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

Today's fast breaker.

There is a vanilla version as well. Both taste ok but I'm not sure yet if they will be a staple.

Some leftovers:

Maultaschen (used as ravioli) with zucchini, broccoli and mushrooms in a tomato sauce. The broccoli didn't match but had to go.

Burgers again. Used different buns this time and they're a better match. Made one with Gouda's Glorie cheddar style sauce and jalapeños and one with a spicy ketchup like sauce and a Bedda melt slice. I want to try some vegan bacon next time on the cheese burger.

This one went straight to the fridge for eating later:

This time I made them in the oven (the paper "wrapping" worked quite fine, no mess in the microwave/oven, just throw away the messy paper) and they browned nicely. I guess these burgers will be a keeper.

I wonder how people manage to take pictures of a burger or sandwich that don't look just plain ugly, btw. ?

Anyway, this was today's fast breaker: soup and burger. I wanted something warm and spicy. It's cold again in Germany.

The soup was ok. Even for my taste a bit salty. Too expensive, so I might buy again when on sale but it won't be a staple.

Some dinner food.

The product

Made homemade protein bars. I’m going to try making some with powdered peanut butter next time and see if I like them.

Lunch today- stir fry kimchi and edamame, some tomatoes and onions, tamagoyaki, and teriyaki chicken.

How was it? (And how are you doing?)

They weren’t bad. And super simple- nut butter, protein powder, and either non dairy milk or sugar free maple syrup to bind it. The recipe said to dip in chocolate but they’re fine without it. And for the most part doing well. Starting to get cabin fever since it’s been so abnormally warm lately.

Toasted sandwich and chocolate bananas.

Dinner. Boring. Teeth mark to make it look less boring.

I’m definitely trying this!

It’s So good. I think next time I make it though I’ll use the low sodium soy sauce. Little salty for me. But I loved this recipe. A friend was eating it at work and gave it to me!
Let me know if you like it! Very light.

I always have to buy 2 types of soy sauce for my family. I can only tolerate the low sodium version. I’ll definitely post when I make this dish!

Salad! Salmon with a pre made mix called sweet kale: kale, cabbage, brussel sprouts etc. It comes with seed mix toppings of pepitas, sunflower seeds and dried cranberries. I think the included dressing is a creamy poppy seed blend (which I never eat) I used sesame oil and soy sauce to dress it.

I almost made the mistake of adding croutons knowing that this is already a lot of chewing.I’m so glad I did not. ?

Also a protein water I’ve been working on for the past 2 days. They have improved a lot in the last 5 years
