Morning.
I see that some of us are struggling.
I see that there is a lot of cheating.
Hmm. I wonder if there is a connection 
Seriously folks, this is not a terribly forgiving WOE. The idea of Bootcamp Light was to give you a bit more flexibility, but not to send you spiralling into a chocolate and alcohol-fuelled frenzy!
Come and confess all on the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness or on your own personal Weight Tracker
Remember that weight loss may stop in weeks 3 and 4 - sometimes 5. It takes this long for your body to become keto adapted, i.e. to switch fully from carb-burning to fat-burning.
And if you're continually pushing up your daily carb intake, all you are doing is delaying this process
Hope you all have a good week.

Low-carb bootcamp
Week 4 Low Carb Bootcamp - Keep on keeping on

Thanks lovely BIWI
Three pounds gone from me, will be sticking with bootcamp, with mostly bootcamp at weekends.
Have a good day all 
Gosh 2lbs up! Not giving up although I definitely need to look at what I'm doing.
Good luck one and all 
I’m really sorry but think I am going to have to bow out of bootcamp. I am just not losing weight on it and, as that’s my ultimate goal, I need to find something that works for me.
I know why I’m not losing, I’m not sticking to it, but I don’t see a time when I will ever be able to commit to such a strict regime 24/7 so I think I need to find something that’s a little more flexible.
I have really enjoyed the food and genuinely believe that this WOE is the best way to go, it’s just too hard for me to stick to.
Whatever I try I will never go back to artificial products and will also do my best to stick to proper carbs when I eat them.
Thank you to everyone on this thread for your support, especially BIWI for setting it all up. A month is the longest I have stuck to any diet for a very long time and I wouldn't have been able to do it without you all 
1lb off! Very pleased with progress as I don't have much left to lose
I am loving this WOE, especially since a little redwine and a G&T (slimline) at the weekend did not seem to stall me, yay!
Btw, something was odd with spreadsheet as my numbers were all incorrect. I have entered my correct numbers in again.
Well, I lost a bit during the week but this morning it's gone back on, grrrr. Not been doing the water thing nearly enough, though, and had a wee bit of carb creep over the weekend.
But! I am definitely slimmer - my waist has reappeared, my belt is a notch tighter and the muffin top is fading away. So, sod the scales, I'm feeling bony bits again
Someone (sorry, can't remember who 
) asked on the last thread about Lidl linseeds. They have a range called Crownfield which does cereals etc, that's where I found them. I bought milled linseed with blueberry and cranberry, and crunchy linseed with apple and hazelnut. They look quite carby if you go by the per 100g figures but I find a teaspoon of each stirred into yoghurt more than enough, so I would think absolute max 5g carbs each time, probably less in fact. They are yummy and give a bit of much needed crunch!
Am going to have a fat +++ and water +++ day. At home with a poorly ds so no excuse. On my first bulletproof coffee - have to say that even for me (who has never had a problem with eating fat), putting butter into my coffee seems very strange! But it is weirdly delicious.
Good luck all this week! Will try to do a bit more conversing and a little less shit shouting
Chester, have you considered primal/paleo? Same fundamentals as LC but more relaxed on the 'good carbs', ie sweet potato, the odd bit of rice, honey etc.
It's what I tend to gravitate towards when I've been LC for a while and want to ease off a bit on the strictness. It's still about eating clean but you might find it a bit more forgiving. Sorry to see you go, though 
Lost 9lbs in total, quite happy with the result but have a confession to make too
It was DS's 1st birthday. I just had to have some cake. And some other finger foods and then a glass of wine at night to celebrate the fact that we'd made it through the whole year and also the party

I conveniently forgot to weigh this morning. Just as well as have been off the wagon since Tuesday.
Like Chester I find it very restrictive unfortunately. I'm not giving up entirely but am trying a less restrictive low carb WOE. No crap carbs. Nothing made from wheat or sugar. I have done this before and it worked. Cutting out wheat and sugar gets rid of so much crap. I also won't have potatoes or rice. No white carbs basically.
I also went for an initial assessment at an alternative health therapy centre and am going back on Thursday. It involves hypnotherapy, dealing with emotional eating, nutritional analysis and food sensitivity testing and acupuncture. I need to do something to change my mind set. And I figure if you always do what you always did you always get what you always got! My most successful 'diet' was weight watchers two years ago. I lost 3 stone. But then struggled. And I have a very strong 'oh sod it' trigger. I have put back on two stone of the three I lost. And I can't seem to stick to anything for longer than a week. My wine habit doesn't help. So although it might all seem a bit 'woo' I am open to anything that might help me with the mental approach as I think it's by far my biggest issue.
So although I am not boot camping strictly I would like to stick around if that's ok.
