If you consider eating Indian food normal that is

So if you're worrying you won't be able to eat or enjoy your food or be normal? Here's what I made for lunch today. Brown rice for the kids, ground beef curry, cucumber/tomato/Greek yogurt salad, palak paneer (spinach. with a homemade cheese). Apart from the rice, all good for us sleevers to eat.

I sometimes see people thinking they won't enjoy food, or that they can only have baked chicken and steamed vegetables. SO not true. I make Indian, Thai, Ethiopian, Greek etc all the time.

What is true however, is that my two kids (23 and 13) and my husband and I all ate--and we finished about a fourth of the food you see here

Feel free to post pics of what you're enjoying today that is sleeve friendly.

New Years Eve dinner with the family! Ordered off the steak sides menu (Seafood Oscar) and my mom gave me a bit of her prime rib. Mmmm but filling! Ate one asparagus spear, two scallops and about 35g of prime rib. Feel bad for not touching my shrimp! Oh well, lots of left overs.

This is a much healthier pizza option. Low carb/high fiber tortilla, 1/4 cup pizza sauce, 1/4 cup cheese, turkey pepperoni. I'm loving it!!

I love this thread. Once my food isn't puréed, I will definitely contribute! The pizza looks great.

Indian style ground beef (kheema mutter) with zucchini noodles tonight. We also had cabbage stir fried with fennel and sesame seeds.

Our dinner tonight. Pizza toppings minus crust. Surprisingly filling but not as low dal as some other options. I don't care. Enjoyed it thoroughly and logged it in MFP as best I could.

lol I made your pizza tonight too!! But lordy that pizza looks yummy crust and all!!

I should have just made my own pizza. Even without the crust it was too many dang calories. Not worth it on a regular basis. Too much cheese basically and not enough meat.

dinner my attempt at GG's Orange chicken.....I don't think I let it thicken enough. Mine happen to be really sweet and Orangie, Is that right?....missing maybe broccoli?

Maybe you can answer a question for me about beef and Indian food gamergirl! I would expect that if I went to India, (which I very much hope to do), that I would not see beef anywhere on the menu. That's pretty typical with most Indian restaurants I go to here in the Seattle area as well, but our favorite place serves beef too and that always puzzled me. Is beef just an adaptation some Indians living here have made to their diet if it is not a religious restriction for them, or do you think I would see beef curry etc in certain areas of India as well?

It's very regional. Assamese and Bengali people eat beef. Probably other regions too. Also lots of more secular people from all over eat it. A few years ago you almost never saw pork on the menu, but it is now easy to find as well.

Hi, Indians are majority Hindus by religion. Strict followers are vegetarians, and beef would be definite no no.

Feeling like I need a re boot.. So this is my breakfast: half an avocado, half a carrot, 1 tbsp walnuts, 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds and a few mixed leaves..

Got creative with the photos for lunch and dinner too..
