losing 3.5 lb a week
24 August 2018
OK - I have 12.5 pounds to go to reach a new goal weight. I was doing a semi-hybrid Dukan regimen, that after an initial loss of 8 pounds, was leaving me in a 2 - 3 pound up and down loop for a couple of weeks. I did get encouragement from losing the 8 pounds and at the very least it was a mind clarifying cleanse, but I am going back to my usual weightloss tactics with a bit more consciousness to take in enough protein, which I think has been a fault of my old regimens.
So my usual regimen is to pay attention to portion control, yoga and a good amount of activity. I'm feeling quite fit as I have been true to maintaining a yoga practice of an hour every other day generally.
With the protein high Dukan-like diet, I wondered if I was gaining in muscle, while losing fat. Probably, I believe. I could not see any of this transformation by watching the scale. Perhaps I should have put a tape measure to my waist hips etc. I may do that today to have a base line for the future.

gaining 0.2 lb a week
07 August 2018
So after several months of a slow creep of weight on, due to laziness, I am getting back on my regimen. I was getting outside of a ten pound gain window and my clothes were not fitting, etc.
I have been really true to my yoga practicing and this is such a wellness factor for me. I feel so good physically, mentally spiritually. I did notice that I was gaining more muscle than I normally do.
So with this weight loss adjustment I am hoping to rid myself of the extra fat that I see about my middle, inner thighs and upper arms. All cranky areas for fat lost.
Some friends of mine started the Dukan diet. I thought it was interesting, maybe a little crazy for me, since the banned foods were absolutely restricted and this would be a big change to my eating idiology.
For examples, no wine for the beginning phases and not goat cheese! What? My daughters are goat herders and make cheese yoghurt, ice cream products. Beautifully nutritious, full fat, wholesome! So yes, by admission the availability of these goodies have been part of my recent gains.
If you've followed me, you may have gathered that my husband and I are snowbirds. We are in New England 6 months and in SW FL for the winter months.
We are around family and friends and numerous celebrations during the summers. In FL it seems the eating consciousness is so much more doable.
So now I am doing a diet that is inspired by Dukan, but with my own rules and based on my eating habits and what I understand about how I lose pounds.
I started off doing the first phase of Dukan for 4 days. I had only one insignificant cheat. I lost 8 lbs. in one week. Not too excited because I know that was a lot of water. After that I found that I could not manage the diet. My cravings for carbs were extreme. I mean for vegetables! The one day on pure protein and one day on protein and vegetables,seemed to be doable, but the intermittant cravings still snuck up.
To credit the diet, I am not hungry at all and you can eat as much as you want of the allowable proteins and vegetables.
What I have done is adapted the one day PP alternating with one day PV.
I do PP breakfast, lunch and then eat PV for dinner. I don't drink wine every night, but I allow myself if I want it. Also, when eating out with friends and family, I eat PV and allow a small dessert or cheat food.
So for me this cycle fits my lifestyle. I am very busy during the day and then after dinner, I generally catch up on computer work or watch TV and this is my vulnerable time. I would likely cheat during this time. I DID cheat quite a few times, still I continued to lose and now I am being more conscious of this dangerous time for me. I am keeping hard-boiled eggs and sugar-free jello and almond milk sugar free ice cream on hand.
I will continue this until I reach my goal of 145. Then I will begin to introduce berries and more whole grains.
All a learning experience.
