DUKAN "Surf & Turf" Cruise phase

This meal is a Dukan Cruise (maintenance for me) dinner that works for most ALL weight Loss and maintenance programs. I reheated leftover sirloin steak and salmon made on the grill. With that, I put cut up vegies in a skillet with fat free chicken broth for flavor and a splash of soy sauce. Simmered them until cooked to my taste and topped off with fat free feta. Cruise phase and forward for this one.

Clairol Root Touch Up

I don't usually go so personal, BUT, I get asked how I do my hair. I wanted that darker ends look for depth yet I didn't want to do that drastic roots to tips underside layer many women do. So, I purchased the Clairol Medium Brown root touch up kit. In TEN minutes it's done. I mixed the stuff (really easy) and just painted it on my dry styled hair, where I wanted the ends darker. It IS that easy. I put some on my bangs in the middle and did my ends, and then sort of painted it on in streaks here and there. I LOVE this low lighted look. Adds a fun flair of color and richness and depth. So easy to do yourself, and I always get great compliments on this look. Do more or less for subtle depth, or the root to tip thing. There is enough in the one box for that.

Weight Loss and Heart Healthy Porridge

This “porridge” is great for Dukan Diet or any other No Sugar, No Fat weight loss program. You may use Steel cut oats instead of Oat Bran as recommended by Dukan guidelines, depending on which phase. I am in maintenance and love blending steel cut oats with the oat bran, as steel cut are more chewy and hearty. INGREDIENT OPTIONS (I prefer a non chocolate porridge since it’s mostly for breakfast but unsweetened cocoa works) Oat Bran (and/or Steel cut oats) Yogurt non fat greek Skim Milk Sugar and Fat Free maple syrup Cinnamon Goji Berries (or any berry, depending on phase) Non Sugar sweetener to taste if you don’t use syrup Fill container with dry ingredients, cover about one half inch with skim milk. Mix with spoon to get bottom stuff and shake. Add yogurt and rest of ingredients and shake. Let it sit overnight and soak up all the goodness and enjoy.
