It's similar, I've been reading the Dukan book as well. On this plan though you get veggies every day, and instead of one long stabilization period at the end you get mini ones every so often (depending on how much you have to lose), also the refeeds and cheat meals aren't part of the Dukan plan I think! Are you allowed whole eggs on Dukan? I think that's what I'll miss, egg whites just don't do it for me, all of the goodness is in that yolk! Maybe i'll pick up some eggbeaters or something. Actually I think they have an egg white carton at the grocery store.

Well I drank nothing but water all morning, I'm up 62 oz so far today, I hate water! I have a serious diet coke addiction and that's about all I used to drink, but now I'm challenging myself... no diet cokes until I drink 100 oz of water. I just did my strength workout and now I'm about to chow down on 250g of turkey meat, mmmm. And I have to work up the courage to swallow these huge fish oil capsules

[Getting there!!!]

Oh cheats and refeeds would be a dangerous thing for me!!! .......but hey everytime I've given in to temptation I can just say oh that day I was doing Lyle's plan!
Yeah you're allowed eggs on Dukan, he doesn't reccommend lots-I think 2or 3 a day max.
I wish we had eggbeaters-I just can't bring myself to throw away the yolk! But if it wasn't there....!

I will enjoy club soda faux-jitos, make my own iced tea from scratch sweetened with stevia and drink lots of water. I'm actually starting to look forward to this challenge. I think it will make me feel good to stick to my menu while I watch everyone else consume all those carby delights and then complain about it later. Ok, ok...that was a little spiteful...I take that one back (sort of). I will be sending super supportive twinkles your way and to all who are challenging themselves to stick to plan this holiday weekend. Let's do this!!!

See!! I think this will be a wonderful time to "challenge" ourselves! You are exactly right. .they will all complain and you can take a walk knowing you are gonna be feeling great and stayin slim!

Guess red is better than ghost white. Ive also been in the pool! lots of laps and making whirlpools is quite the workout! So, all in all I guess Im on a better track. Yeah Im eating cheese, but hopefully all the movement will keep me maintaining. Also, hubby had a talk with me. He says I shouldnt lose anymore, so Im using it as my excuse to have yummy cheddar grilled turkey burgers!

so, what are the weekender rules? must read back.

If you limit your cheese to no more than 4 ounces. . I think you'll be OK. . Many of those other low carb sites list it. .but not over 4 ounces. . plus. you are sooo close that maintenance is just a whisper away. .

I'm a binge eater so it's definitely something that I'm curious to see if it will work for me. I hope the change in thinking will work out.

I mean, if I'm on strict Atkins induction and then eat something off plan, then in my mind I'm a horrible person with no self control who can't stick to her diet, then I go into a horrible binge... what starts with one cookie ends up being a bag of cookies and a pizza and the next day it continues. I think it's because while I'm on induction my mindset is "I cannot have this pizza", so when i'm "off plan" I binge on everthing that I've been missing or WILL miss.

Hopefully now, thinking that hmm, I want pizza but I can have a few slices if I wait 3 days... hoping THAT mentality shift will stop the binge monster. Knowing that nothing is truly off limits if I wait for the right moment, and knowing that it's 2 slices of pizza, not a whole pizza... I don't need to binge on the pizza because I can always have more next week if I still want it.

Well, it's a trial right? Let's see how I do.

Unfortunately, binges are often the result of a very restrictive diet. I am the same way .but I think what keeps your momentum going is when you really start losing (and noticing) you ask yourself. . Why would I jeopardize all the hard work I've done over one cookie? On the flip side, we have to remind ourselves that one cookie will not make us fat. . the entire bag, on the other hand, will overload our system and make us do terrible rotten things. .

I am actually quite proud of myself when I can limit to one taste or serving If I absolutely, positively need to have it. I won't, however, being doing no such thing this weekend. .

I'm still in the Zone. . not cheating. .Not gonna do it.. No sir reeee Bob. .

I am I had a bite then thought about the scale and gave the rest away.

[IM2fat]

Heheheh. .

Hafta tell you . the very best way to get back at your co-workers is to cook fish in the office microwave at lunch!!! OMG> . the whole office stinks! IN fact, one of the gals came back from her carb laden lunch and said. . OMG. .who is eating cat food. .it smells just like cat food in here! LOL..

As a footnote, don't buy the Gortons Grilled Fillet . .The grilled Talapia is wonderful (as is the Salmon) but I accidentally grabbed the one that says Fillets. .and I'm thinking the Fillets are actually the end pieces and inerds of the fish. . Blah. . they did smell and they weren't good.. I choked some down but threw the rest out. Talapia is the only way.

I hope Lyle's plan works for you. If you have problems with bingeing then a very restricted diet like QWL is definitely not the way to go. This plan sounds as if it is more flexible. I wonder though how quick the results will be-maybe that's not what's most important to you-i just wonder, that even though the 'cheats and refeeds' are planned that, stall wise they could have the same effect as a proper off plan cheat. Dunno!
But as the say, the best diet is the one you cab stick to!!! So if this helps you psychologically to stick to a plan, then it's perfect!

Exactly, I'm very curious to see what the results will be. From what I've read it leads to good losses and the refeeds are so that your metabolism doesn't get sluggish from extreme caloric restrictions, but I think that overall (other than some water weight) the cheats won't be too horrible. I'm not planning on eating anything outrageous, I'll just try to eat a normal sized meal with some things in it that I wouldn't normally eat. I'm down 1.6 since monday, so I'm curious to see what the weekly average is once the initial quick losses are done with.

OMG OMG OMG-I.just read on another thread that someone drinks chocolate FAGO diet pop!!!! Oh i wish we had that!!!!! I need it!!!

[Getting there!!!]

Yep! Faygo originated in Detroit and is the local pop of choice around here. I don't drink it anymore, but when I did grape, redpop and rock n' rye were my favorite flavors. Yummy!

[Getting there!!!]

I need chocolate pop!!!! I'm going to bed to dream about it!!!! I don't even drink coke!!! But calorie free choccie taste..............

Anyways, day 1 for me, I ate nothing but turkey and chicken, drank a whole load of water... hoping to drop some weight this week!

hop in girl!

anyways I am back to my Old office on Monday which means I will be back to the boards! I am still up 5 pounds but I have been maintainign my weight at 149 for a while now ( with a couple weekends a bit higher but it always goes back down in a couple days!)

Stills is definitely the best way to lose weight and you can keep it off I pretty much gained the 5 pounds when I started eating "normal" (ie pizza, ice cream, chips) again so I am happy with my weight but I think its time for the next 15 to come off because we finally have nice weather here and I want to go hang out at my Aunts pool!

I know I will need you ladies (and gents? not sure if any have joined haha) to get the next 15 off seeing as I have lost all my willpower I have started eating low carb again and then I hope to transition to Stills after the weekend this is a long weekend cuz Friday is Canada Day and Pay day! so I am going to stick with my veggies and dip and chicken wings for the weekend and not go crazy and buy junk food and eat myself into a coma!

wooohooo Mar!

Did you see her red print skort (Like floaty shorts-everywhere here) that she wore on Paris? I have nearly the same pair!! Today I have a short(ish) light blue and white skirt with thin stripes and a long wide tie at the waist that you make into a bow-have mine at the side and a sleeveless(yes peeps I have started getting my arms out!) hot pink top with a peter pan collar and 3 small bows on the side at the bust in spots and checks and a pair of TH pink stripey wedges..........so as I say less Catherine.....hmmmm more Elle Woods!!!

Haven't been a Pippa stalker much, I adore Kate. And Elle Woods. I guess I'm a cross between. Mom's classy duds and Tink shirts everywhere
