Week 1 - Day 4. CRUISE Diet

Now for my first PV day on the CRUISE diet. That is alternating PV and PP until the target weight is reached.

Weigh in first, there is another sign of weight loss, down another 0.5 kg. so that is 3 kg of the 10, or 30% of the way. From previous experience, on cruise, I can loose 1 kilo a week, so I will now move to weekly weighs. So probably another 2 months cruising to drop the weight (early June), then another 2 months to consolidate.

Measure out 1.25 litres of water to drink in the morning, and 1.25 l for the afternoon.
Take vitamin capsule.
Black coffee no sugar.

Week 1 - Day 3, PP day, ATTACK Diet

Now for the last of three ATTACK days.

Weigh in first, there is another sign of weight loss, down another 1.5 kg. so that is 2.5 kg gone, or 25% of the 10kgs I wanted to loose. I know that only some of this is fat, most is fluid and the changing over of my intestinal biotica, from that which supported the high fibre of the CSIRO wellness diet (which does not work for me) to the high protein of the ATTACK stage. Need to keep drinking water to help the transition.

Measure out 1.25 litres of water to drink in the morning, and 1.25 l for the afternoon.
Take vitamin capsule.
Black coffee no sugar.

Fruity Dukan Cookies




Okay, fruity cookies may be a stretch, but they are fruit flavoured and they are small as a cookie...but probably closer to a short muffin.

This is an original recipe, but as far as I can see, it complies with the Dukan principles.All Dukanites need oatbran each and every day of every stage of the Dukan diet. This is how I have been having mine.

I make four dozen of these at a time (limit of my kitchen) and freeze them in four packs for enjoying with either a morning or afternoon tea. If you were attacking, the packs would only have 3 cookies.


First I preheat the oven and arrange the trays to cook as many batches at once as possible.

Then get the muffin trays out. To avoid sticking, I use spray oil, and then wipe with kitchen paper, so there is nothing visible left. This feels more like 'cleaning' the tray, rather than 'greasing' the tray.
Here are the ingredients:



For one batch I mix with a spoon
250g yoplait forme vanilla yoghurt
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
100g oatbran
1 sachet of Aeroplane light jelly crystals (provides sweetening and flavour). I like to mix it up, but try port wine, strawberry, lime, vanilla berry, mango & passionfruit ....
Once mixed, transfer, a desert spoon at a time, evenly between the cups on a 12 cup muffin tray. I then set the batch aside and then start mixing another batch in the bowl (with out washing). I have an idea that the longer these sit, the better, as the oatbran swells and takes on more of the flavour.
Here they are ready to go in the oven - mango and passion fruit, strawberry, lime and port wine flavours.




I then bake all trays at 180-200 C for 22 minutes. They spring back when touched and have a light brown appearing on some of them. I often let them cool in the trays (as I am off doing other things) and then, when cold, gently run a dinner knife around the edge to loosen before packing for storage.

Here they are ready to put into the freezer.




They freeze and defrost well, and a minute zap in the microwave will bring them from frozen to ready to eat.

Enjoy!

Mousse!

Elena had a great mousse recipe that I must share. Very simple. Aeroplane lite jelly crystals are dissolved, cooled and then whisked with low fat vanilla vanilla yoghurt and chilled. I had a mango mousse tonight and it was quite delicious!

Elena makes special layer variety with jelly on the bottom and the mouse on the top. Here are her instructions.

Stage (1) Jelly.
Take 1 pack of the Airplane low calories jelly and follow instructions. It makes 500 ml of jelly. Pour into containers. Add Gogi berries (not for PP days). Make sure jelly sets in 4 hours in the fridge).

Stage (2) Mousse. Dissolve 1 pack of the Airplane low calories jelly powder in 250 ml boiling water. Let it cool down till room temperature. Add 250 ml of no fat low sugar vanilla yogurt and mix with the hand mixer until the mixture is fluffed and ~ 650-700 ml. Add on the top of your jelly.

The containers can be glass – for after dinner treats - or in plastic Glad 175 ml containers – for taking to work.


Ready for dessert...




Or to go on the road!

Rhubarb on PV days

Rhubarb is not a fruit, but a vegetable and therefore can be a Cruise PV day treat.
I wash and chop stems and put in a saucepan. Add water until just under top layer. Cover, bring to boil, stir and stew for 5 mins.

Look at how much volume you have and estimate to the nearest 500ml. An Aeroplane jellylite sachet sets 500 ml. Dissolve the required number of red-coloured jelly sachets into the rhubarb. Chill. Serve with yoghurt.


Simply delicious and elegant, 9/10.

Can also do as a brulee - rhubarb, yoghurt, sprinkle stevia/natvia and brown under grill.

Jelly

Dan loves it, and with Aeroplane JellyLite, it is a guilt free Dukan-compliant treat. Just need to get organised to make it. I like mine with a big dollop of Forme Vanilla yoghurt.


I purchased several 500ml screw capped pots to keep the supply up particularly during the summer holidays. There are an amazing array of flavours nowadays too.

A slightly wobbly 8/10.
