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

dinner tonight! Onto week 6 no groceries

Whaaattt? Did I miss something?

So much yummy food I missed. I hate that work interferes with lusting over everyone's food porn!

Some random before and afters over the last couple of weeks that I didn't get around to posting

Another PSA: Dream Bagel KETO Everything Bagels (1 NET carb per bagel) are a solid thumbs down.

Came back from a bakery where I bought 6 Montreal style bagels straight off the conveyor belt along with a tub of gourmet garlic & herb cream cheese for the fam. They smelled so good while they were eating it, that I finally busted out the Keto bagels in the freezer that Mr. bought for me a while back.

I was all excited cuz these Keto bagels smelled really good too out of the toaster oven...slathered some of cream cheese, took one bite and...

Keto Bagel Fail.

These were not enjoyable at all. The density & texture was all wrong and other than the "everything" flavouring sprinkled on top it was very bland.

I ended up scraping the cream cheese off and just eating that, which btw was DELICIOUS (though for $8.50 for about 1 cup, it better be!!!)

Edited to add: so not to waste the Keto bagels, I'm going to toast em up, make breadcrumbs out of them and use them for breading or burger filler...Le Sigh. This is what happens when I stray from salads....lol

Thought I would try some chocolate mint protein pots de creme. Didn't have any mint extract so I used sugar free caramel pecan syrup. I cooked them too long as they still seemed to liquidy after cooking for 20 minutes. Tasted good but really sent my stomach churning. Might be because they were more brownie like than custard.

And they look good too! I wouldn’t think they would taste horrible. I miss bagels ...

When to a Chinese buffet with my family today. I ate the dumpling filling only and took a couple of bites of the rest from plate one. As for plate two and three. I I just had the salad and the oranges. Thankfully my brother and sister ate the rest of my food so there was no wasting. I need to stop serving food with my eyes.

After a few minutes I ended up going to the bathroom and throwing up everything ?

Whaaattt? Did I miss something?

I had/have so much stuff in my freezer I challenged myself to a no buy January, with the exception of fresh fruits/veggies and eggs. So far it's been 6 weeks, still going strong!

Boyfriend's homemade nachos

I just had the beans and chips ?

I do this all the time too. Every time we go out to eat, I'm all "Oooooh that sounds/looks good, I want this and that and some of this". Never fails. So there's always extra for my meal companions, and/or leftovers for multiple meals.

LOL, I made some nachos yesterday too! Although I guess lots of people probably had nachos yesterday too..

(I only ate/picked at some of the toppings though...)

I'm so.proud. of how empty my freezer and pantry are, I knew you'd be proud of me [emoji23]

Dinner last night and lunch today. Causa rellena with three different cream's. The yellow is huncaina which is made from a yellow pepper, the red is Rocoto (another pepper) and the green is called ocopa which is made from Peruvian black mint. The actual causa is basically layered yellow potatoes that have been mashed with more yellow peppers and lime. I layered it with tuna and avocado. Felt like getting a little fancy with the plating lol

I was only able to eat half of the red one plus a few shrimps. Super filling!
