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

To stop my BF from eating my incredibly hard to find zero net carb bread, I made him a traditional loaf of onion chive white wheat. I hope this works ?

You're nicer than I am, I would have just hid the Zero Carb bread, or set up a booby trap ?

I've tried ?

Weekend meals

Mousaka (Greek Eggplant Casserole)

Red Beans and Rice with Green Beans & Collard Greens

@Pandemonium Red Beans without the rice isn't a bad bariatric choice

I made granola because I finally found a super simple recipe and I actually had all of the ingredients

I didn't add enough chives ?

And has anyone ever cooked with chive blossoms? I was nervous so I just let them dry out

It could be further healthified by using Fairife low or non fat milk and ground turkey (or ground meat veg substitute in your case @GreenTealael)

It was surprisingly good. I wasn't looking forward to a carbless casserole (blasphemy ?), but actually had seconds for my "second dinner". (I know it's not carbless, but no added carbs, like rice or noodles)

Same here! And dumplings ? but this was the bf’s craving this time. When I’m craving something I’ll usually try to find a healthier way to make whatever it is I want or have a bite or two.

A while back I was craving dumplings/gyozas like crazy so I found this recipe:

Gyoza with soy paper! Maybe you can use the soy paper concept and make the filling more wonton like?

Ooh soy paper is a good idea. I've never had it before- is it kind of like tofu skin?

I've made this recipe in the past for wontons, and they come to about 30 calories each... most of which is in the wrapper. I'll have to check out the soy paper!

Making Asian/Asian inspired meals this week. Keeping it going with pork chive and cabbage dumplings. I ate 3 of the steamed and was pretty full. Didn’t touch the fried.

Thanks for this great recipe! I bought several cans of salmon but wasn't sure how to dress it up. This will be a great lunch today!

I tried tuna with mayo and boil eggs puree. Added himalayan salt. Tummy handled it. Will try adding other spices in near future and see how my tummy will handle it. My tummy handled kale, spinach, frozen berries, banana, protein liquid. I drank this shake as one of my meal shake replacements. I will thicken it for each step ahead as well.

Never had tofu skin before but it doesn’t really have much of a taste. I really like it and it does the trick!

This is the one I purchased:
