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

Per husband’s request, a Keto take on chicken parmigiana (no breading on chicken). It was delicious with Caesar salad. I had one small chicken breast cutlet with the sauce and cheese, plus some salad. ??

Yumms. If you Keto-ing, have u tried pork rinds/cracklins/chicharron as breading alternative? Its actually pretty good! High in fat, yes, but still yum ? and Keto appropriate.

It sounds good, but alas, I am lazy. So much easier to not bread ?

Also, I do not eat keto, just husband. The stuff I make for him is generally too rich/fatty for me. This was a good one for both of us to enjoy.?

Huh?! Never heard of anything like that with mushrooms. I’d think since they hold moisture that they wouldn’t crisp up? I love mushrooms so I’m interested!!

Low and slow in the oven crisps them up nicely (i sliced them relatively thin)

I call it mushroom crack because IT IS SOOOO GOOD! I like to add some seasoning with a bit of Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and Aleppo pepper before I bake them. They are not pretty, but I had some out with mushroom loving friends who ate them as quickly as I did. ???

My goodness I just went back a handful of pages and cannot believe the chefs in this group. I hope that’s not a requirement to be successful sleever because I am in trouble. I had king crab legs and veggie skewers for dinner and that was fancy weekend dinner for me. I got nothing on you guys.

I have literally posted egg McMuffins and donuts from a local bakery on here. ? I can cook fancy if I want to but lately I’m mostly just lazy about it.

Jumping on the salad train. ?

Spinach, Campari tomatoes, black pepper smoked salmon, feta cheese, sunflower seeds, and what you can’t really see is the balsamic vinegar or the Hawaiian black lava salt.

The Hawaiian black lava salt smells of floral pineapple and vanilla but has a smoky taste.

What I managed to eat was around 195 calories. The salmon sat pretty heavy but man was it tasty. Also, someone remind me next time that a tbsp of sunflower seeds is more than enough. ?

Also, I was gonna save the rest for later but my daughter’s cat sat on it before I could put it away. ?

My sister gifted (more like cursed) me with a 2lb bag of sunflower seeds and I already had a stash (like 25+) of 1oz size snack bags! I’ve already made nut free Nutella with some of it. Usually I just eat them as is for a work snack but couldn’t resist the crunchy goodness on salad.

I ❤️ sunflower seeds! I keep forgetting to buy some, otherwise all of my salads would look just like yours. Apparently I need your sister, too. ?
