Gained .2 pounds!
I'm holding back on the freakout until AFTER this monthly water retention fest is over.
Still under the 1st goal mark.
My husband is doing the Dukan diet with me, but with his own "revisions", which
include unlimited beer, mayonnaise, toast and occasional binges on potato chips.
He will not tell me how much weight he's lost, because he doesn't want me to fly
into a rage. LOL, he's a VERY smart guy!
It is frustrating to have such a great metabolism! I could survive a period of famine
better than anyone I know. 
As far as the exercises go...Dr. Dukan insists that in addition to walking, 4 different
exercises should be done. One for the stomach, one for the backs of the arms, one
for "buttocks", and one for thighs. They are detailed in the chapter entitled: Being Active
I haven't done them. I figure my swimming will tone my arms, thighs and buttocks!
The stomach, well, I think I need to lose another 25 lbs before I even begin to tackle THAT business.
As far as the protein requirements on the PV days, the book says to eat 2/3 protein to 1/3 vegetables.
Protein must reign supreme to stay in ketosis.... I'm thinking of picking up some test strips
to check for ketosis.
