I lost two stone in seven weeks (combining the diet with the gym sped up the weight loss).<br />Found the consolidation phase easy too but with Easter coming up, I'm a bit scared. I was nearly always 1.5kg below my 'true' weight during consolidation but now I've 'gained' to the true weight but not gone above it.<br /><br />Granny you can still have your cake and eat it, but do some exercise to compensate for the calories on the days you eat cake. But not during Cruise - I think part of that phase's purpose is ti re-educate our appetite and to instilled discipline!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000658348481995041.post-4723429692289095392011-08-10T12:24:56.601-07:002011-08-10T12:24:56.601-07:00One strategy would be to carry on baking things, b...One strategy would be to carry on baking things, but give most of them away to other people, so they get fatter and you look thinner in comparison.Catherine Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474915175193477553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000658348481995041.post-81123703008668886022011-08-10T10:34:14.666-07:002011-08-10T10:34:14.666-07:00Dukan or Dukan't has caused a dietary imbalanc...Dukan or Dukan't has caused a dietary imbalance at home. Husband can & I can't due to the fact I LOVE carbs and suffer from depression ( aka withdrawal symptoms) when deprived of current buns, fresh bread & chips. What do I do with my breadmaker, baking tins etc? <br />Have tried eating in secret away from the sad (he likes carbs too) eyes of dearly beloved but tend to feel guilty, which can take away the carb pleasure.<br />The New Atkins Diet is no go too as we have 'gone off' meat of any kind (fat & protein is high on the list of must haves) due to my getting carried away at the recent Lichfield Festival Pig Auction & successfully bidding for Arfur Price Pig - he ended up being sold at half the price too, anyway because of Arfur (who is handsome & very purple) we have gone vegitarian.Granny Gaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000658348481995041.post-75212875691450463462011-08-04T10:45:35.182-07:002011-08-04T10:45:35.182-07:00Fair play, think I would have drop kicked all the ...Fair play, think I would have drop kicked all the fat clothes as soon as I could, too!<br /> Am just re-reading Benefits of Passion and Love For the Lost and remembering why I recommend them to friends so often.ClairePnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000658348481995041.post-68420494336640253362011-08-03T05:41:53.448-07:002011-08-03T05:41:53.448-07:00I sent all the fat girl trousers to the charity sh...I sent all the fat girl trousers to the charity shop, so I can't do the classic 'Slimmer of the Year' pose, holding twenty inches of empty waistband out and smirking at the camera.
