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 also love the international grocery store, @Starwarsandcupcakes! I could probably spend all day in there. I don't get to go very often anymore. I first started going with my granny as a young kid. Good memories.

been remiss about logging my food again since back from vacay. well here we go again!

brunch: blueberries, pumpkin seeds and a couple dates: 181 calories

ate it all!

also, my "dinner" just now:

provolone and kale focaccia and a couple tablespoons of pesto labneh (omg so good).

it was 408 cals for all of it, butbased on the after pic, im gonna log 1/3 of the total as mr. already ate my leftovers.

I usually don’t share on this page because I rarely have left overs as I’m usually quite careful to serve or order small portions. However, we are on holidays in Hawaii at the moment and even the ‘small’ serves are massive. This was a short stack of guava chiffon pancakes, after my husband and son had some too!!

Share anyway. We just enjoy pictures of food ??.

I never post an after pxt always before … unless I get halfway through before I remember to take a pxt.

Those pancakes look delicious.

I have had too search the internet for Labneh. I love fresh cheeses so would like to make this. Would you know if you start with full fat Greek or normal thin yogurt ?

Pompano, rice & peas, asparagus, plantains with coconut sauce (on the bottom)

i've never made it...always just picked it up at a local bakery....it's definitely a thicker greek like yogurt consistency rather than the thin kind.

though now that u bring it up, maybe i should try to make this from scratch...i do have a still-unused "yogurt" button on my instant pot! and i can add my own toppings...ooh the possibilities! lol

(thanks for the idea ha!)

ah...i see what u are asking now...i just googled how to make labneh, lol.

looks like u start with regular full fat yogurt then make it into a greek like one. though wouldn't starting with a greek-like one be more efficient?? ??‍♀️

...off to google more...
