in Week 2...let's check the list of crimes that I did :

Crimes

1- I did not alternate PP & PV..instead i go with PV for 3-4 days (no weight loss!)

2- I get back on track and do PP for 2 days (weight actually reduced to 67.1kg on Saturday!!)

3- After 67.1kg on Saturday, and I was at my hometown I ate Sate for dinner (loads of sugar i assume) and in the morning I had a dinner bun for bfast as I was so hungry..no other alternative stuff to eat (theres only fried meehun-nono) and I was having period pain and needed to eat before I take my meds

So that's the cheat!! And now I am on day 2 or PP again to get the numbers reduced back as this week target is 66kg....today weighted at 67.4kg and I really really hope that by next Monday I am 66kg!!

Wish me ALL the luck in the world!!

Week 1 (3rd April 9 April) - Cruise Phase PP+PV

Some useful facts copied from some other blog before I start my ranting!


Once you finished the Attack Phase the next goal is to achieve your target weight. This is done while on the Cruise Phase – an alternating rhythm of pure protein days and vegetable & protein days.

A healthy weight loss is about two pounds per week. It can seem slow after a successful attack phase, however this speed is better for long term results – for example your skin has time to shrink not leaving empty flabs behind.

Cruise Phase Rhythms

• 5PP + 5PV
  The original rhythm alternating every five days. However as five days is a long time it is considered to be tougher to follow and requires higher motivation.
• 1PP + 1PV
  Dr. Dukan now prefers the one day rhythm, as it often has similar effects to the 5/5 one, while it is easier on the dieter.
• 2PP + 5PV
  This rhythm is better for people who are older, and/or weaker and don’t have many pounds to lose. The weight loss will be slower using this method though than the other two above.

Vegetable and Protein days

Allowed vegetables include:

• Artichoke
• Asparagus
• Aubergine
• Broccoli
• Cabbage, Cauliflower, Brussel sprouts
• Celery
• Chicory
• Courgette
• Cucumber
• Fennel
• French beans
• Leeks
• Mushrooms
• Onion
• Peppers
• Pumpkin
• Radish
• Salad leaves
• Sorrel
• Soya beans
• Spinach
• Swede
• Swiss chard
• Tomatoes
• Turnip

Allowed in moderation are carrots and beetroot.

Cruise Phase Diet Rules

You can now increase the oat bran intake to 2 tablespoons per day.

Another suggested change is increasing from 20 minutes of exercise to 30 minutes of brisk walking per day.

Just because you are allowed vegetables do not eliminate protein produce from a PV day. After all it is called Protein & Vegetables not Pure Vegetables for a reason.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So, during Cruise Phase..I must say...I have cheated a few time (not with carb..no)...I did not follow the PP & PV stricly but instead I have ended up with more PV days then PP days!!  Veggies is really my thing!  so my status as of now is below...not too bad..1kg a week is quite good...but for Week 2 i should increase the exercise and stay with PP and PV days subsequently....as I need to weight at least 67.3 by next Monday! Wish me luck... :)

Current weight - 68.3kg

Weight Loss - 0.9 kg
