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

I just want to say that I love all these options you have in the U.S. Here in Australia I haven't managed to find all these great no carb options! You've all inspired me to extend the search!

If you can find the Aldi zero carb bread, I highly recommend it

I actually bought it this weekend and had it today for the first time with avocado and it was delicious!

Grilled chicken breast with Ina Garten’s summer corn salad. It looks dry, but it wasn’t! I did use half the oil and added some peppers.

No leftovers.

Looks delicious!!

So good that I *almost* can't believe it's Zero Carb

Modified sugar free crust less fiber infused cheesecake

Rookie mistake thinking I could hand wisk this to a smooth texture...WRONG, taste delicious but not pretty

garnished with sugar free whip cream & macerated strawberries

nightmare world ahead: Does everyone know about the larvae in strawberries and the proper way to prep them? I just did it and it's true ?

Cinnamon , vanilla and chocolate cake. banana muffins and burger Buns.

Burger buns? I've only seen the sweet stuff on their website. This stuff looks indeed good. But yes, you're absolutely right: pretty expensive.

I think you Aussies (and I have no doubt we Germans as well) will catch up in time. When I think about the desert that was vegan food or gluten free food only several years ago, we have caught up quite well (or so I think, at least I noticed that the aisle with the gluten free products has grown a quite a bit). When it comes to low-carb I don't really pay attention, but my husband does. There are quite a few protein-breads available (that shouldn't be allowed to be labeled as "bread" though IMO) and I've seen low-carb muesli, protein bars, chips and the like.

I miss a good dairy-free cheese substitute though one can put on grilled sandwiches, casseroles and pizza. The substitutes I tried so far are all more or less ?.

There are a ton of coupon codes out and they do have a special on their imperfect buns. 24 for $18. It’s still expensive but not as bad. I’m hoping they’re worth it. Only one store carries that brand near me and they are always sold out.

Sooo....question. I saw a lady on another group have a 80 grams Protein Breakfast. All I could think is how the f*** you do that, I struggle to get 15 in one meal. Any suggestions? ?

Ask her what her meal plans are because now I'm curious ?

Don’t really want to call this ceviche but I guess a tuna and shrimp salad? Used lemon instead of limes. Oh and the egg doesn’t make sense but I just felt like having one lol

Can't your body only absorb like 30 grams at a time or something? That's just silly.

Green beans with tempeh and sweet & hot soy sauce. The leftover Klöße weren't the best match for that but it was ok. ?

Running wild on the fusion kitchen (yes, I am using up the stuff in my pantry and fridge before vacation, lol): broccoli with udon noodles, yellow onion, fake grilled chicken and vegan "Pizzaschmelz" on top, greek spice mix.

Really complicated answer but in short, it depends.

I used to keep a digital folder of scholarly journals on this but lost them

Here's a few, dive in!
