Food Before and After Photos



Recommended Posts

Been working at coffee shops last couple of days and am finding some real gems for lunch! It's nice to mix it up sometimes instead of just eating my same old routine foods. That being said, I get so nervous when I eat new foods now because I'm not sure what hidden sugar is in there or how it's going to agree with me. I used to be so adventurous! [emoji24] But look where that got me...
This is an amazing kale salad with marinated chickpeas, pistachios, avocado and a yogurt-harissa dressing. It was fantastic!!! Did not take an after photo - I was elbow to elbow in a hipster coffee joint and it was making me self-conscious.
But I ate the majority of the chickpeas, all the avocado and some of the kale. No bread.< br>20190213_121905.thumb.jpg.25e67618e9509667bd89197d53ff42f6.jpg
Ooooh I world totally order that. I wonder what the chickpeas were marinated in.

Doesn't happen often but I *think* I'm giving something up on permanently post surgery... Can you guess what?

Semi gluten free flat breads!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Coconut , Almond and Wheat flours (1:1:1ratio) , xanthum gum, baking powder, stevia, olive oil, water... Pan fired/toasted/fried depending on amount of oil/type of pan used.

I had to use some traditional flour because I need to perfect the measurements/consistency and to roll them

Very happy with results. I could easily see replacing the wheat with unflavored Protein and it working! Testing soon...

Thanks @ummyasmin for the inspiration. I love substitutions!!!

Southern Fried Tofu

Super firm organic tofu, cornstarch, spices, Bragg's liquid aminos, oil.

I had to quickly cook 3 bars before they went bad. These should freeze well.

Two styles:

super crispy and regular.

They taste like fried chicken (but I'm biased I was a vegan before) spices are key here

I think the xanthan gum really helps with consistency!

Thank you! I'm going to try again soon and completely from almond & coconut flour for my sister. She is on a medical administered diet and wants dessert really really badly

I used to make a lot of gluten free single (or near) serving low carb breads and "protein mug/cake". Here's the recipe index. You might like them. They were pretty awesome tasting. Not necessarily the best for weight loss for me personally, but I maintained like a champ with 'em!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
