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

@WishMeSmaller: happy belated birthday ?!!

Went to a brunch buffet earlier (i was out-voted, i really don’t like buffets ?). The selection was way too carb-y for me so I stuck to fruit carbs.

Ate everything on the plate, and about 1/3 of the fruit bowl. Drank the entire Mimosa (plus a vodka caesar later), and a couple sips each of the other juices.

I would’ve eaten my weight in bacon but it looked too oily for me

Meh - the mimosa was good at least (though you can’t really eff those up).

I want this sooo much. I crave old timey food when fall approaches.

I actually made this for a meal with my 96 year old grandmother ?

I gravitate to cooking comfort food all year round. Sauce + starch is my happy place.

Has anyone ever tried Bowmar protein? I just got them today n the back said add water but I saw on a YouTube video she added almond milk. I don’t have it so I will try water tomorrow morning but I was curious what people liked better.

most of those you could mix it with either. With these flavors, it'd probably taste better with almond milk (or some other milk), but I'm sure you could mix it with water.

Lol, I always tell my Dad (80-something) that my favorite food is old man food.

That looks ok.... In hindsight though it’s usually worth it. Hash browns are my kryptonite, I avoid them!

I mix my proteins with 2/3 soy milk and 1/3 water. Both good taste and consistency but in the end you have to try what suits your tastebuds best.

Lazy meal. Tomato soup and vegan "Pizzaschnecke" from the organic grocery store.

Score! ♥️

Also ?

The left one looks like someone loving it to lecture other people about their food choices and the right one looks like she's going to punch the schoolmaster straight into the face the very next second. ?

Guys, don't be the obnoxious one! It could be dangerous!

I agree! Definitely a reflection of the new me vs old me. It’s still so crazy to me how much my mentality has changed in regards to food. The change of mindset was more of a prize than the weight loss.

Some breakfast and snack pics from today and yesterday:

Pic 1: Avocado toast with the aldi zero carb bread and a tuna packet. Usually my go to when I can’t cook

Pic 2: New snack to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings. Sliced banana with pb and chocolate almond granola.
