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

Random foods from the past week or so. The octopus shaped hot dogs were a kid’s dinner. ?

I can’t believe I missed the opportunity to make octopus shaped hotdogs for my kids when they were young!

Made a breakfast sandwich. Some plant based shake with that, one of these expensive fruit-cups and coffee of course.

I used to make those for my kiddo! I'd boil them with her shell pasta. She loved them

Left it a bit too long in the microwave. 2.5 min instead of 3 min on high would have sufficed.

Looks a bit colorless but has a pleasant flavor.

This looks so good!

It was a bit dry unfortunately.

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.

They look amazing!

Air fried Vegetable Gyoza & Ground Turkey. I’m prepping two different meals but decided to eat these together.

Snap! I’ve been having gyoza occasionally too lately (prawn though) but I usually just steam them. How much oil if any do you add to your air fryer & how long do they take to cook?

I usually have 4 gyoza for about 130 calories but only about 9g protein which isn’t great ☹️.

I spritz a little EVOO directly on the dumplings but they don’t really need it at all. The protein count was a lackluster 3 grams ? which is why I added minced Turkey to the meal.

Absolutely gorgeous looking both!

Sunday b/f. Ok, it was noon when I ate it...

Had a few leftover vegetables to use up before they went to God (or the bin) so decided to make a 4 egg omelette. Celery, capsicum, tomatoes & cheese. It split when I was flipping it so looks a bit messy. Had half for lunch yesterday & will have the other half tonight.
