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

Breakfast was cottage cheese with tomatoes, banana peppers, and kimchi

lunch was lightlife Italian sausage. They were good but a little spicier than I thought they’d be. Ended up eating another couple slices later on.

snack was supposed to be a take on kimbap but I think I’ll try again with something other than yogurt because it made it weird for me. My kids ended up eating all but one of the pieces.

(Dipping sauce was a mixture of garlic chili sauce, soy sauce, a smidge of honey, sesame oil and oyster sauce.)

dinner was microwave Protein cheesecake with berries mixed in. I’m saving the other half for breakfast as it’s 2 servings for the recipe.

Sauce looks yummy!

I think the premise is, that if you cook let's say potatoes or rice and then refrigerate it for an extended period of time(24 hours), then heat it up and eat it, the starch becomes more resistant to digestion. They are saying, that this is very good for your biome(guts?) and should not spike your insulin as much as fresh cooked and consumed.

I don't know if I buy into it yet, but thought it was very interesting. I personally don't want to open that can of worms again.....like ever! ? But I think it would be cool , if it were true, for the rare cheat.

Potato salad here I come lol ?

Love this salad! What does Cotija cheese taste like? I've seen it a few times on this thread and finally found it in a local grocery store, but did not have the courage to buy it.

It looks really good. I like feta but hate cottage cheese(texture), is it close to any of them?

I find personally, Cotija cheese has a mild flavor and light airy texture. It is sprinkled here on my Mexican Street Corn - Salads, beans and other dishes where you do not wish for a pungent, overwhelming or heavy cheese. Definitely try it! I don't think you'll be disappointed. ms.sss may also have suggestions on how she uses it. And, I do believe Greentea can chime in on this, as well. ;] I also like it on poached pears - a nice contrast in flavors.

Was totally inspired by all the previous delicious pizza posts! Firehook brand crackers are my simple go to... And, tolerated well with their extra baked and crispy dynamic. Ate two strips + ¼ salad for dinner. These like the bagel ones with Swiss cheese and honey crisp apple slices are to DIE for!

I actually only had it on authentic Mexican in Texas. It blended in so well I don't know what the flavor/texture is like alone.

Maybe cool, creamy & slightly less nutty/pungent than goat cheese?

I’d describe it as texture and saltiness of feta, but tastes like a mild Parmesan

Ok since it's Autumn and I've decided to cook again ? Another *almost* vegan sugar free apple pie

Made with stevia and a few tbsps of maple syrup for flavor and caramelization

Yum I love the idea of doing it on crackers Also, I am making it a priority to make your tri colored quinoa salad! It looks amazing!

Vegan chana (chickpea) stew on a tumeric spiced flatbread

I added spinach but it's not traditional, also the stew is still amazing without the flat bread ♥️

Tutorial below for anyone interested

Prepared food for 24 h shift. Hopefully shift's not going to be as bad as last Sunday.

Rice with broccoli, one portion with mackerel with black beans out of the can, the other one with fried tofu (very squishy and pretty tasteless, won't buy again) and sweet chili garlic sauce.

Bread with cashew camembert. Bread with mock Fleischsalat. Carrots.

Fruit salad with banana, plum and pear.

Actually followed my pretty loose guidelines this time. Some veg raw, some cooked and some fruit per day.

So I had to try out my 1-Carb Tortillas that arrived this morning, so my chicken salad because chicken salad soft "tacos". Used some grape tomatoes and was under the impression I had some cotija, but was wrong...so grated parmesan ended up having to suffice.

Needless to say, it was good!

OMG ! How were the tacos themselves? Any texture or tastes differences?

The tacos were GREAT! The texture was spot on for a regular tortilla. Taste-wise, they weren't overly flavorful, but I find multigrain wraps tend to have a little bit of a bland flavor to them, so it wasn't anything unusual. And really, the flavor comes from what you're putting in the tortilla more than the tortilla itself!
