Lots of you have said you want to do this - now it's time to put your money where your mouth is, so to speak.

Oh, alright, it's free. Grin

The plan is that we have two very strict weeks of low carbing. Which is why, doh, it's called a bootcamp.

There are 'rules of engagement' for the fortnight - but they're different if you're carnivore or a vegetarian. I shall post the rules for us carnivores, and flipflopflap will post the rules for those of you that are vegetarians.

Sign in with your starting weight - in pounds, stones and pounds, kilos or - if you don't want to reveal your weight, with 100 as an index - and what you're wanting to achieve in the two weeks. I know that not everyone is doing this for the purpose of weight loss, so you don't have to do this if you don't want to - but tell us what you want this fortnight to help you achieve.

The Carnivore Rules

1.Eat three, proper meals a day.
You must eat breakfast. It doesn?t have to be a lot, but you must have something. For the rest of the day, if you?re eating enough food and you are in ketosis then you shouldn?t be hungry. But if you are hungry, eat something. (Hard boiled eggs make a great snack)

2.Avoid processed food
Focus on pure, natural protein as the basis for your meals ? meat/fish/eggs. Things like sausages, ham, bacon, pre-prepared burgers etc should be avoided as much as possible. You can have them, but just not every day. Avoid foods marketed as low carb, e.g. Atkins Daybreak bars.

3.Eat lots of fat.

Eating fat helps you to burn fat. Honestly! Fry in butter, add butter to vegetables, eat salad with a home-made vinaigrette dressing (not made with balsamic vinegar though, as this is too sweet), add mayonnaise where you can (just check the carb count on your mayo first). Eat fattier cuts of meat ? e.g. pork belly, roast chicken with the skin on and/or eat the fat off your lamb chops. Absolutely no low fat/light foods of any kind!

4.Make sure you are eating vegetables and salads with your food ?
This is where your carbs should come from, and this is non-negotiable. But choose only those vegetables that are on the allowed list. You don?t have to weigh/count carbs ? this is one of the great joys of this WOE (way of eating), but if you?re new to low carbing it can be helpful to weigh your portions of veg in the early days, just so that you know how many carbs are in the sort of portions that you like to eat

*5.Be careful about dairy (apart from butter, which is unlimited). It can impede weight loss for some people. If you are still drinking tea/coffee with milk or cream, try to restrict yourself to max 2 cups per day. You may eat cheese, but don't overdo it. Full fat yoghurt is the best way to include dairy in your diet - but beware, it does contain carbs. Total Full Fat is the best.

6.You must drink a minimum of 2 litres of water per day.
The more weight you have to lose, the more water you should drink

7.No alcohol
If you really can't do this - at least try and restrict it to the weekend. Vodka with soda is the best thing to drink. Or Champagne, red wine or dry white wine.

8.No fruit
Really. Seriously. Honestly. None at all. Zilch. Nada.

9.No nuts/seeds
Whilst these are really good to snack on later - it can be too easy to start snacking on these - and before you know it, all your carbs have gone on nuts. Seriously - in bootcamp - don't do it to yourself.

10.No sugar or artificial sweeteners

Any tinned fish is fine - when I say avoid 'processed' foods, I mean foods which have other ingredients that are involved in the processing, as opposed to the process of cooking/presenting itself - e.g. just look at the ingredients in bacon or ham or crab sticks, etc.

If you're eating fish in sauce, e.g. sardines/mackerel in tomato sauce - just be aware that there will be carbs in the sauce.

Morning. Scrambled eggs (2) with one slice of streaky bacon and 3 cherry tomatoes for breakfast. DH said "Are you sure this is too lose weight?" Grin

My aim is to lose half a stone really and to try to cut out the highs and lows caused by the sugar and carbs.

Thanks BIWI! that's useful to know.

teaandthorazine · 16/04/2012 09:05

Morning! Well, after last night's blowout (2 roast potatoes and some trifle) I appear to have put back the 5 pounds I lost last week... Hmmm, hopefully my shit scales have something to do with that but anyway - I'm in!

11 stone

Would like to lose 4 of those 5lbs, and keep them off!

Water, peppermint tea, ham and Philly rolls for breakfast. Going out for lunch so... who knows?

3 pints of water!

runs to bathroom

FaresPlease · 16/04/2012 09:12

My weight this morning is 11 stone on the dot.

I would love to have lost 6lbs by the end of this fortnight.

I need the bootcamp to give me a good kick-start. My ultimate goal is 2stone off, and I plan to do a lot of exercise.

I agree that the Atkins bars can seem a yummy treat, but it's the start of a slippery slope for me - I start sniffing around for other sweet things and before I know it I'm in the biscuit tin!!

Good luck everyone!

Sign me up please! I've been low carbing for 3 weeks now and my weight is going up and down, up and down grrrr by 3lbs! I don't understand it as I am very disciplined.

Anyway, start weight (today) is 9.12. Would like to get back down to 9st but Hoping the boot camp will take me down to 9.7.

TheShapeJaper · 16/04/2012 09:27

P.s, are we allowed MIM's on boot camp?

SeriousWispaHabit · 16/04/2012 09:28

Have lost lots low carbing but slowed down and have definite 'carb creep' over last few weeks. Holiday to Portugal in 3 weeks so I'm in.

Current weight 14st 8 (started at 16st 5 -8 weeks ago so going very well!) and would like to be below 14 st.

I am very into this WOE now but I need 2 weeks hardcore LC again after wine, nuts and Atkins bars have started to make up too much of my diet.

Wow just had yummy breakfast of 2 field mushrooms with a light sprinkling of cubed bacon and grated cheese on top and bunged in the oven for 10 mins.

Butternut squash is roasting as we speak to make soup for my lunch - just using the squash 1 shallot and enough chicken stock to cover - MFP says thats 37g of carbs?? Is it going to be ok? I'm only having a small cup of it ?

MariaCallous · 16/04/2012 09:44

2 boiled eggs mashed up in a cup with butter. Nectar.
