I am really a pescatarian but mostly veggie.

I am new to both low carb and boot camp.

I’m hoping i can get stuck in.

For those who want to know more before we start, here's a copy of one of our recent spreadsheets. (I've removed all the names for privacy purposes)

Have a look at the tabs at the bottom for the rules, information, resources and some recipes. If you have any other questions, just ask here (or PM me if you'd prefer)

Very excited to get my head back in the right place, eating low carb. I always feel so much better without the carbs and with the whole foods!
Thank you @BIWI and @FinallyHere for running the thread and spreadsheet.

Sorry, but if you're going to join Bootcamp you won't be eating ANY fruit for the first two weeks! (The rest of what you're doing is perfect though )

My ultimate aim is 133lbs, but short term I want to get - and STAY - below 140lbs. Currently hovering around 142 ish, but really struggling to get any lower, so need a bootcamp to see off a few lbs.

I really should lose a few pounds pre Christmas.
Can you do this if you have high cholesterol?

Low carbing helps to reduce cholesterol for most people. But it's not always the case - have a read of this

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/low-carb-diets-and-cholesterol#TOC_TITLE_HDR_2

One question - do you have Familial Hypercholesterolemia?

@BIWI no I don’t have that. I take a nightly statin that is controlling my cholesterol somewhat but it’s still a little high.

Hi I’m interested in joining but have to drink electrolytes everyday. They all have sweeteners or sugar in them. Would it still work for me?

Welcome @Cherryblossomcottage - can I ask why you have to drink electrolytes every day?

@WinterfellsStarbucksConcession the Diet Doctor website has a lot of info about cholesterol and low carbing

https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/cholesterol-basics

... and @StuntNun is our resident expert when it comes to cholesterol so she might also have some words of wisdom for you

Thank you!

@Cherryblossomcottage you can always make your own, so you know it won't have any sugar in it - a quick Google threw up this recipe

4 cups water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup lemon juice.
