2018 pre-Christmas Low Carb Bootcamp starts on 15 October

[BIWI]

Plenty of notice for everyone

If you're interested, sign up here.

Great, thank you. Looking forward to starting. I did low carb a few years ago and after the first 3-5days when ketosis kicked in felt amazing, flatter stomach, more energy and a lot happier. Just hope I can stick it out. Good luck everyone.

Please can I be added if it’s not too late? I’ve done the last two and felt bloody great on them but for reasons unknown to anyone I have completely fallen down the carb rabbit hole and I feel fat and ashamed ☹️😳 Am fully on board and ready to feel in control again 👊

Anyone else having a carby ‘last supper’ before the big day tomorrow?

I've been dropping carbs gradually as last time I tried cold turkey I got really bad carb flu!

All set now though - chicken thighs cooked for pack lunches, eggs in for breakfasts and have had very little high carb food after the past two day.

Right - here's the first week chat thread!

Sounds sensible Clash, think that’ll happen to me as my diet mostly consists of carbs and sugar
Still, enjoying tonight then on it tomorrow. I’ve bought lots of low carb veg, eggs, salmon fillets, pork belly and chicken.
Fingers crossed!

Can I please be added? My cousin gave me the info for this as it’s been amazing for her and I’m strugglinh to lose my baby weight from my 5 month old. I really neeed some help and something that works :)

Can I be added please? Saw a photo of my the other day and wanted to cry. Need to sort myself out!

Can't believe I've only just come across this! Would love to be added if possible, been looking everywhere for people doing this diet and reckon it's exactly what I need.

Of course you can join! Join the week 1 chat thread I linked to earlier, and find the spreadsheet, and put your name on at the bottom. (Don't try and insert it in the right place alphabetically - @AthelstaneTheUnready will do that later)

@RosalieAlys
@Lanaa
@lauzzalauzza

you're all on, and welcome!

Is it too late to sign up for the boot camp or can I still get in?

of course it's not too late! starting thread is here
we're all here and I'll add you to the list.

Blunt question: does this actually work without counting calories?

100% in fact it's the only thing that works for me

Thing is you probably eat more calories to begin with but after a while you feel a lot less hungry so you naturally consume fewer calories without having to count them. I can go from 7pm to 11am the following day not feeling the slightest bit hungry.

Thank you! hugs your ankles I find it very hard not to think in calories.

No problem! I only know because I input everything into mfp to see carbs but then you also see calories. You'll be amazed at how few you eat some days and feel fine because your blood sugar is stabilized really well. That's my experience anyway.

@StoatofDisarray

Ask as many blunt questions as you like!

Yes it absolutely does work without counting calories.

However, that doesn't mean you can pile your plate high! You need to eat sensible portion sizes.

As you get nearer your target, though, you will find that calories come more into play, and so you may have to start keeping an eye on them then.

But rest assured - a calorie is not a calorie is not a calorie.

A calorie of fat will have no impact on your insulin production, whereas a calorie of carbohydrate will. And it's the insulin that leads your body to lay down fat.

i cant find the link for the spreadsheet. It seems to have disappeared. I have the app already. Can someone send me the link again please or direct me where to find it. Thank you

Link is in the current Boot Camp thread (Week 4). Can't link as I'm on the app.

thank you so much
I found it
