Week 3 - Pre-Christmas '24 Low Carb Bootcamp: Full, Light or Hybrid?

Morning all.

To repeat my warning about week 3 (and possibly 4):

... just a word of warning for those of you new to low carbing (and a reminder to those who aren't!) - weeks 3 & 4 are notorious for seeing little or no weight loss. Sometimes you may even see a slight gain.

As long as you know you've been sticking to the rules, DON'T PANIC! This is very normal and we see it every Bootcamp (which has been going for 12 years now). KOKO and things will get going again.

From next week you can, if you wish, move on to Bootcamp Light, which will allow you to reintroduce (some) fruit, nuts and seeds, chocolate and alcohol. All in moderation, of course! And all should be low carb choices - i.e. berries rather than grapes or bananas, almonds rather than cashews, 70% minimum cocoa chocolate and dry wines and clear spirits rather than cider or lager.

Bearing in mind the advance warning about next week, you may decide to stay on Bootcamp if you wish - entirely up to you, as long as you really are including plenty of veg and salad in your menus. Or, you could consider a hybrid, so Bootcamp during the week and Bootcamp Light at the weekend.

Here's the spreadsheet

Good luck all who sail in week 3! Flowers

Maybe you could also try using konjac rice @RockyRogue1001 if the cauli rice doesn’t work out? Was just thinking that if you dry fry it enough it would still have some stickiness, and for once the slight fishiness might actually complement the nori wrap and salmon or tuna filling if you’re going with that?

I don't know what konjac rice is, but I'll investigate (and report back?)

Konjac rice and noodles are really useful. We usually rinse and rinse them to get rid of the fishy smell. This by NASHI is the best konjac rice we've found ( the cat is going to be seriously disappointed ) 🤣

It’s often called Skinny Rice on the packet @RockyRogue1001 - @islandtiger’s suggestion looks good or I also pick it up in either Holland & Barrett or Waitrose/bigger supermarkets

Please do report back!

Oh! I know the barenaked noodles.
They work really well.

Fab.

Will look out for the rice!

Thanks guys x

Thank you all for the kind wishes. A bruised coccyx is a very painful thing indeed. The meds are playing havoc with my stomach and system but when I go without them the pain is awful. Thank you @CleanQueen123 - the cushion is a lifesaver.
