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

Oops pic forgot to add the pita chips with the soup… +25 calories

Haven’t posted a food pic in a while. Def not anything fancy lol
“Taco Monday!”
Ground lean Turkey, avacodo, shredded cheese, corn flat crunchy

Veggie burger. I air fried the veggie burger with garlic infused olive oil, and then after it was cooked, I put the sourdough with it till it was toasted. 138g in weight total. I would usually finish it but stopped early. I guess I shouldn't haven eaten a couple of slices of green apple a half hour earlier.

Lunch was this huge salad- romaine, cucumber, tomatoes, danmuji, rotisserie chicken, smoked turkey sausage, croutons, and blueberries with a splash of balsamic vinegar.

And because I knew I wouldn’t be in the mood for dinner at dinner time I made my kids American goulash with smoked beef sausage instead of ground beef.

I, instead, had a glass of horchata with chocolate iced coffee protein powder mixed in.

And I’m not even sorry about it! ?

I’ve always been taught that food is a gateway to cultures. Exploring different spice palates, recipes, and methods gives me such a bigger appreciation for those who eat those meals regularly.

Its a pita chip kind of day

1st and 2nd meals of the day: 2 poached eggs with 1/2 oz of pita chips: 190 calories; and homemade guac and pita chips and an espresso martini (not shown): 321 calories.

Ate everything shown.

Dinner! (Salad with chicken): 214 calories.

Ate all the important stuff (i.e., the chicken and cheese), lol…leftovers is basically lettuce.

Smoked turkey sausage, onions, peppers, and tomatoes

italian wedding soup

cucumbers, celery, and danmuji

Another Sunday brunch. All vegan.

The past few days have been a huge blur. I wish I’d taken more photos but I made the dessert bar goodies for a coworker’s wedding yesterday. You’ll just have to settle for these chocolate dipped pretzels and these pumpkin roll stacks.

When I dropped off the leftovers at work (per the bride’s request) one of the nurses asked me if I was a professional baker. ?
