Cruise Phase Day 1 - PP

11:00 AM (yes I slept in again)

Weight: 52.4 kg (-0.3)

Fat Percentage: 30.1% (-0.3)

Total Weight Lost: 1.9 kg

So I've entered the CRUISE PHASE of the Dukan Diet.

Basically the Cruise Phase involves Pure Protein days (PP) and Protein Vegetables days (PV). There are different ways to alternate between PP and PV days (1PP & 1PV / 5PP & 5PV etc...) Dr. Dukan suggests 1PP & 1PV.

Pure Protein days are pretty much the same as Attack phase except that once you enter the Cruise phase your daily oatbran intake increases to 2 tablespoons instead of 1.5. Also you get to eat 2 kinds of Tolerated foods daily. Below is a list of Tolerated foods: (note: stop having tolerated foods if you experience a plateau)

Fat free fruit yogurts (with bits) 1
Plain soya yogurt 1
Corn Flour 20g
3% fat cream (double or single) 30g (1 tbs)
1 coffee spoon of sugar free low fat cocoa powder (no more than 20% fat)
Wine (red/white) for cooking 3 tbs
Spiced Goat sausage 50g
Poultry sausage 100g
Soya milk (glass) 15cl
7% fat cheese 30g
Rhubarb (cooked) 100g

I think I'm supposed to have a PV day today, but I made plans with my friend to watch a movie tomorrow so I decided to move my PV day to tomorrow so that I'll have a little more choices if we eat together. Here's what I ate today

Late Breakfast:

Oat bran porridge with skim milk

some more skim milk

2 scrambled eggs

Snack:

2 pieces of low-fat cheese (about 42g)

Late Lunch:

1 piece of skinless Chicken thigh (I think its grilled or pan-fried.. it's kinda oily actually)

1 Black Coffee

Snack:

Skim Black tea latte w/ 1 pack of sweetener

Dinner:

Low fat Greek yogurt 170g

Work out:

jogged for 30 min on the treadmill plus a few more minutes of brisk walking - felt GREAT!!!

Others:

had WAY TOO MUCH sugar free gum

1 0kcal jelly from 7-11 (it tasted like heaven after my workout...)

I heard that skinny people tend to sleep a lot.. like both my sisters, they manage to sleep SO MUCH!!! I envy them.. I always end up waking up early while they can just sleep and sleep and sleep.. if I don't wake them up, God knows when they'll wake up. They are both so thin!!! That's why lately I've been sleeping in. I'm trying to sleep earlier so that I don't wake up so late though. I've been sleeping at around 1AM or 2AM lately, I wanna try to sleep before midnight. What's ridiculous is that yesterday I slept at 2AM and I woke up at 6:30AM and couldn't sleep!! Well I was this close to getting up to take a walk, which would probably be a good thing too, but that would be only 4 hours of sleep so I forced myself back to sleep and didn't wake up till 11. I'm gonna try to wake up a little earlier tomorrow though since I wanna get some laundry done before meeting up with my friend :)
