Run-up-to-summer Low Carb Bootcamp starts on 16 May

[BIWI]

Sign up here if you want to join!

I've ordered the IPD book and the cookbook for under £6 from eBay :) now waiting for the spreadsheet of amazingness to go up ready for tomorrow!

I've been doing a sort of introductory low carb. Mostly sticking to boot camp rules but eating up the blueberries I had in that I normally have with porridge for breakfast.

I did slip a bit with the Sunday roast today though. DH is away (he normally does roasts), so I simplified things by not doing potatoes or stuffing because DC don't like either, but Yorkshire puddings are the whole point of roasts for them so I had to do them. They turned out great so I had to have one or two, it's the first time I've done them :)

I'm considering it my pre-boot camp blow out . Will be on it tomorrow for sure.

Been low-carbing for several months, just not strict enough for much weight loss. DH is diabetic and his sugars and HbA1c have significantly improved. So I'd like to be stricter for a while and see how we get on. I did get bad carb flu/ additional migraines at first so will be looking out for tips on how to alleviate that.

I'm starting to question how I'm going to be able to fit this into my life. I'm really keen to go for if because I have a major sugar/white carb addiction and it causes me to binge eat. However, I have 2 young fussy children and a husband who is dairy intolerant. We have a tight food budget so we currently only eat meat and fish once or twice a week, we use carbs and pulses as basis of meals.

I don't see how I'll be able to fit this woe into family life without spending a fortune and cooking three separate meals!

Any tips from those who've done it before?

Eggs will be your saviour!

And fatty meat, which is what you want to be eating, is generally much cheaper than other cuts. So buy Basics/Value mince, for example - it's perfectly fine to eat, just high fat which means lots of people don't want to buy it. Chicken thighs rather than chicken breasts - you can buy a pack of 6 in Sainsbury's for £3. Shin of beef, pork belly and lamb breast are all cheap cuts.

Have a read of the recipe thread, stickied at the top of the Bootcamp topic for lots of lovely recipes.

Do those who eat low carb manage to maintain their weight loss?

As much as possible, aim to cook the same meals for all of you. It makes life so much easier!

Really appreciate your reply Biwi, that's great pointers, hadn't thought about slow cooking type meats.

Strawberry I am dairy free and low carb...I'll post some ideas on the recipe thread. If you google low carb paleo you might have a better chance of finding recipes.

granjinx - yes! But as long as they have come to appreciate the level of carbs that they can tolerate on a daily basis. It's different for everyone

Thanks BIWI - am really keen and am determined to do my utmost. Will the spreadsheet be available soon?

Could someone please add my name. For some reason I'm struggling to copy and paste
Thank you
