Tips: travel, we make our own beef jerky, and the muffins travel easily as well, drink with hot coffee (coffee appears to always be available everywhere) As for the work week menu, why chicken and turkey? Food is just that, food, why spend time and money on simple nutrition. The work week is busy and chicken and turkey are safe simple proteins that make life easy for weight loss. At the end of the day if you find yourself sarcastically mocking this menu, then ask yourself. HOW BAD DO YOU WANT TO BE FIT AND TRIM?

Grouping November FOTD

This is a grouping of pictures taken over the month. My favorite is the last pic of me in my stripe sweater and surprised face, wearing my hand painted oxford shoes.

Veterans Day 2011 Celebration Pizza

This is what we did Veterans Day, stayed home, crackling fire in the living room fireplace, Christmas music from Pandora.com...My father was a military man, (army, Vietnam war) and my Grandfather, "Papaul", also served in the military.

Pizza, crust, Dukan Pancake, homemade tomato sauce, fresh raw mushrooms, low fat turkey bacon, fat free mozzarella cheese, and raw yellow onion, cooked in oven till cheese is gooey melted. Mmm

meringue dukan recipe cookie

Meringue Cookies -Dukan

4 egg whites (Allowed to come to room temperature if necessary) 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar                                                                                                   1 cup of zero calories sugar substitute –using loose splenda in bag

1.Put the egg whites in a clean, dry, grease-free bowl with the cream of tartar and whisk until the egg whites form soft peaks that hold their shape.

2.Add the sweetener one tablespoon at a time.

3.When all the sweetener has been added, continue whisking until the egg whites become glossy and form stiff peaks that hold their shape.

4.Using a piping bag with a large star nozzle pipe your meringue on to parchment paper placed on a baking sheet.

5.Place in a preheated cool oven at 250°F, 130°C or Gas Mark 1/2 for 30 minutes when the meringues should be crisp and dry. 6.Turn the oven off and allow the meringues to cool in the oven for a further 30 minutes.

7.When completely cool, store in an air tight container until needed, for up to seven days.

Dukan Bran Muffin Recipe

I eat one of these a day as part of my daily calorie intake following the Dukan Diet. I like this recipe, it is easy, and taste good. The only time I dont eat one of these muffins is Saturday when I make a bran pancake as the dough for homemade pizza.

Ingredients:
Dry: mix in small bowl the following
3 TBSP cinnamon (takes a lot due to bland flavor)
24 TBSP oat bran ( I could do the math to figure the 24TBSP=cup? but I don't and here is why. Oat bran settles and it would be really easy to get to much and add carbs and calories
Dash of baking powder about 1/4 tsp
1 cup splenda

Wet: Whisk together until creamy
1 cup fat free unflavored greek yogurt
8 whole large eggs, yolk is optional, I add it for flavor and it is the only yolk I eat all week.
1 tsp real vanilla extract
optional in addition for flavor
1 tsp banana extract or 1/2 tsp almond or any preferred extract flavor

Now mix dry into wet. Spray a muffin pan with non stick spray, pour and spray tops of raw muffins with spray, bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove to cool. After about 5 minutes, use a silicone rubber spatula to run along the edges and with a spinning motion remove from pan. Let cool and enjoy

This was taken from an airport scanner two women going side by side, 250lbs, vs 120lbs. Besides the basic differences in body tissue the enlarged heart really motivates me to stay thin

Yes you can with Dukan

Dukan website

I read the book, and feel great this summer.

Just a fan

The Mesquite Creek blog is not associated, affiliated in any way with Dukan, I just like it. I purchased the book with my own funds. No gain is given to the owner of this blog from Dukan.
