Day One

Hello!

Welcome to our blog, we are Annie and Dan and today is day one of the Dukan diet. I've started this blog for us so that we can't back out of the diet even if it gets tough. And I'm sure it will. I love bread and potatoes and can hardly resist a glass of cold champagne. Dan could take or leave the bread but definitely not the champagne!


We are going to do five days of the attack phase, more for ease of planning meals during the week rather than following the rules. I suppose I should state right now that we have not read the book and are not affiliated with the official website in any way. So if you've found this blog and want to follow the diet 100% accurately, you should probably keep looking. The information on the internet regarding this diet is varied to say the least, so we are trying to be quite strict while still being realistic.


According to the website my attack phase should be two days and my cruise phase 42 days, ending on November 11 with my target weight of 114 pounds. (actually wanted to reach 110 lbs so we'll see how I do) I still have the consolidation phase after this for 60 days, ending on January 21.


Dan's attack phase is three days with the cruise phase lasting 69 days to get to his true weight of 70.1KG on December 21. His consolidation phase lasts 99 days which takes Dan to March 29.
