Cruise Phase

The Cruise phase is a day of protein only and a day of protein with vegetables everyday until you reach your desired weight loss goal. I had veggies for the first time in 7 days and my body was so happy. The veggies tasted better to me, I felt a burts of energy and I had a very good bathroom experience. I understand that this phase can and will get boring if I don’t introduce new things into my veggies/protein days. I have lost 3lbs in the past week. I understand that this is the beginning of the diet so weight loss will be steady for a few weeks and I will have to tweak my diet, work out harder, but seeing these results in such a short period of time makes me HAPPY! I will keep to it and lets see if I can make 25lbs down by the end of July. *fingers crossed* Down 12 as of today!!

I did have to tweak my cruise phase a bit. In the book, Dr. Dukan suggest that you have 5 protein only days and 5 days of protein and veggies. I find that its working for me, because the 1 and 1 was a bit frustrating for a while. I also read in the book not to weigh yourself during the week before your cycle because you will carry the water and be so upset. I am exactly 7 days away today, so I weighed myself yesterday and I meant to post this sooner, but I forgot. I won't be weighing myself next week but I will keep you posted. I am having some craving issues and had some sugar free jello last night because I really want to eat a king size reese cup, but I digress, moving along and hopefully I can enjoy all of the bbq's and picnics for the holiday weekend without blowing this all to hell!
