I'll post more stuff about it over the next few days - what it's about, what you can/can't eat etc.

The key thing is that for the 10 weeks of Bootcamp, you're significantly reducing your carbohydrate intake, and specifically excluding:

potatoes
pasta
rice
bread
flour
sugar
chocolate
sweets
biscuits/crackers

from your diet.

You eat a high fat, medium protein and low carb diet.

For the first two weeks you also can't eat any fruit, nuts/seeds or drink alcohol. But after these two weeks, this is relaxed and you can re-introduce these (albeit in moderation).

I need to lose at least 2 stone Blush I'm in - been intrigued by this for a while so it would be good to get some group motivation.

Me too! I lost 5 and a half stone on BIWI's bootcamps last year. Fell off the wagon over Christmas and though I haven't regained more than a couple of pounds, I still have 2 more stones to lose.

BIWI - weird question for you - I've noticed that my memory isn't as good as it used to be and though this may be down to getting older, I've read on the internet that some studies show a high fat diet can affect the memory. Is that something you've heard about? Or maybe there are particular types of fat to be avoided?

I'll be joining but not weighing - am in between houses (divorced and living with mum while buying new house) and my scales are in storage. I will be judging weight loss by the fit of my clothes! Ideally hoping to lose a dress sizeSmile

Please count me in for my third bootcamp. Have started last week back to low carbing nearly back to weight at end of last bootcamp.
