I am such a picky eater. Since I was a kid, I have been insanely picky with my food. My issue with most diets is...I don't eat eggs. They are #2 on the grossest foods in my world(second to onions), and I can't do it.
When I was looking at the Dukan Diet and saw you can eat "fat free yogurt", I was intrigued. I decided I liked the principals of the Dukan Diet & felt there was possibility of success, since I didn't have to rely on eggs, so off I went.
When I first started, I wasn't sure what kind of yogurt would work. After much researching, I found most people were eating Plain or Natural Yogurt. I tried it once, and will not try it again. So I decided to try my favourite yogurt - Silhouette Fat Free Vanilla Yogurt. After 2 weeks of consistent weight loss results, Vanilla yogurt was in!
I am fortunate enough that I don't really get sick of foods I do enjoy. So as you follow my progress, you will see...I eat the same breakfast and lunch basically everyday. Lunch may vary based on if I am going out to meet someone, but generally I have yogurt in the morning & a chicken breast at lunch.

This is my basic every morning, plus a cup of coffee. On the Dukan Diet, you need to have 2 tbsp of Oats, so I eat those in my yogurt. It helps keep me full until lunch & I really do not have another opportunity to consume it in my other meals.

For lunch, I would say I have a chicken breast minimum 4 out of the 7 days in a week. If I am out I will have a salad (always get dressing on the side and dip lightly for flavour), but generally I will stop at a grocery store and pick up a 1/4 chicken breast. I am fortunate enough to have a job that I get my lunch paid for everyday, so the cost of this is not a burden.

It may not look that appetizing, but that is because I have removed the skin, since that would defeat the healthy purpose, and already ripped it apart a bit.
Finally, my guilty pleasure.

| McD's Iced Coffee |
I don't know about anywhere else in the World, but in Canada during the summer, McDonald's has "Dollar Drink Days" & included in that, is a medium iced coffee for $1 which I consume at least once daily. Thankfully coffee is on the Dukan Diet, otherwise, I'd go completely mental.
If you followed me the first time, you will remember that a couple weeks into the diet, I tried a coffee. I had obviously tried them in the past, but was not a coffee drinker, then being deprived of desserts on the Dukan Diet, coffee really replaced that & since my first go at Dukan, I have been addicted.
So there you have it. Those are my everyday foods for the Dukan Diet. You will see these things on my daily recap of foods virtually everyday, thought some images & background may be of interest to some folk.
