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

Someone sent me a DM asking why I called 240 calories of wings a splurge. This is a fair question so I thought I’d clear it up.

I maintain my weight on around 1300 calories a day so I tend to be creative and picky about what I choose to eat. 240 calories is not a lot, but it is a lot for 22 grams protein along with16 grams of fat. That is a splurge for me.

I hope that helps clarify why I used that term.

btw, they were so good I ended up having 5 lol

Anyone tried cooking strawberries in the oven for three hours on 210. I saw it on Pinterest. Guess cooking them brings out the natural sugars and they can taste like candy. I’ve got a sweet tooth so this will be better for me than the alternative! Just put them in. We shall see!! I love Pinterest!!❤️?❤️?

Since the cafeteria is more or less closed: my brand new yum box with food for tomorrow:

Someone earlier talked about baking strawberries at 125 Degrees for an extended amount of time. I didn't catch for how long? Does anyone here know?

It was me??‍♀️
It was cool on 210 for 3 hours. Mine didn’t come out very well. I think it was bc my strawberry pieces were are diff sizes. Think when you cut them up try and cut up to match sizes. Let me know how yours turn out!! I got it off of Pinterest.

Oh man its so simple (don't tell anyone ?):

Just boil the dried hibiscus flowers with (or without) a small piece of the peeled & cut ginger until its a very very deep crimson color (30mins -rapid boil for 10 / simmer for 20)

Let it cool, strain it, sweeten it (I used stevia or splenda) and chill.

Done and done.

Enjoy ❤

I like the lunchbox (and food ?) what brand is it?

Made shrimp tacos. Will be eating this all week minus the tortillas. This was the first time since surgery that I ate one whole tortilla and omg I’m ridiculously full!

Thinking of using romaine lettuce instead but I’m not sure if it’s going to taste weird because of the cabbage.... which will make it all crunchy ?

besides lettuce, does anyone have a good tortilla replacement?
