My Lunch: A Pictorial Attempt To Show You Life Will Be Normal

  • Popular Post

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.

Lunch today, some left over chick peas from the kabob place we tried last night(sooo yummy btw) and two of my fav Serrano ham & Manchego Cheese roll ups! I almost finished! I find these little tiny bowls keep me on the right path, they are 1/2c, so I try to fill it half way with a "side" like almonds, berries, veggies or salad then try not to eat it all ;) Usually I can't because I eat my protein in most of it's entirety first! And yes that's a Gerber baby spoon I stole from my kids, regular make my bowls tip over lololol! I'm really enjoying making my tiny lunches interesting!

I love the little bowls. I use them all the time. It really helps me not over serve myself (and as a result stuff myself).


I have moved all of my full size bowls and plates to the way back of my cupboards. I had friends over last weekend, and served lunch on my salad plates. Haha - it's good for everyone I think.

My picture attempt is not worthy of the taste!!! One bowl is one serving! :)

Avocado and Crab salad

I know this was a while ago, but can I have a recipe?

Hey lady sorry. I've not been on here much been busy. I get 99% of my recipes off Skinnytaste.com! She's amazing and you can make your own recipe box of all the ones you like. :) Let me know how you like lt :)

Nearly four months out. Some days I can eat more than others, today seems to be one of those days heh.

That looks abt what I can eat! I also sometimes find the amt I can eat is not consistent even with the same meal. I do know if I wait longer than a half hour to drink I am not hungry for much longer, tho it makes it hard to get my liquids in...so I try to only wait longest after lunch.
