Pickled Onion Overdose!

Is it possible to overdose on pickled onions?
If it is then I am definitely in the running! LOL
One of the things allowed on the Dukan diet even when you are on your protein only days is onions.....strange but true.....added to which you can have the usual salt, pepper, mustard and seasonings including vinegar........well it's fine by me.....I like pickled onions but I don't usually eat a jar and half every week.....a jar usually lasts me a good month, often much longer!!!


How come I have been happily eating my yogurt and raspberries every morning.....perhaps a sandwich for lunch......a jacket potato and chili or red pepper pasta for evening meal (all without anything high calories like butter I might add) and not thinking once about eating between meals?
Now I can't seem to think of anything else but what I can eat next that is not protein!!! HOL

Hence the overdosing on pickled onions!
I'm taking a multi vitamin to be on the safe side whilst I'm on this diet.....it does not sit very comfortably with me but needs must :(
As long as I keep loosing weight.....and I know it's early days but it is working.....I'll persevere but as soon as it stops working and my weight stays static.....I'm back to eating the stuff I enjoy that kept me at a static weight for the past 8 weeks!!!! LOL

  4. Well done you...but all them pickled onions... I do love them too, but I still don't think I could eat that many...
    I am the same when on a diet..I think of nothing but what I can eat next !!! I have a thing for raw carrots at the moment.. so LBS of them are being consumed weekly...
    better than chocolate...(maybe)is what I keep telling myself

  8. By the 'eck lass, don't go near a naked flame!!!!
    Funny I hate onions but can eat pickled ones. They are mourish. Like Hels' gran, I used to make my own, plus pickle, jam, museli and a whole host of other things. Far too expensive today. Keep up the weight loss, just don't go too far or no-one will ever find you again. lol

  10. I adore pickled onions and still make my own just as my Nin showed me and I make them nice and spicey! I also pickle red cabbage and chutneys.
    Well done so far and good luck with the diet.
