Week 4 - Pre-Christmas '26 Low Carb Bootcamp

[BIWI]

Morning all. Hope we're all safe and not blown or washed away by this horrible weather!

Spreadsheet as per.

I hope that you all got through week 3 reasonably well. Brace yourselves, though, for the fact that week 4 can be challenging too (soz)

Shopping day today and I'm looking for something different to cook this evening.

What are your plans for the week?

I’ve lost what I gained after my bad weekend, which is good.

I’ve just been given some kefir grains, not really sure what I’m doing with it yet, but interested to read @SprinkleofRain‘s post about adding salt and spices. If anyone has any good resources to point me towards, I’d be grateful.

Put another lb on today. Depressing.

I haven't dared weigh myself yet this week but I don't really feel like I've lost anything. Found another nice meal last night - lettuce wraps with char siu pork - marinaded pork in this and slow cooked.
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp Chinese five-spice
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp sesame oil

...obviously without the sugar...

Anyone else having problems accessing the spreadsheet? I keep being told that access is denied for some reason. Hopefully @FinallyHere will let me back in!

Back from 3 days in Liverpool. What an amazing place that is!

I'm KOKO, down another pound from last week's low point, so that's 7ib off in total. Feels fairly slow and steady, which is fine

I couldn’t get on the spreadsheet , I thought it was because I hadnt updated weight for a couple of Mondays due to being away

I'll message @FinallyHere and see if I can get it turned back on again!

Week 5 chat thread is here - sadly still without the spreadsheet

Morning all - another 1 lb down so a slowdown but still moving in the right direction. Started the day with my usual FFGY and I think it will be an omelette or scrambled eggs for lunch! Have a good week everyone!

Move over to the week 5 chat thread @Lovelysnuggyjumper! Link is above your post.
