Summer Popsicle

Want to burn calories while enjoying a tasty treat? Try a spectacular Popsicle!

What you need:

• Kool-Aid packet in a flavor you like
• 2-3 cups of Splenda
• 2 quarts of water
• Popsicle ice tray 

What to do:

Mix Kool-Aid packet as described on package, but double or triple the sweetener for freezing. Normal directions aren't sweet enough in frozen form.  Poor into popsicle tray and freeze.  Come back later and enjoy!

Note: Eating frozen foods burns calories and helps weight loss.  After a few days if I haven't lost any weight I will make a batch of these and the next day I am back going down. 

Down 11.4 lbs in 19 days!

Safely and easily I have lost 11 lbs and my husband has lost 15 lbs.  I will show you what we are eating...what sucks and what rocks as we go along.  Hopefully, you will be inspired and loose that weight too!  

We did an Attack phase of 10 days and are alternating Cruise every other day.

Delicious Dukan Dessert Crepes

This is a very easy and satisfying Dukan Diet friendly dessert.  My husband loves it and this recipe can be used at anytime including the Attack phase.  If in Attack phase reduce oat bran amount by half a tablespoon.  Enjoy! 

Filling

·         8 oz fat free cream cheese (room temperature)

·         ½ cup Splenda

·         Vanilla extract to taste

Put all ingredients in a bowl, mix thoroughly and chill in refrigerator until finished with crepe making.

Crepe

·         2 tablespoons oat bran

·         2 tablespoons non-fat plain Greek yogurt

·         ¼ cup egg whites

Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.  Use a nonstick frying pan on medium heat.  Add about a 1/3 of crepe mix in pan (about 4 large silverware spoons) and evenly spread out like a little pancake.  Once edges of crepe are golden brown flip.  Turn burner off and let that side cook on its own; this side will be white, but cooked.   Turning the burner off between crepes cools the pan enough to easily spread the mix for the next crepe.  Having the burner too high will result in uneven and most likely burnt crepes.  Repeat process; this should make three small thin crepes.

Now that the hard stuff is over, simply place the crepe white side up and scoop some filling on the crepe.  With a spoon spread an even layer over the whole white side of crepe, and roll up loosely.  Repeat for all three.  To add more flavor you can put some filling on top of the crepes, and/or add some sugar free syrup to the top.

Note: This will make one serving of crepes with left over filling.  The filling can be used for 2-4 servings of crepes depending on how much you use. 

*In this picture we used sugar free (made with Splenda) Smuckers chocolate syrup, but it was a little bitter.  I'd recommend trying a different syrup if you want to add one.
