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 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!

OMG - GIMME!!!!

FYI - I jumped on the chia seed pudding bandwagon. I made it with optimum nutrition choc extreme protein powder and unsweetened coconut milk. It's legit way better than I expected, and SUPER easy.

Nothing boring about that! Looks delicious! I could go for a grilled chicken wrap right now ?

Went a little muffin crazy yesterday. Made pumpkin and banana with no sugar and no flour... well not sure if you count throwing rolled oats in a blender and making it flour like? Oat flour? Is that a thing? Oh and here’s my pumpkin chia pudding from this morning. Tastes just like pumpkin pie.

WONDERFUL! Looks Wonderful! And yes I used to blend oats to make a flour when making baked goods after VSG. I may start again.

I'm curious what products you'll use as a substitute. I always think it's a bit complicated (and most likely doesn't taste the same) when having to use substitutes.

That pasta looks so good! Is that cashews on top? Nice idea ?

Looking forward to it! I tried wrapping chicken in lettuce and it looks like a mess compared to yours lol

I used two Pinterest recipes and I was hesitant to make them too but they came out fluffy! The banana was more fluffier and bread like than the pumpkin though. @GreenTealael is a true baker so she might have some good suggestions.

It's a mix of cashew nuts and nutritional yeast. It's the stuff in the little glass on the left site of the picture. Expensive as f*ck, but every time I tried to do a mix of it myself it simply didn't taste the same. ?
