So I have successfully completed Day 1 of the Dukan Diet.
Current Weight: 158.6 pounds. Lost yesterday: 1.6 pounds.
Total Lost: 1.6 pounds
Breakfast:
- About a cup of Fat-Free Yogurt
- I added my 1.5 tsp of Oat Bran to the yogurt. I think this will be the way I consume the outbran. It is hardly noticable when consumed this way.
Snack:
- 4 rolled up pieces of Fat-Free Turkey Slices from the Deli
Lunch:
- 2 Pieces of Ham Steak
Snack:
- About a half-cup serving of Fat-Free Yogurt
Dinner:
- 3 Chicken Kabobs
- A small to medium sized steak
Exercise: Took a 30-40 minute walk to the store. I hate walking, I can't see me incorporating this part of the diet on a daily basis, but hopefully I do.
Here are my two dilemmas: I don't really know what yogurt is okay. I went to the grocery store & bought my usual fat-free vanilla silhouette yogurt. After looking at the ingredients, it had "modified corn starch" and additional ingredients that I am not sure are "okay" for the diet. I have tried to search some online forums but everything is from Europe and doesn't apply to Canadian Brands of Yogurt. I also bought a "Natural" fat-free yogurt. It was so gross, I definitely couldn't eat as much of it as I would need to eat, I need it to be sweetened. I have read multiple sites that say it is okay to have the yogurt vanilla or lemon flavoured, just not fruit flavoured, so hopefully it is fine.
Second Dilemma: I hate eggs. Since I was a kid, I have never liked them. Granted I don't like a lot of food (like the entire list of seafood we can eat), but eggs are pretty close to the top of my 'hate' list, right next to onions & tuna. Yesterday morning I woke up and said "I am going to make & eat a scrambled egg", I was so determined. I whipped it together, added some extra egg whites, and a tsp of skim milk. It looked surprisingly appetizing, then I put it in my mouth. The texture is just something I CANNOT have in my mouth. I had to throw it out, I could not do it. I had this vision of me getting in the habit of waking up every morning, whipping together a delicous batch of scrambled eggs, and not have to worry about eating meat at breakfast, but I can't. So that is going to be a big obstacle for me to get over.
Hopefully I can overcome the Dukan without Eggs & hopefully the yogurt I am eating isn't the wrong kind.
So all and all, Day 1 was pretty successful. I am worried I might get kinda sick of eating Meat, but as with most things, I just need to get used to it. I felt kinda weak last night, and a little nauxious from the amount of meat consumer, but I woke up this morning feeling feel. Also, I was sooooo thirsty all day, which was good because I got my required daily intake of Water, but it was almost distracting how thirsty I was.
Let's see how Day 2 plays out.
