ATTACK DAY 1

Having spent the past few days gorging on biscuits, crackers, cheese, chocolate and cake - in anticipation of starting the diet - I was not surprised to find the scales denied me my 140lbs and instead upon weighing this morning I was, in fact, 145lbs ....

OH WELL ! I was 139 on Monday morning so I can't see that I have put 6lbs of fat on in a week - 1lb of fat is 3,500 calories and there is NO WAY I've eaten 21,000 calories in 4 days and not burned any of that off - I've been active everyday ...

I presume a good 4lbs of it is water - but we shall see on the days to follow...

As Dr. Dukan suggests, I am going to weigh myself everyday to give me an incentive as well as keep a check on whats going on.

I am going to attack for longer that Dr. Dukan suggests for my weight loss, and longer than I said yesterday as to really kick-start the diet. Below is my plan (my preferred foods and brands):

A T T A C K

Days 1 - 7

• Fat free yoghurts - Muller Light (Toffee and Vanilla) and 0% Total Greek Yoghurt
• Fat free fromais frais
• Low fat ham
• Chicken breasts and rotisserie chicken (WITHOUT SKIN)
• Lean cuts of steak and low fat beef burgers
• Smoked salmon
• All fish
• Eggs
• 1.5 tablespoons of oat bran
• Diet coke
• Mint tea
• 3 litres of water

And...

LAST BUT NOT LEAST

1 hour of pilates/+ yoga and 1 hour of swimming daily.

Dr. Dukan prescribes 30 mins of walking daily but as I am already fit and active 30 mins of walking will do nothing for my weight loss. It is quite possible that on top of the above I will also complete a 3/4km morning dog walk.

Will post this evening the days food intake !
