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

Busy Sunday so I bought lunch in between errands. Shredded chicken tostada. I remembered to take a pic in the middle of a couple bites so excuse my before pic lol

Quick dinner tonight: basic salad (forgot to buy spring mix ), sautéed asparagus, and fresh cod. Posted my bfs plate for comparison. Every time I serve him Im reminded of how much I use to eat. It would be his portion size plus a second piece of fish and more rice. Sometimes I catch myself serving more than what I can eat but then I remind myself I won't even be able to eat that much so I put it back.

Found it!!!

Ok, just in case you are saying to yourself: "Self? I feel like I need more chemicals in my life." I give you strawberry banana protein fluff.

I actually had it mixed with peanut butter Greek yogurt and it was obscenely satisfying. I don't even care that my tongue is kinda numb. hehe. Or that I'm glowing--just a little.

This was the yogurt concoction. I had already eaten half of it. Sorry for the gooberish pick. SUPER filling! Super filling!

You can use any flavor of jello or protein powder. This was 100% whey isolate although all the recipes call for casein. But it still worked. I'm freezing the clouds to see what that texture will be like. I'm thinking I will use some cheesecake sf jello pudding mix to try it. The real recipe calls for strawberries frozen which sounds yum, but it's also 22g of carbs! Yikes! So I did this instead.

Full Recipe of Strawberry Banana Protein Fluff (5 servings-about 1 1/4 cups = 230g of fluff)

Single Servings of the Fluff (about 45g)

Single Serving of PB Greek Yogurt Mixed with a Serving of Strawberry Banana Fluff (dunno how much it weighed)

Lunch: Chicken in tomatillo sauce tostada.

Curious - why does everyone seem to make bigger/normal portions only to eat 1/3 or less? I can't imagine than an omelette reheats all that well?

Hahaha..... I am guilty of this. My own personal excuse is that I actually believe I can eat what I had prepared for myself, at the time of making it. I often feel like I am much hungrier than I actually am (which is part of why I eat slowly, so that I don't accidentally cross the too-full line before I its too late).

P.S. though there are definitely times I can polish off one of my ginormous salads.

P.P.S I have also long ago gotten used to eating cold or room-temp food.
