Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc

My first attempt at pizza using a cauliflower crust was a success....I ate half of it and was super full. Will cut back on the toppings next time....used ground beef, canadian bacon, baby bella mushrooms, black olives, homemade pizza sauce and mixed Italian cheeses. Whole thing was 540 Calories, 44 grams protein, 10.4 net carbs and 36 grams fat.

Yes ... not at all similar to Canadian bacon. The difference between guanciale and pork jowl bacon is that guanciale isn't smoked, while the bacon is.

Thank you, I get all my knowledge from the Food Network and did not know the smoking difference!

Why jowl bacon vs. regular? The fat percentage or something else? I've never even heard of pork jowl bacon before!

I love hearing how other people cook! I've never used pepper vinegar, either!

For me, it is more of a substitute for ham hocks, rather than bacon. I've never cooked it and eaten it on it's own. I have only used it to add flavor to dishes.

It has two benefits over bacon & ham hocks. It's sooo cheap. I don't remember the exact price, but well under $2/lb, maybe even like $1.29?? So that's a benefit over bacon. It's also possible to portion out into small portions, and doesn't take up as much room in a pot as a ham hock.

These are the ones I got, they are at Natural Grocers if you have that store there or you can order online. They are kept frozen.

Mix the following...

... and get something greenish, disgusting looking but good tasting food. Guess I'll eat this with banana and kiwi fruit.

Cacao nibs might be a nice addition but I don't have them in the pantry right now.

Last night's dinner: Shrimp Ceviche #yum

Can we drink caffeine tea? Some say yes and others say no.

Before in another life I would have said sure why not? It's just a little tea/coffee But now I'm adamant on following your team's instructions. If it's included/excluded, there's likely a beneficial reason that they personally know of despite debate

?Good Luck?

I'm always curious about these "specific reasons" though.
