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

4oz Shirataki noodles + 2 fl oz home-made low sugar meat sauce + salad, of course (greens + carrots + cucumber + apple)

Can you or anyone tell me what the Shirataki noodles are like? I bought some from BP store, but I've been too scared to try them! I worry that they will be slimy ?

They are definitely slimy, LOL. You need to rinse them really well (Warning: they smell fishy straight out of the package). FluffyChix long ago gave a tip to fry em up in a dry hot pan to remove alot of the moisture. It really helps, and gets rid of more of the smell.

They are more like soup noodles than regular pasta noodles and have no actual taste by themselves...they pick up the flavour of what you add to them.

...and they are SUPER filling (well, for me at least).

Thank you for letting me know! I am going to give them a miss haha. I cannot stand the smell of fish and I hate slimy things. Definite pass!

@FluffyChix I am currently enjoying a new hot beverage myself!!! I cracked open a SF Salted Caramel Syrup Mr. bought me, and OMG its effing delicious.

1/2 of leftover black coffee (about 10oz) + Green Tea Bag w/ 10oz more Water + 1/8 cup unsweetened almond milk + 1 tsp SF Salted Caramel Syrup (though I will probably make it next time with 1/2 teaspoon to make it less sweet...)

7 cals - 0.1g Protein - 0.0g NET carbs - 0.4g fat

Yum this sounds sooo good! Too bad we don't have Tim Hortons here ? I get one every time I'm in Canada.

Hi everyone! How was your weekend?

As far as eating goes mines wasn't too good. I didnt meet my protein goal on either day and I barely ate. Below are pics from Saturdays dinner. Went over my bf's moms house and she made baked chicken with veggies. I was super happy because It was finally something I could eat at her house but I threw it all up shortly after. I dont know what triggered it. Maybe it was the brussel sprouts since that was my first time trying them?

First, a PSA:

I do NOT recommend this dressing. ? It does not taste like blue cheese AT ALL #pass #realStuffWaaaaayBetter

I wish i could hire you guys to cook for me!! This stuff all looks so amazing.

Second,

Today's first meal of the day: salad + tomato & onion tuna + 1 tbsp mayo (since the SF blue cheese dressing was a big FAIL)

223 cals - 17g protein - 8g NET carbs - 14g fat

Plan on eating it all...

Today’s lunch is salad ? with homemade avocado dressing. I didn’t eat as much as I normally would because of the coffee I had this morning. Coffee always seems to suppress my hunger.
