I'm a big fan of the Attack Phase and I love the all protein portion of the diet as long as I have a good variety in my meals.
So I'd recommend that anyone serious about weight loss give the Attack Phase a serious chance, go for 10 days. I suspect you'll lose 8-10 lbs, I lost a pound/day. It will really motivate you to continue.
With that initial weight loss you will feel so good about the diet that it's hard to drop out. I suspect you'll feel pretty good both physically and mentally and the loose clothing will be a constant reminder that things are working.
NOW, for my admission of failure to adhere, I tend to stay in perpetual Attack Phase and Cruise Phase. AND, in Cruise Phase I go 2-3 PP days (Dr. Dukan himself originally suggested something like this but relented to make it more palatable for all), then I go just 1 PV day. So I'm constantly getting 2-3 Attack.
I have just started to add a slice of whole grain bread but only 1 slice.
Yesterday:
Breakfast: 2 Eggbeater omelet with 2 slices deli ham and my oat grits. 200 calories.
Snack: 4-5 slices of Oscar Mayer DeliFresh smoked turkey dipped in mustard. 50 calories.
Lunch: 4-5oz of salmon seasoned with smoked Spanish paprika and onion powder. 300 calories.
Snack: 0% fat cottage cheese, with some OM DeliFresh ham slices 150 calories
Dinner: Grilled chicken breast seasoned with Creole seasoning, and cottage cheese. 380 calories.
About 1100 calories and I was full all day.
Good luck.
