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

I like this thread for two reasons. 1. It gives me ideas. 2. I get to see (and sometimes be envious of) all of the food people in other countries have and eat. [emoji846]

My lovely meals from the past few days! ? Transient ischemic bowelh (or that’s what they told me) so I won myself a 3 1/2 day hospital stay with 2 being npo.

How terrible @Starwarsandcupcakes. Hope they discovered the cause & you are feeling better.

Why were you in hospital @summerset?

Why does hospital food always looks so brown/beige & unappetising? Though some of yours looks more colourful & appetising @summerset.

Airfried plantains with pink Himalayan salt, and then I serve it with lime juice. 150 calories.

Speedy recovery @Starwarsandcupcakes and @summerset ❤️‍?

Chicken salad with avocado before & after

I couldn’t finish it but I also couldn’t leave half an avocado to brown. I bought a bag of avocados because the family wanted it but surprise surprise no one wants them ?

Nope, was pretty much told that whatever it was fixed itself and that since I could keep down foods I could go home. So who knows. ?‍♀️

This post made me thirsty ?

A scratch made blueberry cheesecake pop tart during a recent trip. It looked great but unfortunately I didn’t sample it because I didn’t want the consequences, but it gave me ideas for making my own low sugar version one day.

I made cookies! ? Chocolate orange shortbread with a dark chocolate orange ganache, almond cookies, and ultimate chocolate chip (3 kinds of chips) cookies.

Also, dinner last night- spinach gnocchi with roasted onion and zucchini tossed in pesto. I packed the leftovers for lunch.

It was a 'hungry' night so I made Hot and sour soup made with wide konjac noodles (the packets had chili oil, seasoning pack, soy sauce, black vinegar, roasted peas = 169 cal), and I added napa cabbage, Chinese broccoli, 1 boiled marinated egg. Total of 267 calories, 11.3 carbs.
