Come and sign up here if you want to join us - a 10 week camp this time, as per usual.

wineandrosesagain that is weird! However, a quick Google shows that there was a study done that showed that a no carb diet could have this affect.

However, Atkins have commented on this here, to say that it's a short term thing

Other sites fall upon this as evidence that low carbing is bad for you - so overall it's difficult to know what to believe, as there are so many vested interests at play!

The one thing I would say though, is if you are finding this consistently, it's probably worth talking to your GP.

... and I might also keep an eye on your diet to make sure that you're not going too low on the carb front.

I've checked in. I will be helping out with the spreadsheet but won't be around for the full bootcamp. I am going away early March but will be doing my best.

Wineandrosesagain · 29/01/2017 17:37

Thanks BIWI those links are reassuring and yes, I may have been a bit too low carb so need to keep an eye on that.

LazydaysofSummer · 29/01/2017 19:59

Count me in too, could do with losing a stone at least and having a weekly weigh in might just be the motivation I need.

I have a question. I have around half stone to lose. It's not a lot but I'm peri-menopausal, not very active and lose very, very slowly. I've been doing low-carb lite ( no alcohol, avoiding sugar, bread, pasta, fruit etc) since New Year and my weight is coming off very very slowly. Is it worth me doing BC to try and shift a few lbs quickly or should I go straight to BC lite and just accept the weight loss will be very slow? Thanks!

Thanks BIWI I'm hoping it will keep me motivated. Have done low carb before and the weight flew off but struggling under my own steam this time. I've been reading old threads and you all seen so knowledgeable and supportive.

I have been LCHFing again since 01/01/17 and as of this morning, I have lost 1 stone Grin Very, very happy.
Would like to lose another stone during BC, although we have a long weekend away in February and off to somewhere sunny, hopefully, at the beginning of April.

Flibbertyjibbit · 30/01/2017 12:05

I'm in, I've been low carbing since 16/01/2017 and lost 12.5lbs in 2 weeks. Would like to lose at least a stone during bootcamp.

Thanks Biwi, I will do. I managed dry January so I'm sure I can manage another couple of weeks off booze!
