Next Low Carb Bootcamp starts 21/7 and is only a 5 week one - sign up here!

[BIWI]

Next Bootcamp is going to be a slightly different one from the norm.

It's only going to be for 5 weeks, but it's going to be stricter than the others.

The plan is that the first week will be Ubercamp, which is a no dairy version of Bootcamp; weeks 2 and 3 will be Bootcamp and then weeks 4 and 5 will be Bootcamp Light.

If you just want to Bootcamp (rather than Ubercamp) you're still more than welcome to join!

Anyway, if you want to join in, sign up here.

Add your name to the list, and cut & paste it into a new post.

Not the most knowledgable but I think a squeeze is okay, strawberry or lemon is better I think. :/ Not entirely sure on that one. I think once you start, getting the water in is easier than you think is for me, I ended up really thirsty, especially if you are using enough salt.

Hi Biwi, hope I am not too late. Thought I had added myself but stoopid machine didn't paste...although it may be the operator Would be grateful if someone could do for me please..

Lime and lemon are OK. Slice it up and put it in a jug of water in the fridge. No strawberries on BC. They are BC Lite. In theory its no sweeteners. the idea is to train your taste buds away from sweet tasting things. I admit to cutting back slowly but some prefer the cold turkey approach. Now I find quite odd things taste sweet and anything actively sweetened is too much for me. Try it, its very liberating to lose those sweet cravings.

Schro - being thirsty, despite drinking lots of water, is a sign that you're not eating enough salt!

Earlybird - honey and stevia are both out, I'm afraid! Honey is out because it's a sugar. Stevia is out because although it's natural, it's still a sweetener and we are trying to break the hold that sweet things have over us.

Oops! I eat loads of salt too, add it to everything and then add some more! I have POTS though, so may need more salt than most. :) Sorry about that!

thanks pisses

Ooh exciting. Good luck everybody!

Darn - thought the stevia might work as I move away from sugar. Guess it really is cold turkey.

Stuntnun - thanks for the cucumber tip. I'll give it a go.

Next question: no bread is allowed. Can I fix baked chicken lightly coated with panko breadcrumbs? I think not, but worth asking....

Nope

It's not as hard as you think it will be. And it's infinitely more difficult if you only piddle along and don't fully commit. Plus it just won't work.

Hmmm, no panko....not even if the recipe came from a blog called SkinnyMum?

I know, I know. Thanks for the advice......i suppose...!

Please can someone add me to the spreadsheet? Thanks

me too please

sorry I seem to have got more than 1 post in the 1st one

Is sugar free gum allowed?

Earlybird if you aren't doing Ubercamp the. You can have Parmesan 'breadcrumbs'. I have heard of people crushing up pork scratchings for 'breadcrumbs' as well but I've never tried it.

If sugar-free gum contains artificial sweeteners, Lighthousekeeping, then no!

The only time I'd say yes during the first two weeks of Bootcamp would be if you were really suffering from the bad taste in the mouth that sometimes happens when you go into ketosis. And even then, that should only last for a couple of days.

Once you're on to Bootcamp Light you can occasionally have sweeteners.

Remember - it's not just about the sugar/carbs, it's about breaking the hold that sweet things have over us.

Ubercamp Week 1 thread is here

Id like to join too if thats still possibe:
