Week 8 - Pre-Christmas '24 Low Carb Bootcamp - the final week

[BIWI]

So we come to our final week.

Here's the spreadsheet

Still time to drop a couple more pounds - which would also see two Bootcampers reaching the whole stone! @Comeonyoublues and @costevo we're all rooting for you

Starting this chat thread early as I'm away tonight and don't know when I'll be online tomorrow, but I'll check in when I'm able.

Good luck everyone

@prettybird inthe very first thread back in March you gave me your recipe for thyme infused frothing butter, but can you remind me again please 🙏

No problem - it's dead easy.

I use the extra thick grass fed fillet steaks from Lidl (it's a once a month treat when I have the 10% off voucher)

Salt both sides of the steaks with a good sprinkling of Maldon sea salt a few hours in advance and put somewhere the cats can't get them

Heat a heavy bottomed sauce pan, very hot, with a little bit of coconut oil and then a lot of butter, so that it froths. Throw in the aromatics - a generous number of thyme sprigs or rosemary. (Warning: it might spatter when you do this, especially if the thyme is fresh)

Put in the steaks and either turn regularly or baste regularly. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Take out and leave in some foil for 7-8 minutes (all steaks take 10 minutes between cooking and resting).

Heat plates before serving. Put any juices that have come out while resting over the steaks.

Enjoy

I've done it with three steaks in a larger pan, but I think to do four, I'd do it in 2 separate pans.

I’m salivating at the description and steaks + thyme now definitely on the shopping list. Thank you 🙏

New chat from @BIWI for the final weigh in and ongoing chat! See you there ...

Ditto on not being bothered by most carbs but missing fruit and pulses.
