I admit, this wasn’t an easy habit to get into, yet when I do it, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. I believe many of us “eat with our eyes” first. Even though Dukan and similar programs have no portion restrictions or calorie counting – you will find that you are just as satisfied, on LESS food, and feeling less stuffed, if you include this trick. Perhaps start with lunch instead of dinner, or do it the first time when you know you aren’t starving (which you shouldn’t be anyway). This is grilled (actually 10 minutes in the convection) salmon with dry seasoning, and frozen brussel sprouts I nuked. This is no small portion anyway (Cruise Meal and beyond). This dinner is on a salad plate, as you can see the fork in proportion to the plate. My EYES saw this full plate and I like that. Try it. Trust me. Take care, Margo

Easy Skillet Vegetables: Tiny bit of water, splash of balsamic and splash of soy sauce. Simmer to your liking: Bell Pepper (I used orange ones), Red Onion, Button Mushrooms, Tomatoes. Toss in fresh spinach at the end. Delicious tasting and looking. Great side dish for any meal. Takes no time at all.

Weight Watchers and Dukan Diet Friendly Pizza. INGREDIENTS: Cauliflower, one head grated or "riced" makes 4 of these. Add, equal parts cauliflower, fat free shredded cheese. I use cheddar and motz. Smush down hard. KEY: PAPER TOWEL DRY THE RICED CAULIFLOWER. It will brown and crisp way easier if you lay it on paper towel, then put one on top, and press. Get the moisture out first. Bake 450 on parchment paper 20 min or so, add more vegies and marinara. I added cut up orange peppers, grape tomatoes, red onion, mushrooms and leftover chicken breast.

DUKAN DIET Easy Roast Vegies with Grill Mates

This oven vegetable recipe is low effort. I like make a bunch at once, so on "Cruise" days, you can just nuke what you need, or eat cold in salads or as cold side dish. Red onions are very sweet when cooked; love them. I just cut broccoli and red onion. I laid them on parchment paper (doesn't stick) but THIS time, I added for flavor (FLAVOR keeps it different and interesting) generous sprinkles of another post I did here: McCormick "Grill Mates" MONTREAL STEAK. I know,it says "steak" but fugetaboutit. This stuff is good on EVERYTHING.. especially vegies. Makes them flavorful and savory!! NUM! Spread out, spritz with regular or oil olive "Pam" or any nonstick spray. 350 degrees for an hour or more, to your liking. Done. (toss 'em around halfway through).
