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

Sub and build your own salad night! My plate is the one in the bottom left

it was A LOT of tortilla and that whole wrap was a whopping 660 calories! I obviously ate less than half because, tortilla.

Our annual Riverfire is tonight (lots of fireworks along a length of the river as it wraps around our city centre set to music you hear on radio) & as usual going to a friend’s who lives on the river to watch it. Was asked to make the sausage rolls I made for New Year’s. The little lone one is one I’m keeping for myself - taste test lol!

Shame it’s such a miserably cold, windy & rainy day. So much for the third day of spring.

BBQ-ish chicken and cucumbers w/ EBTB seasoning. I use considerably less BBQ sauce when cooking these days. I don’t miss the mess or the calories. ?

Humourous side note to my sausage roll post. When my friend’s husband, who’d asked me to make the sausage rolls, went to get one they were all gone. He started complaining & asking his guests who ate all HIS sausage rolls. Well, my inability to eat more than a bite at a time & slow eating came in handy. He very happily devoured my leftover after which he gave me a huge bear hug in thanks. ?

So I never post on here because my meals thus far have been like a cooked veggie pattie, Protein Shake, pieces of fish or deli meat etc that never look appetizing. But this meal I was like, “yeah, this qualifies” ?

And I ate every bite ?

Good to see someone like me who can eat a decent amount ?

Agreed!

Greek yogurt. This one had too much sugar but the ones I usually get were sold out. Is anyone else noticing emptier shelves because of the start of the school year?

Did my weekly shopping- this time for the entire family. Came to $89US (not pictured is 2 12oz s of Gatorade zero and the 2 hidden boxes of cereal behind the first 2) after rebates. I practice buy ahead method for groceries. Also, the meal plan for the week along with tonight’s dinner (I ate it all.)

Junk food evening. I need to get rid of certain items past the best before date and cleaning out the fridge at the same time:

It's the fake vegan stuff, just FYI.

I ❤️ your prepping. I think I need to get back to it as soon as the weather turns.

My dad always use to tell me history quotes growing up. The one that comes to mind for this is “Failing to plan is a plan to fail.”

Personally, when I don’t have structured meal plans I go off the walls and end up just eating junk or protein bars and shakes all day (more junk).

It's fake tuna (that stuff is bomb, but IMO only good cold on sandwiches; won't make that again) with onion on one and vegan bacon and onion on the other on whole wheat toast.

Junky Saturday evening.

Kloßteigpommes with a cheezy sauce and jalapeños. Won't neither repeat nor recommend.

The Pommes where too dry and didn't get browned in the oven. Kloßteig fried in the pan is way more to my taste. I think the sauce will enter the bin. I have no idea why other vegans on Reddit raved about that sauce. ?

In sum it was a fail, lol.
