Morning all. Today sees the start of week 3, which is when you can, if you wish, move on to Bootcamp Light. This means you can now introduce some fruit, some nuts and seeds and alcohol in moderation.
Note the bold formatting!
However you don't have to move on to Bootcamp Light if you don't want to. If it's working for you, then by all means stay on Bootcamp. Some people choose to do Bootcamp during the week but take a more relaxed approach at the weekend.
Here are carb counts for fruit - you can see that most of them are pretty high. These are taken from Sainsbury's website and show the amount of carbs per 100g:
Canteloupe melon 4
Raspberries 4.6
Blackberries 5.1
Galia/Honeydew melon 5.3
Passion fruit 5.8
Strawberries 6.1
Watermelon 6.8
Peach 7.5
Plums 8.8
Papaya 8.8
Nectarine 9
Blueberries 9.1
Pineapple 10.1
Kiwi 11
Apples 11.8
Mango 14.1
Lychees 14.3
Grapes 17
Pomegranate seeds 18.7
Banana 23.2
When it comes to nuts and seeds, these too vary widely:
Brazils 3.1
Walnuts 3.3
Pine nuts 4 (but beware - toasted pine nuts are 10)
Macadamias 5.3
Pecans 5.8
Desiccated coconut (technically a fruit!) 6.4
Almonds 6.9 (smoked almonds are 7.7)
Monkey nuts 9.3
Peanuts (salted) 10.9
Fresh coconut (from the chilled cabinet) 15.2
Cashews 18.1
(These carb counts for either salted or unsalted)
Seeds:
Sesame 0.9
Poppy 4.7
Chia 8.6
Pumpkin 15.2
Sunflower 16.4
As far as alcohol is concerned, the best drinks are clear spirits (gin/vodka/whisky/rum) but you need to be careful what mixer you're using. Soda is by far the best option, but if you want something else, you'll need to go down the artificial sweetener route to keep the carbs low.
Dry white wine and Champagne are OK, and red wine. Avoid beer and cider.

Week 3 - Sumer 19 Low Carb Bootcamp - Bootcamp Light?

Hellllooooooooo week 3! Hello Gordon’s, my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again 
Feeling very positive at the start of week three. My losses have been quite good, if erratic (week 3 stalls, I know, but it can still knock the morale). I think I’ll be doing Bootcamp during the week with a bit of relaxation at the weekend. There are some bakes involving ground almonds I want to try. Has anyone made fathead dough for pizza? I want to give it a go but it doesn’t half look sticky!
I stepped on the scale this morning and I am very pleased with the results. 4.6lbs lost. I will do a combination of BC and BClight. Happy Monday 
Finally moving. 4lbs down this week . I think I will stick to strict boot camp in the week to keep it going. Well done on losses and keep on going for anyone up or sts. Bring on the
I'm making Chilli this week (ds and dh love it and ds is separately trying to bulk up and wants more "easy" food around for him to eat as extra meals), so I'll be making a nice sofrito of blitzed leeks, carrots and shallots before adding the (high fat 
) mince and canned tomatoes (and lethal Chilli powder from the local Asian supermarket). I'll take out a portion for me before adding the kidney beans. Unfortunately I hate hate hate mushrooms so can't add them as a substitute.
Officially I'm a pound down. Given that I was at London Wine Fair last week and tasted over 100 wines (yes, I spat otherwise I'd have been as drunk as a skunk but I still end up swallowing some ) plus I only got to bed after 2 this morning and haven't done my exercises this morning or had a movement 
, I'm I retry pleased with that.
5lb off since the start if this Boot Camp. Gradually undoing the damage that my extended dive off the wagon incurred - and still well over 2 stone off from where I started 2 years ago
