Spectacularly late to the party!
BIWI can I jump in, or shall I wait til the next go round?

TIA

Cereal twice a day will not be doing you any favours, honestly. Along with a glass of fruit juice, it's probably one of the worst breakfasts/meals you could have, from a blood sugar point of view.

Come and join us on the week 1 thread, and read up on the rules of Bootcamp which are all linked to on the spreadsheet (tabs on the bottom)

Rubbing? Hmm rubbish!

Report
SilverdaleGlen · 06/02/2017 23:49

Me too, though I have no idea what to eat and have been rubbing. My day has been-

Weetabix
Stuffed pasta
Hallumi chorizo and grapes

Guess it's better than the 2 cream eggs and Chinese takeaway I snarfed yesterday though Blush

I'm afraid you really have to. Fruit will add too much carb to your diet. Plus, we're also trying to break the hold over us that our sweet tooth has.

Though I'm not sure I'll be able to totally avoid fruit for two weeks. Chocolate, biscuits, alcohol yes, even though I do eat them now. But Fruit is going to be the hard one...

I'm in! lost a stone and a half on this exact bootcamp 2 years ago. have mostly kept it off but some crept back on over the autumn and I could do with the discipline of a proper bootcamp

Heffalumps I don't think there's a lot of fit with Dukan, if I'm honest. And I don't really think Dukan is truly low carb - all that oatbran really isn't low carb. Plus he allows artificial sweeteners.

But it's obviously up to you which method you choose - it has to be something that will work for you!

I am about to set up the spreadsheet. Names added after this post will need to be added to the sheet tomorrow morning.

P.S this is the first time I've been on my laptop in ages and I've just spotted Gin!

You can join in anytime Heff. This bootcamp will be running for 12 weeks I think.
Hope you find what works for you Thanks

HeffalumpsnWoozles · 05/02/2017 19:21

Thank you, just had a read & despite most of it being the same principals there's a few bits that won't match up. Will see how I get on and could well join up for the next boot camp if Dukan isn't doing the trick.

Thanks wombatto will check, Dukan is high protein low carb so for here's hoping.

wombattoo · 05/02/2017 19:12

Hello Heff - no such thing as a stupid question. I don't really know what Dukan involves. Have you looked at BIWI'S prep thread? It contains the rules for bootcamp. I think there is a link upthread. You will able to see if the 2 are compatible. Good luck

Report
HeffalumpsnWoozles · 05/02/2017 19:08

Possible a stupid question, can I join if I'm following Dukan 7steps? I assume LC is much the same. Apologies am new to this.
