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

BIWI · 16/04/2012 13:35

I'm Confused by changing carb counts - but if different values are given for raw vs cooked, start with weighing your raw veg and stick with the carb count for that!

Broccoli cannot be bad for you .... Grin

OP posts:
ShirtyKnot · 16/04/2012 13:35

(I'm not going to bore you about my water intake. I drink about 4 litres per day and have done for years, so the sloshing about thing feels normal to me!)

KeepOrfThemCarbs · 16/04/2012 13:36

I gave up as well shirley.

All the counts on MFP seemed different as well, a lot of the entries on there are simply wrong.

I just stick to what I know doesn't bloat me - spinach, kale, lettuce, little gems, mushrooms, caulif and brocolli.

KeepOrfThemCarbs · 16/04/2012 13:37

And to be honest, I don't believe you can overeat spinach or brocolli.

It is hardly as if you are going to binge on green veg in manner of bingeing on whole bag of doughnuts or crisps.

noddyholder · 16/04/2012 13:37

I have had 2 boiled eggs for lunch and loads of water! Am craving another coffee though but think I will just keep on with teh water. Am going to have chicken and garlic oil with roasted tomato for dinner and a big dollop of hellmans

mummyduff · 16/04/2012 13:39

I'm in I have lost 1 stone since Christmas and my current weight is 10st 1lb.

My goal weight is 9st.

BIWI · 16/04/2012 13:40

.... which was kind of the point about having an allowed veg list really - so that people didn't have to count!

Just finishing the last glass of water from my 2 litre bottle, which puts me on course for polishing off around 4 litres today.

I had two boiled eggs for breakfast, and have just had a tin of tuna mixed with a tiny amount of chopped shallot and half a red chilli, with salad and vinaigrette. Dinner tonight will be savoy cabbage leaves stuffed with stir-fried pork, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, asparagus and baby sweetcorn.

OP posts:
ShirtyKnot · 16/04/2012 13:41

I'm sticking to the dark green stuff - it's more nutrionally dense anyway. I do keep thinking "I should be eating a rainbow" but a fortnight won't kill and then I can re-introduce slowly isn't it?

FourThousandHoles · 16/04/2012 14:01

I shall bow to your greater knowledge oh great ones Grin

Broccoli with a shitload of cheese on top for tea it is then

The nutritional composition of food does change as it's cooked, I know this as I work in food labelling, but they type of carb will change rather than carbs appearing from nowhere.

I may just stick to annoying you lot with questions instead of relying on t'internet (oh the irony)

MariaCallous · 16/04/2012 14:05

Is the issue with tea/coffee the milk? If I drink it black am I OK?

smokinaces · 16/04/2012 14:07

Snack of two celery sticks with cream cheese and black pepper. Yum.

Stuffed mushrooms and baked stuffed peppers, both things I had forgotten about and going to try this week

SharonGless · 16/04/2012 14:09

Thanks for tip this morning I had bacon and eggs for breakfast tuna and salad for lunch plus 3 litres of water!
Leftover roast beef for tea with veg. I have broccoli and cabbage in. What would be a nice sauce to go with it low carb?

2 problems here:

  1. can't find Biwi moussaka recipe anywhere - Biwi can you post or send?
  2. yesterday I ate a whole bag (100g) of thorntons diabetic toffee, plus took senna at bed time. You would expect an explosion in my guts today...but nope, nothing- totally normal....arrrrghhhh - any tips? 2 litres water and 2 tea in today.

A quick question for you low carb gurus- is it OK to use garlic in cooking? It is not on BIWI's list of allowed veg and I am scared I may get sent to the naughty step if I fail this early on!

BettyBathroom · 16/04/2012 14:53

Think the veggie rules are tricky - the only safe protein is eggs - cheese, nuts and soy products all have to be limited, I fear I may struggle with this and I don't want failing at boot camp to derail my diet completely - so I'm going to head back to the bench for a gentler version of bootcamp Blushand cheer you all on from the sidelines while admiring all your lovely new figures.
