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

Generally, no, not at all. I feel satisfied and full and have tasted enough of the food to satisfy the "head hunger" portion of eating.

Very occasionally I feel some, maybe disappointment?, that I'm not able to continue to eat. Usually if it is something uniquely delicious that isn't something I'll have again anytime soon. Or occasionally my favorite comfort foods, usually Pasta based, there is a twinge of sadness I can't just eat a big ol' bowl.

Overwhelmingly though, feeling fantastic, looking fantastic (in clothes at least), TOTALLY makes up for any twinge of regret about not being able to gorge myself.

Thanks for the candid reply.

I hope to someday join you and so many others in this success.

At 56 I’ve spent a lifetime battling my weight. (260 5’5 f. BMI 43. No comorbidity) Now I wonder if decades of GERD will hold me back as I hear it can get much much worse and I’m not a candidate for bypass or revision to bypass. Time will tell.

I wish you continued success .

Fiberous, energy bombs! Trying to make my own healthy grab and go breakfast or preworkout snack. They are oats, flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp hearts, toasted coconut, peanut butter, honey and vanilla.

Super easy and super tasty!

Hmmm. I'm gonna have to try to make these. They look too good.

How did I miss these! Agreed.

Quick snack like dinners

Egg, Nori, kimchi like slaw

No after

Enjoying a cup of matcha with organic unsweetened coconut milk and a few drops of stevia. I really like it!!

Nice!!!! Where are the gluten free bagels from? Homemade?

Aldi! They actually have really good stuff. The bagels come in a 4pack, i cut it into quarters and freeze them.

Sillykitty or anyone willing to answer

What’s it like leaving so much food on your plate?

Obviously I’m new, not sleeved, but looking at these pictures is making me wonder if I could leave all that on my plate without being incredibly depressed or agitated

Thanks

Fine, because if it's something really good I know I can have it for my next meal as well.

It is a little sweet from the stevia but not much....it actually has a pleasant tea taste and the coconut milk is unsweetened vanilla and seems good in it. I usually avoid caffeine at night but if that is not an issue for you then give it a go. Lots of health benefits.

Post workout dinner. This is my go-to when I need a quick protein/fat and don't feel like making anything. Cottage cheese, sunflower seeda, and Turkey sausage. No leftovers.

Not feeling too well today so I opted for fruit for dinner. Cantaloupe didn't taste quite ripe, but the pineapple was delicious!

Went on a date, Chipotle. No photos. 5 chips, beans, chicken, lettuce, guacamole, corn salsa, mild salsa ,sour cream, shredded cheese. Only ate 1/6th a portion.
