I found breakfast the most difficult meal when I started the Dukan Diet Attack phase.
My usual breakfast was sugar free muesli , with low fat milk, low fat yoghurt, fruit and honey. I thought this was a good healthy breakfast. Well, of course it is compared to many breakfast cereals, which are packed with sugar, or toast, butter and jelly or jam, or a muffin on the go, if that's your usual breakfast. However, if you're on the Dukan Diet you can't eat any cereals, or fruit, or sugar.

Here's what I have for breakfast on the Dukan Diet Attack phase
Low fat yogurt , sweetened with Splenda, with a spoonful of goji berries and a spoonful of the oat bran. (I also add a little wheat bran, which is allowed, to help with the digestive process. You need to know that constipation can be a problem, and wheat bran helps!)
Leave the bran and the berries to soak in a little milk for a few minutes- they bulk out and taste better.Add yoghurt ( with a flavoring like vanilla if you wish), top with Splenda, mix and enjoy.

Other breakfast ideas for the Dukan Diet Attack Phase
Eggs- boiled poached, or scrambled without fat.
Porridge made with oat bran.
The Dukan Galette ( pancake) There are lots of recipes for this, but it's basically a mix of beaten egg, yogurt or creme fraiche, oat bran and sweetening or flavorings.

If you like a meaty breakfast, have a slice of turkey or chicken.

During the Dukan Diet Attack Phase you will shed the pounds fast.
Buy yourself some new great, accurate digital scales and watch the weight go down .

You can eat all the steak, chicken ( no skin) and fish you like, but you can't eat all those dressings and sauces that you used to pour over everything.
Make your own Dukan Diet dressings, using fat free yogurt, lemon juice, sweetener if you wish, salt, pepper, herbs. spices and my top tip- Balsamic vinegar.
Balsamic vinegar is quote pricey, but a little goes a long way. Dr Dukan says "learn to love Balsamic vinegar" !
Don't buy ready made "diet" sauces. They may not be correct for the Dukan Diet- they might have hidden problems, and they can be expensive.
Instead, experiment with yogurt based sauces to add flavour and moisture. Meat and fish on its own is dry, and can be hard to enjoy.
By adding lovely creamy yogurt sauces and dressings, you will get to love the Dukan Diet Attack phase meals.
These meals are going to be part of your ongoing Dukan Diet protein only days, so get to know what suits you. Enjoy eating, and enjoy watching the weight fall off.

Did you think that fruit was something you ate loads of on a weight loss diet?
I did. I love fruit, and have always eaten lots of fruit every day.
However, fruit contains fructose, which is a type of sugar, and fruit is a carbohydrate, which is totally off limits on the Dukan Diet Attack Phase.
I didn't realise that sugar free jello ( jelly in the UK) existed before I started the Dukan Diet. I also didn't realise that you are allowed to eat sugar free jello/jelly in all stages of the Dukan Diet.
You can buy ready made pots of sugar free Hartley's jelly if you live in the UK. You can get better value by buying Hartleys Sugar Free Blackcurrant Jelly 23g from Amazon.co.uk.
It's easy to make, and you can mix it with fat free yogurt, sweetened with Splenda if you wish, for a satisfying dessert that is completely fine for the Dukan Diet Attack Phase.
