New Year, New Start Boot Camp - Sign up thread

[prettybird]

Wee thread for people wanting to start/do another Boot Camp in the New Year.

It will be starting formally on 8 January with pre-Boot Camp preparatory thread the week before.

In light of BIWI's sabbatical, a few of us have volunteered to run it in her place. She has lent us her Big Stick to wield as appropriate. I will be starting the Boot Camp off and doing the first couple of weeks and am hoping that others will then step forward to take over from Week 3.

SayrraT has kindly said that she would set up a new Spreadsheet of Fabulousness for it - so sign up here to say you want to be on it. I have put a few names down that I know are wanting to do the new Boot Camp, just to get the list started. Copy and paste to add your name at the bottom.

Hi all, I would love to join in if that's ok? I'm brand new to mn so please excuse any faux pas, but I have read lots of the previous bc threads. I've been low carbing for over a year and have been on maintenance for the past 6 months or so. After a very indulgent Christmas and new year I feel like I could do with the support to get back on track! I won't post a weight as not looking to lose if that's ok. I love reading other people's food diaries and the amazing recipe ideas on the threads!

Littleladylawyer - you don't need to add your name to the spreadsheet. Plenty of people don't, and just use the weekly threads for support, advice, ideas and occasional need for the Big Stick

I'll post up a link on here to the Week 1 thread once I've started it tomorrow.

Hi I've added my name to the list, I'm returning to mumsnet after a long break, bringing with me an additional 25 pounds!

Add your name tomorrow when I post up the link to the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness.

Welcome back to MN - and enjoy the support on the Boot Camp threads

As above, any names added after my post on 5th December at 0732 will NOT be on the spreadsheet

You will have to add them onceprettybird posts the link tomorrow.

Evening all from Down Under (where it’s already Monday morning).

It’s great to see so many people signed up, and very strange knowing that I’m not in charge this time 😀

Good luck everybody. If you haven’t low carbed before, you might feel a bit rough for a few days initially. This is called carb flu. If it happens to you, make sure you’re drinking plenty of water, and keep your fat levels high. You also need to make sure you’re getting plenty of salt, so cook with it, add it to your food. Your other electrolytes also need to be balanced - magnesium and potassium - so foods like salmon, spinach, avocado and full fat yoghurt will all help.

Please don’t try and low carb without keeping your food high fat. This is really important. We’ve been sold a lie over the last 30-40 years about fat making you fat, or being bad for you.

Read the resources on the spreadsheet to help you understand the science behind low carbing, but also why fat is good for you and carbohydrates much less so.

💐

If it is not too late to join, can I put my name down??

Ah, I see I was meant to say earlier. Oh well.

It's not too late Grand. You can just get added to the spreadsheet. Or add yourself.

Here is a link to the Week 1 thread. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/low_carb_bootcamp/3133466-New-Year-New-Start-Boot-Camp-Week-1-Now-we-get-down-to-it-in-earnest?watched=1 Anyone not on it can just add themselves to the bottom and at some point it will be re-ordered alphabetically. NB: there is no obligation to "sign up" on the spreadsheet - you can just follow the threads. Howevever, some of us find the weekly weigh-ins useful for accountability and/or motivation.
