Today was my first day on the "cruise phase". Called this way because it has been created to litterally cruise you to your ideal weight, it's not very different from the attack phase for two reasons:
1) You just add vegetables to the pure protein diet (and add half a spoon of oatbran)
2) You alternate it with the pure protein one.
It means that I'm not free to eat vegetables everyday, but I have to alternate a period of veggie-allowed diet with a pure protein period. In his book Dukan gives various alternatives, depending on how many kilos you need to lose or just your preference. You can choose for exemple to eat vegetables + proteins for five days and then to eat pure proteins for the next five days.
Personally I chose another way suggested by the book, the 1+ 1. It means that I'm gonna have vegetables every two days. I think it's the best way, because after a long period of pure proteins like the attack phase, I need to give my body (and mind) a break, feeding it with something different, with a different taste and consistance. The only thing is that the losing weight factor is slowed down respect to the 5 +5 choice. On the other side the 1+1 it's more "safe", I mean that it's easyer to give up if you make the pure proteine phase last longer and your body will try harder to make you give up with the diet, also your mind would be bored by the same food everyday. Here's this morning weight and today's meals.
