Dukan

My body has been sick for so long.  The eating plan that i have chosen for this phase of my journey is the Dukan way of eating.  It is high protein.  I think it will benefit my body very much since alot of the things i am intolerant of are gluten, dairy and other carbs.  I have also started including walking for 20 minutes and ab and arms videos to my regime.

  1. During the “Attack” phase (1-10 days), you eat all the lean protein you can handle, plus 1.5 tablespoons of oat bran and at least 6 cups of water daily.
  2. In the “Cruise” phase (which can last several months), you add unlimited amounts of non-starchy veggies every other day, plus an extra half-tablespoon of oat bran.
  3. When you get to the third stage, “Consolidation” (5 days for every pound you've lost), you can have veggies every day, plus one piece of fruit, 2 slices of whole-grain bread, and 1 serving of hard cheese. During this phase, you can also have 1 or 2 servings of starchy foods and 1 or 2 “celebration” meals where you can eat whatever you want.
  4. The final phase, “Stabilization” (ongoing), is all about maintenance. You can eat whatever you like, except for one day a week when you follow the all-protein rules from the diet’s “Attack” phase. In this phase, you also eat 3 tablespoons of oat bran a day and walk 20 minutes every day.
     I also am only going to be weighing myself once a month, which is going to be hard, but will hopefully help me stay focused and motivated.
