Day 1 Update

Ok, so day 1 is done and dusted. 1 day down, 6 to go.

And its been bloody hard. It seems ridiculous to say that after one day but I'm really surprised at how it has effected me.

I feel absolutely knackered, even last night after tea I was so tired I went to bed early (though I did to 15 minutes high intensity interval training on my exercise bike... but this is something I do anyway..). This morning it was so hard to get up.

I also started to feel very light headed yesterday evening. Its amazing what cutting out a food group (carbs) can do to your body, its definitely not a diet I could stick to long term.

I didnt actually eat that much meat yesterday, but by the evening the thought of meat was making me feel quite nauseous! All after 1 day!

I'm struggling with meal ideas at the moment, last night was ham and cheese omlette, with a yoghurt for dessert, breakfast today is yoghurt with some oat bran biscuits (bit soft for biscuits but thats what they're called) but I have NO IDEA what to have for lunch. I'll just have to cobble something together-all I have in the fridge at work is ham, cottage cheese and a couple of dairylea slices!! Yum.

So as you can see, I'm struggling, and its only day 2.

I'll probably update again later when I've had my oh so yummy lunch.

Update

Its now 11.30, I had a SERIOUS wobble around 10ish this morning. I just felt so hungry, and the thought of doing this for another 6 days seemed a real chore and nigh on impossible. Its mainly the not knowing what to have for lunch and the fact its not very varied.

But I am now right back on track, having had a look for recipes on the Dukan website. I am so weak, I was ready to give up and give in but now I feel re-energised and raring to go again!!
