Stopped Losing Weight On Dukan Diet: White Day Pure Protein Day
My knowledge of the Dukan Diet comes from various sources and apart from the Dukan Diet book itself, there are also the Dukan Diet’s official websites and Facebook pages. For example it has been by visiting the official Dukan Diet UK site at www.dukandiet.com that I discovered that you could eat up to three sugar free jellos a day and it is also where I found out about goji berries. However because Dr Dukan is continuing to fine tune his diet it can mean that you find conflicting advice and information.
One of the most recent additional pieces of information that I discovered is about the “White Day” pure protein only day which helps overcome weight loss stagnation and this information came from the Facebook pages of Dukan Diet – US. The “White Day” is a very easy variation of your normal PP day, where instead of allowing yourself to eat from the list of 72 protein foods, you limit yourself to just eating as much high quality white proteins as you like, such as white fish, chicken, turkey and eggs whites along with your normal serving of oat bran. You try to avoid all other foods including tolerated items and increase the amount of walking that you do.
Although following a “White Day” PP day fits within the rules of the Dukan Diet I would not personally eat like this on a regular basis as it is too restrictive and boring. I can however see that a boost of high quality protein combined with the additional exercise could well help get your weight loss moving again.

Hi Amber
I have been on the Attack phase for 3 days straight now (mostly eating chicken, beef, low fat cottage cheese and coffee). I have lost only 500g which is not much at all.
The thing is that I am already quite slender and would like to loose only about 2-3kg. I have also calculated my ideal weight and it is 53kg which is my current weight. Could that be the reason why I am not loosing any weight?
Many thanks!

Hi Lola
The nearer you get to your target weight the more difficult it is to lose weight. As you actually want to take your weight below the target weight your body may fight this making it even harder. It could be quite slow progress and your body is also likely to try to restore your body weight to the target weight as soon as you stop dieting so the consolidation phase might need to be a bit longer.
Kind regards

Can i eat sugar free jello pudding if made with fat free (skim)milk?
Amber on March 1, 2012
Hi Sandi
Yes you can but remember it has less calories when made with water.
Kind regards

Thanks, Amber. I appreciate your help.
I did see where you mentioned that the Light Whipped Topping, like Cool Whip, is out of the question. I know I had used that years ago on the Atkin’s diet and thanks for pointing this out.
I’ll be back when questions pop up.
Glad you’re out there!
Enjoy your day~

Hi
I have been on the Attack phase since last Tuesday. I lost two pounds on the 1st day and since that day have not lost anything. What would you recommend that I do?
Thanks
Karen

Hi Karen
It is difficult to work out why you’ve not lost weight as so many factors determine the rate at which our bodies gain or lose weight. You could check the level of calories that you are eating to make sure that it is low enough for you to be losing weight as it is sometimes easy to misunderstand the diet and eat the wrong foods. If you are eating the right level of calories to lose weight I would just advise you to be patient as the weight loss should follow.
Kind regards

Can I still have my coffee with ff milk in the white day pp?
Amber on October 15, 2011
Hi Faten
Yes you can!

Thanks a lot. How often do you make the white day pp?
Amber on October 18, 2011
Hi Faten
The food you eat on the White Day actually meets the rules for any PP day it is just more restrictive. I think that when you have been following the diet for a while the levels of protein that you eat can drop and the White Day makes you eat low calorie high protein food but I don’t consider it suitable for long term use. It is intended to be used to help you get through a period of stagnation so you would not expect to use it more than once every three or four weeks.
Best wishes
