Sugar Free September Boot Camp


COMING SOON!

If you are looking to start your journey to a sugar free you, This one is DEFINITELY for you.

 Let me explain it for you.

 Being sugar free does not only mean cutting out the added sugar in your coffee, tea or food, it also means cutting out the morning cereal, the rice side to your curry and the lasagne sheets for your pasta dishes. 

 So in a nutshell, you can find alternatives for these - like banting breads, banting noodles, banting porridge, cauliflower rice...you can even have a sugar replacement like xylitol, erythritol and stevia. OR you can choose to forego all of these and concentrate on the simpler items. The choice is completely yours.

 What is the Boot Camp all about?

 You need to follow the meal plan, follow our posts on the group (search for the #BootCamp hashtag) and read the information we post. There will be a twist in the meal plans around the 3rd week - so don't forget to stay tuned!




Before looking through the meal plans, find the important Banting info here:

Banting Lists
These will say the lists you can use for the challenge.


Net Carb List
This will tell you how many carbs (which converts to sugar) you can have per day from veggies. This is dependent on you but to be in ketosis we recommend 25g+-

How to Read Labels
If you are going to be buying pre packaged foods, always check the labels. Especially if it has a "Banting Friendly" sticker on it. Sadly some manufacturers don't adhere to the banting principles!

Depending on how carb dense your current meals are - and how low carb you go in your first week - this will depend on the severity of your carb flu. Don't be too alarmed. Read the above post to see the symptoms and how you can help yourself overcome them.


Alcohol. Yeah hey - that's a biggie for some people. Read the post to determine if its worth it for you, and which alcohol we recommend - if you do indulge.
The Rules for the BOOT CAMP are as follows:


1. To get your ratio, you need to download the CARB WISE APP here for Android devices or here for Apple Devices.
2. After you have filled in all your relevant information into your profile and your weight under the weight tab, you then work out your ratio under the portions tab. Once you have your correct ratio - you come BACK here (so don't forget to bookmark the page) to find out which meal plan suits YOU.
3. Stick to the meal plan as much as possible.
4. Only weigh yourself before and after the challenge.
5. Try to keep it green list. If you add in some orange list items, make sure its within your ratios. Red list is a complete no no.
6. Remember that the ratio is the maximum amount you can have, per day, for weight loss. See it as a "cap" or a "highest amount you can have" rather than a target that must be reached every day. If you still have a fat or protein left, its fine. We just suggest that those doing the 5 Fats, 3 Protein and 1 carb -  stick to their ratios as much as possible as we don't want anyone under eating, as by undereating - you can actually stall your weight loss too!
7. If your ratio is greater than those pictured above, you could either adapt those from above or double up on the smaller ones making minor adjustments.
8. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to post them on Banting 7 Day Meal Plans

The best way to do this would be... to utilize the one way to make Banting work to best of its ability, and to the best of YOUR ability!

That would be using Ratios. Ratios can be got from the Carb Wise App (Download links below)

Now, how it works, is it takes your weight, height, gender, age and level of physical activity into account when it works out specific Banting Ratios related to all your personal stats.

It gives you the exact amount of protein, fat and carbs - in grams as well as portions) you should/can eat to optimize weight loss - but do so without the use of supplements, any expensive teas or crazy crash dieting. You eat delicious foods, real foods that provide nutrients that are important for you.

This allows you to LOSE the MOST weight in the shortest amount of time - while still banting properly and putting your health first!

Below, we have carefully worked out meal plans for ratios provided.
They include ALL the meals, every item has been added to the Carb Wise App for exact portions. You can use one of the below meal plans if you want - or you can work out your own based on your ratio.
