Day #4 on Dukan Diet, first day of Cruise and I feel GREAT!
The fatigue I felt in previous days has subsided. I now feel like I have about 95% of my normal energy. I walked about an hour today - 40 minutes outside and 20 minutes while grocery shopping. I had to pick up more Dukan "supplies" and boy, is this diet expensive. Nearly $100 on things like smoked salmon, sea scallops, horseradish, fat free dairy, low sugar/no-sugar condiments, wheat bran, herbs, xylitol and better-tasting stevia (stevita brand), goji berries, several gallons of water..
I'm starting to figure out that the key to enjoying this diet is variety and preparedness. There are so many no-fat/low-fat/no-sugar condiments I can use for taste. Already the diet is making me *taste* things more than I did before. I had a salad at a cafe today with only salsa as a topping -- I really tasted the bitterness of the leaves and the tanginess of the salsa.. I enjoyed it. Now I'm using herbs more in my cooking. I didn't realize you could make some tasty fat-free sauces (I was used to making oil-based and butter-based sauces). I like fat-free curry yogurt sauce and horesradish sauce (also yogurt based). Got some San-J Szechuan sauce too. Peppers are great.
I notice that I don't like eating big amounts of protein now that I am not smothering them in butter. I can only eat about half a breast of chicken before I get tired of it.
The Dukan savory galette was delicious.. it was almost like having bread.
Overall, I'm thinking I can keep this up for the time being. I'm very pleased with the diet so far.
