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

Recipe review? I used the products below to make these. IMO, cook time of twelve minutes in my air fryer is too long. They have a slight bitter/burnt flavor. Cooked in batches due to air fryer size. Second batch I watched closely to achieve less burnt flavor. Probably about 11 mins and more in basket as I guess my first half was smaller. See photos.

Notes: Watch closely during cooking to achieve best taste/texture. Does not taste anything like Fritos, but was not really expecting lentil Pasta to taste like corn chip. ?Pretty tasty and easy for a crunchy, salty snack. Very filling! I ate probably 15 pieces during preparation to get cooking and seasoning right. I am very full now ?

@GreenTealael, thank you for sharing the recipe! ?

Great review! This will definitely save someone from cooking heartache ♥️

Yellow curry with mushrooms, broccoli and onions. I mimicked the Vietnamese takeout with these mock chicken stuff cut in strips on top.

Forgot to post:

Vegan *almost* sugar free apple pie (for the BF)

Pie crust is a basic oil crust and granulated stevia was used to cook the apples.

Two tablespoons of maple syrup was added for flavor enhancement so that's why it's almost sugar free

A giant bowl of leaves with some apples and feta #yum #iKnow...BoooorinnnggButStillYum

175 calories (ate about 2/3)

Excuse the crummy photos.
First up is a veggie and cheese frittata I made for the week. Veggies are asparagus, baby portobellos, and leaks. Used about 4 oz pre-shredded Swiss-Gruyere cheese blend from Trader Joe’s. Each square is about 150kcals. Yummy.

Second up is my green protein smoothie. Also about 150 kcals made with A scoop of Genepro in a cup of water, half a frozen banana (I weigh before freezing for tracking), about a cup of raw spinach, 0.5 tablespoons of chia seeds, some stevia, and a few ice cubes. I have one most days. Not exciting tasting, but I am somewhat addicted to them ?‍♀️

Lunch and dinner for today: Salmon and salad and the oatmeal banana pancakes I usually make.

Thank you! And the pancakes are topped with hemp seeds, chia seeds, cacao nibs, almonds, low cal maple syrup, and berries. I microwave frozen mixed berries and mash them. Makes for a great sauce!

Breakfast was a split in half and toasted whole grain naan round topped with cream cheese and sautéed tomatoes, onions, and green pepper. Ate one half for breakfast and the other later as snack.

Including a picture of the naan rounds serving size says 2 for 170 calories but they really remind me of sandwich thins.

Dinner was sautéed kimchi, finely diced baby bellas, tomatoes, banana peppers, and spiced marinated (curry, onion, garlic, turmeric powders, soy sauce, and unseasoned rice vinegar) tofu. Ended up eating it all.

Thank you for checking on me ?

I am safe (Rochester is quite far from me) but prayers of justice for the victim's families ♥️

I got Syracuse and Rochester mixed up in my moment of worry! I’m from the Midwest, it all a blur after NYC.

All the food I had today. No leftovers. Trying to up my calories since I’m in a stall. I’ve been eating around 600-700 a day and my nut says it’s not enough. With my last stall she recommended I up my cals and add more carbs and to my surprise she was right. The idea of eating more just scares the crap out of me.

Breakfast: Avo toast and an egg on the go. The bf and I had to be somewhere so he was driving while I was getting yolk all over my face.

Lunch: 1 oatmeal banana pancake with microwaved frozen berries and a sprinkle of cacao nibs, chia seeds, and hemp seeds. Also had 1 yellow peach and some cut up fruit.

Dinner: salad with chicken breast (romaine, spring mix, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes)

Snack: I saved the banana in the pancake photo and decided to eat it with a tablespoon of PB2

Drinks: Iced matcha latte w/ almond milk

These are excellent choices. You are doing great!

Rosh Hashanah meal (Yom Teruah)

Whole wheat challah (rustic), kale & mushroom lasagna (BF's), Jacob's stew (pink bean style - mine) mashed potatoes, oven crisped tilapia & spring mix

Not featured failed attempt at peach cobbler ?

Did I hear you say peach cobbler! What a wonderful holiday spread. The challah bread divine.

Made mini meatloafs with ground chuck (more moist) oatmeal, carrots, shallots and garlic for little lettuce sandwiches thru the week. Tricolor Quinoa salad made with fresh mint slivers, white kidney beans, dates, tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic + shallots in light olive oil and wine vinegar. Really makes a nice high protein salad or side. Building up my protein intake for vein ablation this Thursday on left leg. Super foods for healing! Ate entire portion. ;]
