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

Rest of the portion made a pita stuffing for tomorrow's lunch. Also a mixed salad with chick peas and a caesar dressing (cashew based with spice mix). Will also take some fruit with me. No idea how long tomorrow's working day will be.

Duck Breast Bao (I was too lazy to try to Peking it tonight...next time, I guess)

I ate 100g of just the Duck Breast with 2 tbsp of the sesame-ginger-garlic sauce: 282 calories.

Fake ground beef over rucola, shiitake, garden cress and some cucumber with cashew cream, eaten with a pita.

What brand of fake ground beef do you use ? I bought the morning star triller bits but it has a very harsh nasty taste and you can’t even hide it I tried sloppy joes (before surgery) and i wasn’t able to eat because of the taste.

I use "Mühlenhack" - that's basically the only fake ground beef that's good tasting to me. It looks like already bakes ground beef, e. g. brownish and crumbly.

The Garden Gourmet one has a realistic look (like raw ground beef) but it has "that typical taste" so to say and I didn't like it that much.

I've seen a new brand lately that also sells fake ground beef and burgers, also looking like the raw version but haven't tried it so far. Maybe I'm going to get it and add it to some kind of casserole as a layer but for testing purposes I might simply make it into patties and fry it in the pan. I don't want to ruin a whole casserole with a taste I don't like.

Absolute perfection! ????

Also didn’t feel like cooking this past weekend so ordered from the same Korean place two days in a row because it was that good. Pics include Korean meatballs, steamed tofu and pork, and beef bulgogi wraps.

How was the tofu? Seasoned or no?

This is one of our go-to tofu snacks, just plain steamed tofu with soy-sesame-oyster sauce-garlic-black vinegar-sweetener and garnish (black & white sesame seeds & green onion)

Have also done Kung Pao, Soy-Maple, Black pepper, soy-sirracha, Buffalo...

Oooooo I will try (a modified version of) this.

Does the sauce come ready made or can I skip the oyster part in a home recipe?

You could probably pick up a ready made one somewhere, but its better to make your own to tailor to your taste. And yeah, you can skip the oyster sauce (though it helps to thicken it a bit so it clings better to the tofu...maybe sub with a bit of cornstarch or xanthum gum)
