Chubby Bunny's How to Dukan Diet

I am very much skeptical about this diet, but it's easy enough to follow, unlike the GM Diet where the meal plan is specific to the T. I eat protein, prepared with no oil or fat, for 5-7 days. Ok! And there's a list to follow, great!

Lucky enough for me, the proteins I enjoy the most are tofu, fish, chicken and eggs. SCORE.
This means I can make chicken or fish stock and eat that with any combination of the proteins. I really love tofu in broth or egg-drop soup, so that satisfies all the requirements of Attach Phase.

I have created my own meal plan for week 1 here:

Day 1

Breakfast - I skipped breakfast because I woke up late. Made myself a nice cup of Superfruit green tea. In retrospect, I didn't think about the fact that there is pomegranate flavoring in my tea. Is that bad? Ah poo.

Lunch - I had 1 can of tuna with a tsp of Paul Newman's Olive Oil dressing.
Again, in retrospect, I didn't think the oil would be an issue. Ah poo.

Dinner - I will have a baked chicken breast with a side of broth and tofu. No oil or fat. Maybe a little salt and herbs to taste.

Snack - I would love a snack... but my cravings are for sugar. Maybe sweet tofu?
Just looked it up, I can have low fat dairy. So vanilla greek yogurt is a-go! Whoot whoot!

UPDATE:
Just read this excerpt in regards to Attack Phase span...

Attack Phase can last anything between 1 and 10 days as the exact length very much depends on what your long term ideal weight goal is.As a general rule of thumb, 1 day is enough for those wanting to lose less than 10 pounds, 2 days for weight losses of less than 20 pounds and 5 days for those who would like to shed between 20 and 40 pounds. -- http://www.dukandietmeals.co.uk/dukan-diet-attack-phase

Day 2

Breakfast - Eggwhite omelette with herbs.
Unsure if my nonstick pan will be nonsticky enough since I can't use oil. We'll see.

Lunch - Shrimp cocktail, tossed in lemon juice and herbs.

Dinner - Beef meat balls with tsatsiki sauce

Snack - Vanilla Greek yogurt


Day 3

Breakfast - Scrambled soft tofu 

Lunch - Baked basa with dill sauce

Dinner - Chicken soup

Snack - Dessert tofu

I think this will be ok for my Attack Phase since I only want to lose about 15lbs. Went to the grocery store just now and bought: chicken bones for soup, chicken breasts, ground turkey, basa filets (frozen, cheap), lean ground beef, cottage cheese, yogurt, tsatsiki sauce and coffee. 

Fingers crossed!!

Can I lose weight on clen, green tea extract for weight loss and The Dukan Diet?

Good Morning bunnies! Had really strange dreams last night about little albino snakes trying to bite my neck. Not cool, Robert Frost (see TED video: Pep Talks for reference)! Woke feeling tired and unhappy with myself.

So what do I do? Google, "diet blogger". Found myself reading on the Dukan Diet and it's phases for weight loss. Many dieters claim to lose 10lbs on the (first) Attack Phase alone. The Attack Phase is protein only for 5-7 days. Second phase, called Cruise Phase, you introduce vegetables but alternating with protein days. There is also a list of 100 safe foods you can eat during this phase. Many claim to lose 2.5lbs per week, cruising for as long as you need until you reach goal weight. The third phase, Consolidation, lasts for: 5 days for every pound lost. This means if I lose 20lbs, I will Consolidate for 100 days. This is the key to maintenance. During this time, you stick to Cruising but add 2 servings of whole grain wheat per day as well as a serving of fruit and cheese. The final phase, Permanent Stabilization, rounds it all up. For the rest of your life, continue with 1 protein-only day per week. 

My thoughts before starting The Dukan Diet to lose weight:

- I have often thought (fantasized) about eating just meat lol
  There are days, while on my period, where I'm positively carnivorous!
  Funny thing though, I don't really care much for meat otherwise!
  Of course, protein doesn't mean Meat Only. 

- I will try this in conjunction with a fresh clenbuterol cycle to lose weight
  I have liquid clen now. I was using clen in dry pill form, previously. Let's see if it makes a difference.

- I want to lose 15-20lbs. I'm hoping to lose at least 10lbs during Attack Phase. Paired with exercise, it should work. In theory.

Ok!! Day 1 Dukan Diet! Attack !!

Lost weight then Lost myself

I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since posting to this blog! The funny thing is that my greatest weight loss was right after I started this blog.

Recap:

I began taking clen to lose weight. I moved into a new apartment. My boyfriend broke up with me. I stopped eating. Found out my bf was seeing his exgf while we were together. I stopped eating and talking and functioning.

By this time it was September. I started seeing rapid results of weight loss. I stopped taking clen and didn't bother eating anything except for sourdough toast once a day. Drinking only water and coffee. Coffee was the only thing I could enjoy.

At the beginning of October I found myself at the lowest weight I had ever been as an adult: 102-105lbs. I looked really thin. I loved it! Clothes looked amazing on me. My hair looked awesome. I was meeting guys. My ex/bf came back in the picture (kind of) and then I gained a bit of weight...up to 113lbs.

We stopped seeing each other AGAIN in November. I lost the weight, do back to 105lbs. Not eating again.

Then, a bit of a breakdown sent me back home to Winnipeg. This is where I had my amazing boudoir photos taken. I'm about 112lbs there.

I ended up missing my ex/bf and moving back to Vancouver in January 2012. This is when the pounds began to pack themselves back on.

Fast forward to today and all of my 130 miserable lbs. I look and feel disgusting. I'm unhappy and cannot bear to look in the mirror.

My (now) bf, my son and bf's mom are planning a vacay in Hawaii come March-April and I am desperate to lose at least 10lbs before then.

My plan is to do my dance cardio and light weights, combined with light eating. I'd really love to duplicate the weight loss scenario I had in 2011 but I know I'd need to be in a dark stuper for that. Only depression can get you those results.

So I've worked out for 1.5-2 hrs each day this week. I did a warm up jog yesterday. I've been drinking tons (well, tons for me since I hate it) water. I've been peeing loads today. Must be the water or the apple cider vinegar in the water.

I was a little bad today though because I had a bubble tea and a pb&j sandwich. But I kept pretty close to my allowed calories of 1200 per day which I think is good enough.

Tomorrow I will attempt to eat clean if I eat at all. Ideally id like to achieve ketosis and not be eating anything but if I know myself, I'll be hungry. Fugg.

I really hate that I get so hungry. I don't know how I did it last time! I was never hungry and had such amazing will power.

I think having my bf live with is the culprit. He eats. Lots. And then I want to eat. Lots. It sucks.

Anyways. I'll post more tomorrow with pics to illustrate this post. Toodles!

Losing Weight on Clenbuterol: The Normal Girl's guide to losing weight fast!

UPDATE! Wow, its been a while since I've been back here. Ok, I've changed up my dosage. My original schedule went right out the window. I was feeling like I wasn't getting any results by going too low... so I took a break for week to keep from plateauing...then went back HARD! I know that it's not safe to go over 100-120mcgs ... but I felt like I needed to really jumpstart my loss. So now I'm on approx 200mcgs this week. 2 50mcgs first thing in the morning, and another 2 50mcgs in the middle to late in the day. Sometimes I even take it before bed! Most people claim that it gets them wired worse than coffee, but for me... I can sleep like a bear. Anytime, anywhere.

I've seen an increase in my heart rate again, it felt like it was normalizing during my break. The jitters are completely gone, even with the high dosage. My hunger hasn't depleted... still as strong as ever. I find myself wanting to eat more... probably because my body is working harder to burn from the thermogenics. And so I feed! I spent a good $80 on groceries, making sure I stocked the fridge with 'safe' food. I buy lots of fruit (berries, apricots, nectarines) and veggies (herb salad, brussel sprouts, broccoli, corn, cabbage, carrots, celery) and good snacks like popcorn.

OH! And the most fun: I went on a great hike this weekend to The Chief in Squamish BC. Its a pretty challenging hike for a novice like me but I really enjoyed it! Super satisfying. And today I went out and bought an XBox 360 + Kinect and got the UFC training game. Tried it today and I've got to say, I really worked up a sweat and it was fun! I don't have a gym in my building or in my neighbourhood and I hate running so I figured this was a great alternative. TRY IT!

 ^ Yes I look thin, but I've mastered the 'pose'. 3/4 to the camera, twist body, front hip down and arm away from body. Try it. I guarantee it will make you look sooooo skinny!!


Since my last update, I've seen a change in measurements too! SO HAPPY!

Chest: 34.5"
Under Breast: 30"
Waist: 26"
Hips: 34"
Butt: 36"
Thigh: 20"
Arm: 10.5"

<Check out my 'tan' LOL... L'oreal Sublime Tanner, double application. I applied it last night and then again this morning. I find that the darker you are, the slimmer you look. Plus, well-moisturized skin has a great sheen and looks really sexy. :)

I'm not weighing myself, because my scale is shizznit and I don't think it matters if I can see the results. :)

Clen for weight loss. My story continues! Days 7-14

I'm going to fast track through the second week since it hasn't been to eventful. I will, however, post pics of my progress. I have lost about 2, maybe 2.5" from my waist line since the start of my cycle. I'm really happy with the results so far and I also hope that my dose plan keeps me from plateau'ing. I will post my measurements tomorrow. Until then... PICS!

 

How to lose weight in 10 days? Here's my story! Day 5+6

Still working on super low doses, 20 mcgs in the morning and another 20mgcs in the evening. The side effects have literally dissipated and the only thing that reminds me that I'm on clen is the increased heart rate. Its become quite comfortable and I actually sleep fine. I do sweat when I sleep though, which is kind of gross. I have to wash my sheets doubly often. YIKES.

All in all, feeling really good! I've been getting alot of compliments already. People telling me that I'm looking better, thinner... it's awesome 'cause I wasn't sure if anyone could really tell.

Losing weight has always been an issue for me as I know it is for others. I grew up the chubby kid. My sister was thin, my best friend was thin, my circle of friends (growing up)-- all thin.What really sucked is that my uncle was super rough on me. Made fat jokes, always praised my bf for being thin... urgh. But, in the end, those comments were the thing that pushed me to pay more attention about my weight. I was the fat kid right up until high school, and then I had my son-Ben- when I was 18. Suffering post-partum, I ended up losing 1.25x the weight I gained. Subsequently, gaining "happy weight" during a new relationship.

I'm second from left.

Then in 2004, I made a valiant effort by joining a gym and taking on a trainer. In 3 months of heavy training (trainer 30mins x3 a week, aerobics class 3x a week), I lost 15lbs! I was the lightest I had ever been at 118lbs. I looked awesome, I felt super confident. I was getting tons of attention and it made me feel really good. Only let down? My D's shrank to B's. URGHHH! Memo to self: figure out how to lose weight fast without losing breast size. At 130lbs, I was wearing a 34DD bra... at my current 122lbs, I'm wearing 34D... I hope to not lose anymore in my breasts!
