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

This is lots of meals. I did food prep today. The veggies are just roasted broccolini, brussel sprouts, and some chestnut mushrooms. I coated them in olive oil, garlic, and salt. The meats are dry scallops, pan seared, prawns pan fried with cayenne, garlic, and chili powder, the salmon I cooked with my Sous vide and then VERY quickly pan seared it. The brown meat is duck. I made it a bit ago with my Sous vide, I just pan seared it and pulled it apart. OMG it is delectable. It and the salmon are very very tender and moist. The sauces I will put on whenever I feel like I want a smidge more flavor.

I’m freezing them flat and then putting them in ziplocks in the freezer so that I can grab a bit at a time for my lunches/dinners. I also have some frozen cauliflower risotto, etc. to mix things up. This should last me a couple of weeks.

Air fryers are AWESOME! We use ours constantly. I might have a weakness for gadgets, especially kitchen ones!

So worth it. Do it. We use ours more than anything else except the grill.

Falafel would be perfect for the airfryer!

Haven’t posted anything in a while because my food has been underwhelming. But today I ordered lunch from Panera- their new Summer Strawberry Caprese salad. It’s really good. This is easily made at home I am sure but I just needed something quick. Half of a salad and this is after for now. I want to finish this today somehow but after about 6 bites I am stuffed

OMG, why have I never thought of making falafels in my airfryer? That sounds GREAT!

I guess i have to commit now...

Halal salad (grilled chicken & lamb)

before and after

Some fantastic sirloin from the grill. Fed the last bite to my husband so I could eat a couple Brussels sprouts. Impressed myself with my ability to eyeball 2 ounces.

Yum! Grilling season is the best season.

Yea it is-my other recent obsession has been chicken kabobs with pepper/onion/tomato and big fat delicious shrooms. And a little coating of McCormick’s bourbon brown sugar or maple seasoning. Heavenly.
