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

Airfried spicy tofu. Extra firm tofu 180 cal), plus 25 cal (a combination of onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, black pepper, 1/2 tsp sesame oil, and 1/2 tsp of potato starch for coating. I ate half of the block.

The mock chicken gives this more of a chicken flavor than I would've thought. Best tasting soup I made in a whole while.

"Schnitzel"-Sandwich

Naked Turkey Burger

Mr. felt for French Toast so we went to one of our fave coffee places for breakfast (at like 8am! which is weird cuz we don't eat breakfast lol)

I ordered a Shrimp Cake Benny and had like half of one and a bite or two of the potatoes and salad: calculated 322 cals for what i ate.

He got his french toast (see the bottom pic), and ate it all plus my leftovers. I am honestly amazed at how much the guy can eat and remain normal sized ?

...also!

Interesting eating strategy i discovered:

For those who have challenges with slowing down their eating, eat with your non-dominant hand!

I am nursing an injured arm (its in a sling), and i have to eat with my left hand (im right handed). And man does it ever slow things way down. I probably also ate less than i normally would cuz i think i just got tired of the process.

I'm always surprised how little some of you people seem to eat. Like one of my meals is more than others are eating in a day??

well, i DO eat "little" at one time/sitting, but i eat these little meals like 5-6 times a day so i figure it all adds up?

its not that im trying to eat less, i just get full quickly. and i HATE the feeling of being full (its very physically uncomfortable for me...)

Maultaschen with tomato sauce, zucchini and mushrooms definitely has become a staple.

I added some of this to it:

Yeah, I stopped looking at this thread because I always feel like I am eating way too much seeing how little some people eat before feeling full. But then I compare what I eat to what other non-surgically enhanced people eat and i think ok I don't eat that much really

Dinner. Grilled mackerel with steamed rice with one umeboshi plum. Dipped the fish in black vinegar, garlic sauce.
