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

Hey! We basically had the same thing! Yours probably being the better, homemade version. How many cals was that?

…also, im the opposite…i tend to keep all my food components separate/in their own “section” when i plate and while i eat…i generally dont like my food to touch each other, if i can help it, ???

Going away for the weekend and i felt the need to use up all the vegetables in the fridge!

Eggplant parmigiana and grilled veggie flatbread

Eggplant: fried and breaded eggplant, layered with marinara sauce and mozzarella. (And yes, i sneaked in some anchovies in the marinara! Shhhhh ? lol). And fresh basil leaf.

Flatbread: flatbread from a package, grilled on bbq with truffle olive oil, seasoned ricotta and egg base, roasted eggplant, zucchini, yellow & orange peppers, portobello mushrooms, shallots, garlic, feta, mozzarella and balsamic glaze drizzle. And fresh basil leaves.

i didn’t bother figuring out the calories because I didn’t get to eat any!!!

Them fam gobbled it all up in like 10 mins before i had a chance to have a sample. Im gonna assume it was delicious.

I’m sure yours were better but I was looking to cut calories and I asked the waitress at my local bbq place if they could make ribs with sugar free sauce if I requested it ahead or something. She suggested getting them dry and using my own sauce so I did what they call “dry” ribs as takeout for dinner tonight. I used sweet baby rays hickory sugar free sauce. They weren’t bad. Satisfied my craving at least.

The last time I measured and logged it was 205 but I think it’s between 200-250 cals because peach sizes vary. I all of my food can hug but must taste untouched until I decide to mix them ?

What’s everyone else’s plating rules?

I like to keep my food separate as well. I eat a bite of this and a bite of that but I don’t like the food to be mixed. My husband jokingly bought me a kid plate with the sections on it. I actually liked it. Lol
