Is there a limit to the oat bran pancakes, gallletes etc you can eat in the attack phase? I am on day 2 and getting stuck ...any advise very gratefully received ....thank you x
Just throwing in my two cents, though I know nothing about the Dukan diet. I believe that ANY foods eaten with no limits can lead to weight gain. If your appetite is large enough that you'll eat a dozen of these pancakes every day, I doubt you will lose weight. It's up to you to decide whether you have built-in limits (based on your fullness signals) or need more structure in limiting foods.
Bjh, there is a limit of 2 tblspoons of oat bran per day during the attack phase. Have you got the Dukan Diet book? The rules are in there. Do you know how many days you are supposed to do on the attack phase?
There is a support group for Dukaners on the forum. Sorry, I can't post a link as I don't have a high enough post count here but it's on the low carbs section of the forum.
Thanks for the responses, yes I have got the book and my query stemmed from the general instructions about not restricting the quantity on the diet. I have found that the oat bran pancakes really helpful in getting me through the day ....as I am often out of the house with my work I have made a batch in the morning with 3 tbs of oat bran and then nibbled at them through the day with chicken or cottage cheese....so I wondered if that was okay or am I over eating?
The overall quantity would be equivalent to 3 tbs of oat bran and a moderate quantity of protein at breakfast , lunch and supper .
Am I going off track with this approach ?
There is no maximum amount specified in the book , just a minimum ..hence my query x
The book does specify a maximum amount. I just re-read it and it's actually 1 1/2 tblspoons (sorry, not 2).
I don't believe 3 will make you off track but if I were you, I would limit it to 1 1/2 during the attack phase. You get 2 tbs during the cruise phase. It is very important to not do more attack days than what you are allocated though in your individual plan.
