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

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

I love salmon anything! I also love all salads!! I’ve never been a kale fan but everything sounds so good!! The creamy dressing does too!!!

Greek yogurt with toppings (pb2, chia, hemp hearts, goji berry, pepita, cacao nibs) and finished it! Making a yogurt bar has added more joy to my life than expected.

Some stuff had to go:

This is what it looks like when you're using food as a coping mechanism for stress and anxiety and don't give a damn:

After the shot I noticed that the amount of jalapeños wouldn't do it and added some more.

ETA: vegan for hEaLtH. Not.

Same ole salad I’ve sent pics of before but here it is again!
I eat this every day for lunch. Never gets old For me. I ? it!!

A lighter version of a regular menu item. I think the high calorie count is from the dressings (which I didn’t eat & the regular version was 3x the calories).

Blueberries!! Love love blueberries.
I despise olives of any kind?

1/2 a coffee shop (sausage & egg & cheese) breakfast sandwich and 1/2 a hashbrown.

299 calories, ate it all.

Air fried eggplant and onions (68 cal) with a side of 85g sesame pancake (130 cal). Used a black vinegar, soy sauce, garlic mixture to season the veggies.

Ate it all.

It's called "Mühlenmett". It's a vegan version of what Germans call "Gehacktes" or "Mett", depending on the region you're living in. Some people call it what would maybe be best translated as "construction worker's jam" if they want to joke about it, lol.

The stuff's mostly eaten on white rolls. Not the sweet kind. I think you might be calling them "hard rolls".

Been baking. For drinks yesterday & then today to use up the leftover ingredients. Mediterranean tartlets & savoury egg muffins. As usual I started with a recipe & then detoured considerably LoL! Froze most of the muffins but will have two for lunch today & tomorrow. And I used a mandoline to slice the onions for the caramelised onion tartlets for first the first time since I sliced off part of my thumb. Have to admit I had a moment of trepidation but then I just dived in slicing.
