Week One- Learning as We Go

The first week of the Dukan Diet. I'm going in having read a couple blogs about attempts, as well as the book. So I have some ideas, but really, you never know until you start.

WEEKLY SUMMARY
Weight Lost - John: 4.2kg (9.25lbs)      Sawa: 2.5kg (5.51lbs)
First week done. During this week I made two personal revelations.
The first is that you can go to a restaurant and find something you can eat.  Don't give into temptation and make sure to ask if there are low sodium/sugar free/oil free alternatives.
The second is that during the first (and possibly the second week), you'll run into friends, family, coworkers who will try to persuade you to give up, that the diet is dumb or won't work, or who just plain laugh that you're trying. Don't get too upset with them. If you stick to the diet and are losing weight and not cheating, I think most people will finally "give up" trying to discourage you.  In fact, a lot of people are really supportive. So don't be afraid to tell those around you what you're doing. If anything, it helps make you accountable.  If you're not the only one who knows you're dieting, then you won't be the only one who knows if you quit as well. And that's a strong incentive to keep going!
