Time for another Dukan intervention.
I think a 3 day Attack, and then cruise back down to a better weight for me. If I start on Monday, I can use the weekend to get organised.
Let's look at a proposed menu and a shopping list for the week ahead (3 Attack, 4 cruise = 5 Pure protein days (PP days) and 2 days where I can add in allowable (green) vegetables (PV days). These are Thursday and Saturday.
My first decision is how to have my oatbran. I prefer to have mine as a muffin as I can pre-make it. So during Attack, I will have only 2 muffins a day, then move up to 3 a day while cruising, and then 4 when stabilising.
Here is the recipe.

I will need to make 2 dozen for the week ahead, and then freeze them.
Next is the litre of non-fat dairy per day.
I will use some in my coffee, and there is some already in the muffins.
I will make some extra jelly to go with Forme vanilla yoghurt.

as that always fills me up.
On the 2 PV days I will have some rhubarb with my yoghurt (a few sticks, washed, trimmed and chopped, splinkled with natvia to taste and then in the microwave for 2 minutes). Then add Forme vanilla yoghurt.
Lunch
I will also have 2 days where I have the salmon cheese roll for lunch.

and 2 days with canned tuna would be good

and three coldest days I will have chicken noodle soup

Dinner
2 nights I will have poached salmon for tea
2 nights beef (roast/steak)
3 nights chicken (thigh/breast)
For the PV days I will have some broccoli, mushrooms, green beans and cauliflower
I am keen to try this eggplant and garlic recipe
http://www.dukandiet.com/weight-loss-secrets/eggplant-recipe
and I note that more coloured vegetables are now on the list like carrot, capsicum, tomato and pumpkin http://www.dukandiet.com/low-carb-diet/food-list
which will make things much easier
I will try to start each main meal with some apple cider vinegar

Supper is baked custard, using up my egg quota
