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

Personally i am not partial to fake meat. I’d rather have the real thing. Or not at all! Lol.

But did u try any? Did it taste real? Texture?

I was a vegetarian for a LONG time so I’m used to substitutes. These subs are definitely upgrades to the old fake meats. They are even using beets for color and iron for flavor in some. I never really eat anything straight (that I haven’t seasoned while cooking) but I think the taste (and to a lesser extent texture) of these new burgers are close enough to make you question if it’s genuine meat or not.

I made seafood fried rice and miso soup for dinner for the fam tonight, but i dont really eat rice so just the soup for me: 168 calories.

How are you doing this week? Still sending you and your family thoughts of peace ❤️

Thank you. Doing better but it’s still hard.

I eat both pretty regularly. It varies by brand. However when it comes to nuggets the regular simulate brand are eerily close in taste and texture to McDonald’s. And as a bonus 5 simulate nuggets only have 1g more carbs, and 3g more protein for the same calories as 4 McDonald’s nuggets.

It was my BF’s birthday and last year I made a cake that I threw more than half away so this year I bought cupcakes.Of course these are full sugar monstrosities, so only a few bites from me. Honestly they should make these as minis because it’s probably all anyone needs.

OMG those look so good they should be outlawed. But just before they are, I'll have the one on the bottom left please.

Ever tried Korean Hot Dogs?

Think: corn dog on steroids.

Picked these up for the fam this afternoon and i had about 1/3 of the furthest one on left for dinner-ish.

Its a “Volcano” (spicy) beef hot dog, battered and covered with Frosted Flakes (and I’m assuming deep fried), lol. It usually comes covered with a bunch of tasty sauces and seasonings, but i ordered the sauces on the side so the dogs didn’t get soggy in transit.

Im guessing 290 cals for what i ate?

P.S. i also had a more-approved restaurant-made greek salad for lunch-ish that I shared with Mr. that I didn’t take a pic of (it was meh, i like my salads better).

Wow, that looks/sounds interesting. Spicy inside and sweet outside sounds yummy.

Truth? It was just ok. Not sure if its worth the calories.

Now, the sweet potato one, on the other hand IS worth the calories! (They were sold out of this flavour that day, boo)

Funny, that is how I justify things too. Even before surgery. "Is it worth the calories?" haha

Sweet potato sounds good too. I really like sweet and spicy together. When you aren't eating anything sweet or sugary, a sweet potato is so sweet it taste like dessert.

“Linner”: various chinese take out items.

333 calories for the bowl. Allllllllmost finished it.

I finally took pics of my food to participate.

Shake n bake (air fried) mahi mahi with lime avacado slaw on low carb Mr. Tortilla mini wraps. Topped with old bay hot sauce.

Salads for lunch and dinner tonight because I can’t even imagine cooking lately. Also I made a ginger peanut dressing that was really good but no one wanted it ?

I had the chicken nugget version, vegetarians got the hash brown version.

I love chicken pad Thai so much, but I haven't had it in months. I used to eat a full order in a sitting at least once a week. Last night i asked if they could replace the rice noodles with bean sprouts and ate 1/4th of an order (about 1 cup). My husband's full order is included for comparison. It was amazing!

Oh my I never thought of this!!!! Thanks for the lovely idea!!!!
