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.

New Product review: Slim pasta

Have you missed noodles on Dukan? Now you don't have to - with a newly available product on Adelaide shelves called Slim Pasta. (Update: it has had a name change Slendier Slim).


These gelatinous noodles are made from the root of a plant called Konjac, grown in Asian countries. Being a plant, I suppose it would sit best for inclusion on a PV day. (Update: Dukan has approved these for all stages of the Dukan Diet). 

Slim pasta make two products, http://www.slimpasta.com.au/ an Angel hair and a spaghetti version (with added wheat flour). I have only ever found the Angel hair product - not sure the other is Dukan compliant. 
(Update: the lines have been extended to wok noodles, rice and lasagne).  

I have found the Angel hair product in two places, my health food shop and my local Fruit and Vegetable specialist shop, but if you are keen you can by online (30 packs for $99)! 
(Update: the product is available in most supermarkets now).  

The noodles are delicate and arrive suspended in fluid. You have to drain, wash and warm. I tipped mine into a seive, ran tap water over it and then transferred to a pyrex bowl and poured on boiling water from the kettle to cover. I left this for a minute and then drained again before including in my dishes. I have served them in various ways with some success. My favourite so far was a laksa-style dish with a spicy clear soup with prawns, greens and slim pasta as the noodles. I also served it alongside some rather hot currys and as a rice substitute. I plan to try modifying some of my other Thai recipes next.

Basically it has little taste - it is a carrier food, just like regular noodles. It feels like a firm jelly to eat. It was somewhat filling - but then so is meat. My family are happy to eat it too - but then they were surprised to see noodles again. Definitely worth a go. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
