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

Cabbage carrot broccoli slaw with raisins, almonds and apples with a hint of cinnamon + mayo. Healthy satisfying bites while on the road for business.

As I suspected! If you really need a substitute you won’t mind any slight difference to regular flour. But it probably does not taste exactly the same.

I LOVE corn in anything!

Protein wraps, mock doener meat, mushrooms, onion, baby spinach and a vegan herb spread. Spiced with ras el hanout mix.

Looks good. What is mock doener meat?

Today's baking effort: Apple Pie with Walnut Crumble.

It's cooling off right now, so no one knows if its a success of not, bit it smells lovely.

I just calculated the nutrition info breakdown, and: 1 serving = 1/8 pie = 525 Calories.....!!!

Will let you know later if its any good....

Regular sugar and AP flour and full fat butter all the way, hence the calorie count!

Verdict: filling was delicious, crust nice and flaky, but the crumble top was a teensy too sweet for me. The fam however had no complaints. They did have theirs with whipped cream though so maybe that improved the sweetness?

Anyhoo, I had equivalent of 1/4 a serving :

131 calories.

Two years post op VSG & still have significant restriction, which I’m grateful for

Indonesian Food
Spiced grilled chicken, Brussel Sprouts, Beef Ren Dang over rice

If I could still eat ice cream (can’t since sleeve-makes me super nauseous) but if I could I’d eat a slice of that w homemade vanilla ice cream. Looks really good!

I cant really eat ice cream either, but I still do sometimes. I dont eat whipped cream though, if i can help it...I draw the line there (dont love it enough to pay the potential price, but i like to watch others eat it, lol)

It's a kind of fake meat that resembles the meat one can find in doener kebab.

Wilted Kale Salad (w/ avocado, sliced almonds, goat cheese, peppers, raisins and fried plantain)

I didn’t track the calories but I’d say 500 and this is 2 meals

* bonus video of plantains cooking

Don’t know what a doener kabab is. I’ll have to google it. Is a popular thing in Canada?
