If you haven't signed up yet then add your name to the sign-up thread. If you have any questions then you can ask them here or on the chat thread from the last Bootcamp.

If you haven't Bootcamped before then make sure to read the ten Low Carb Bootcamp rules. To summarise them:

  1. Eat three meals a day, plus snacks if you're hungry.
  2. Avoid processed foods and choose real foods as far as possible.
  3. Eat lots of fat. We're replacing carb calories with fat calories.
  4. Eat plenty of low carb vegetables and salad.
  5. Be careful about dairy apart from butter which is unlimited. Milk is high carb. Cheese, full-fat yogurt and cream are lower carb but I suggest no more than two portions per day.
  6. Drink a minimum of 2 litres of water per day. This can include herbal tea, bone broth, and bouillon.
  7. No alcohol for at least the first two weeks.
  8. No fruit for the first two weeks.
  9. No nuts/seeds for the first two weeks unless you are vegetarian.
10. No sugar or artificial sweeteners.

You will not be eating starchy foods such as bread, pasta, rice, cereals (yes even porridge), or flour. You will not be eating sugary foods such as cakes, desserts, sweet drinks including fruit juice, biscuits, honey, agave syrup, or balsamic vinegar.

You will be eating real foods: meat, fish, eggs, full-fat cheese and yogurt, healthy fats, and plenty of low carb vegetables. After the first two weeks you can move to Bootcamp Light and reintroduce some low carb fruits, nuts, seeds, and dark chocolate.

Thanks @StuntNun (love the name!) - sorry for posting on the wrong thread, a bit fuzzy headed this morning after the exercise, the meal prepping and generally getting into the swing of things.
