Thanks Chris! I will definitely make a brand new post as soon as the muffin top disappears and I get to wear them out!

Ok TML
I weighed and have hardly lost anything so re read your post and maybe it's time to shake things up
What is 3:2:2?
I am thinking that I eat too much bread/crackers on nonfast days so thought I might give protein a try
Don't like the thought as i really prefer carbs but it seems to have worked for you
Did u eat unlimited protein and how many days for Dukan?
Thanks

Hi, Sarah!
I was searching for this post in order to report more good news!
Milestone number two: CHECK! I am finally under 60 kilos.

Now, back to your question. My week of 3:2:2 is:
Monday-Tuesday: Dukan Attack
Wednesday: fast (with one meal of zero noodles in order for the calories to remain under 350)
Thursday: eating sensibly
Friday:fast (again with one meal of zero noodles)
Saturday-Sunday: well, let's say that I eat as sensibly as possible.

When doing the Attack, I have 3 or 4 meals.
My breakfast and/or snack is 3 slices of low fat turkey ham with low fat cream cheese or low fat cottage cheese.
My main meals are:
-Cajun chicken fillet marinated in low fat (0% or 2%) yoghurt, served with a non-cucumber tzatziki.
-Surimi (imitation crab) with cream cheese or yoghurt sauce.
-Omelette with 2 eggs and one egg white, served with low fat cottage cheese.

I know that there is nor much variety but I picked some of the low cal protein that I like.

You can certainly eat as much protein as you like but I realised that I can't eat too much. The most calories that I ate on an Attack day were 1200!!!

To be honest with you, since I grew up with the typical Greek diet I am a carb girl but since I managed to find a few things that I like and since I saw such wonderful results I really don't mind doing this for just 2 days. As soon as I reach my target weight, I will of course go back to eating like I did and continue 5:2 for maintenance.

ThanksTML
I may try the Dukan thing a.thpugh in the past when I have tried just eating protein it's made me feel,quite ill
But Well Done to you,very inspiring
I have decided its back to weighing myself regularly as I have done in the past.i know it makes me obsessive but at least then i can track what's going on here.
I am also going to count calories,another thing I wasn't keen to get back into.but maybe I have been kidding myself on nonfast days.
Thanks again

Sarah, two days won't make you ill. I know what you mean, I have the same problem (not to mention how expensive low carb diets are) but two days won't make a difference. Plus, 3 consecutive days (2 attack and 1 fast) of low fat makes a lot of difference in the weekly weight loss.

Ok,maybe I will give Dukan a go
Just ending a really easy,good fast ,off to bed.

Let me know if I can be of any help.
Sweet dreams!
