what's for dinner



This post is an ode to chicken breast. This has got to be my go to meal since I've stuck with the Dukan Diet. First, chicken breast is so easy to cook, grill it, pan fry it with olive oil or even without just as long as you use teflon pan or make a stew, it's perfect. The next best thing about it is because it's so filling. One fillet keeps my hunger at bay. My favorite is to season it with chili powder and barbecue marinade.

Oat bran bread


I miss bread! I have to be truthful,  I've taken bites of glorious bread but never enjoyed a full sandwich. So I decided to bake my own. It wasn't perfect, it was very dense and moist., like a banana loaf. But I can do with it, especially when spread with Dijon mustard and chicken ham for Pure Protein days

4 tablespoons oat bran
2 tablespoons wheat bran
salt, onion powder, herbs
1 packet quick rise yeast or 1 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons 0 fat yogurt
2 eggs

mix ingredients together,
350 F for 30 mins.

You have decided to start the Dukan Diet and are trying to plan out your first grocery trip on the diet. I don't know your taste, how many people you are cooking for, or any other diet restrictions you might have. But I know that first grocery trip can be intimidating, so here is a typical grocery list I would use for the cruise phase (the second phase).

The List:

Frozen fish, typically basa, and only if it's on sale for less than 8$ for a bag at Walmart. I like fish and find it easy to make some on the stove in advance for lunches.

Steak, porc chops for easy to cook suppers.

A beef roast I find is also easy enough to cook for dinner. Just season and throw in the oven. Makes a lot of leftovers for lunches.

Cauliflower and broccoli.
You can get the bags of frozen but I prefer fresh, then when you get home you seperate them into portions so they are an easy grab-and go snack (fresh).

All colors of peppers. I find they make a great addition to most meals or easy to grab snacks as long as you cut them into portions first.

Oat bran. Either the organic stuff you can pick up at sobeys or the regular oat bran in the cereal isle.

Eggs! Matt and I go through eggs like crazy... We pick up two of those value packs of extra large eggs. You choose how many you think you will eat between the gallettes, meals, and snacks (hard-boiled eggs = great snack).

Yogurt. I'm a big fan of Greek yogurt. You can pick up the plain Greek yogurt or those little source 0% ones with fruit in them. 35 calorie, there are so many different varieties. Just make sure there is no sugar added and no fat. Yogurt is a lifesaver on this diet, as long as you remember you are only allowed 2 a day.

Now on my grocery list there is usually a lot of vegetables: cucumber, zucchini, yellow onions, eggplant, spaghetti squash, asparagus, a lot of tomatoes, mushrooms. You choose what you think you will eat during the week, or what's in season.

Vegetables you are not allowed: corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, avocado,  beans, nuts. You are allowed carrots but only in moderation.

If you can find turkey or chicken bacon that is reduced fat. Also, non-fat ham.

I'll also pick up skinless, boneless chicken breast that I boil in advance and add to my recipes during the week.

Crab sticks and non-fat deli chicken slices for easy, non-vegetable snacks.

You can pick up low-fat ground turkey or chicken, or extra lean ground beef for burgers or meatloaf.

Spices that don't have sugar in the ingredient list, mustard, for flavour.

And that's it. It helps to plan your meals for the week, then buy the ingredients.

Cruise Phase Tips

The cruise phase is the workhorse stage of the diet, where you alternate the pure protein days of the Attack phase with days when you add unlimited amounts of salads and vegetables to your selection of meat, fish and no-fat dairy products. You stay in this phase until you reach your ideal weight.

You can introduce the following vegetables either raw, steamed, boiled or baked (in foil) with your meat or fish: artichoke, asparagus, eggplant, broccoli, cabbage, celery, celeriac, chicory, cucumber, fennel, French beans, leeks, mushrooms, onions, capsicum, pumpkin, radish, salad leaves, sorrel, soybeans, spinach, swede, Swiss chard, tomatoes and turnip.

In principle, you can eat as many of these as you like, but if you want speedy weight loss, Dr Dukan believes it's best to eat until you no longer feel hungry.

Carrots and beetroot are permitted, too, but they are starchy, so avoid having them too often. During the Cruise phase, steer away from starchy foods such as potatoes, rice, corn, peas, beans, lentils and avocado.

Cruise rules

  • Have one to five pure protein days (with no-fat dairy products) interspersed with one to five days when vegetables can be eaten too.
  • Eat two tablespoons of oat bran per day.
  • Take a 30-minute brisk walk daily.
  • Drink 1.5 litres of water each day.
You should be aware the weight loss you enjoyed in the Attack phase will likely plateau when you introduce salad and vegetables, but don't panic.

The protein-only diet has a powerful water-loss effect. A diet rich in meat and dairy products raises the levels of uric acid and urea in the blood. These are toxic by-products of protein breakdown, which the body tries to eliminate by sucking water out of the tissues and pumping it into the kidneys and urinary tract to help it flush out.

When you start eating vegetables again, your body will naturally start to retain a little water. As soon as you switch to a pure protein day, the water expulsion will return.

Dr Dukan says you can expect to lose 900 grams for every week you're on the Cruise phase.
