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

Happy Birthday!!
Looks so good!!
Hope you have a very Happy Birthday!!

yesterday i offhanded-ly commented to Mr that i felt for some oysters. this afternoon he showed up with a crate of oysters and shucked 'em for us ❤️

ate them with an random assortment of leftovers from the pantry and fridge (peppercorn patè, sourdough bread, a single samosa, malaysian curry beef brisket and rice). also pulled out a subset of the extensive array of condiments we collect in the fridge lol. oh, and i quickly made a mignonette for the oysters.

a pic of our table spread, as an MFP entry of what i actually ate.

This is the yogurt I’m in love with. For a while I wasn’t able to eat yogurt without my stomach hurting. This one does just fine!!
It’s Coconut Protein Yogurt. 25grams of protein /3 sugars/4 fat grams/8 carbs/170 calories.
I put Jumbo blueberries in this and eat this for breakfast

I'm having a hard time finding high protein greek yogurt in my local stores. It's super frustrating.

Oikos Triple Zero is widely distributed and has 15g

I've seen the Greek in the 12-15 gram range. Anything over that has been difficult

This brand is fairly new to H‑E‑B. (I live in Texas)
I have not seen any this high before. This is really thick-not gritty. Really really good. Filling in a good way.

There's only two brands above the 15g level, the Ratio and Oikos Pro

Is it thick or thin in consistency. Tangy or smooth in flavor?

Thick (turn your spoon upside down and it all stays on there-)and smooth in flavor.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I tried it. Really good. Plus I add Jumbo blueberries!!!

I did not like the vanilla one. Tasted like that fake sweetener flavor.
The coconut one is REALLY good.
My son loves the strawberry flavored one. I haven’t tried that one myself though.

Thanks! I want to try it now. I’ve seen them around for a while but didn’t want to risk it if the flavor was similar to Oikos (which I used to like but now I don’t)

speaking of yogurt, this one is my FAVE.

it's SuPEr thick and lusciously creamy but u pay for it in calories (200 cals for 3/4 cup serving, and 10% fat!)...but sooo good..

i just buy the plain though, i find flavoured yogurts too sweet.

How are you celebrating your birthday?
Actually how is everyone doing it these days? My family wanted to dine out but I don’t really think that’s what I want anymore ?

I haven’t anything planned for Friday but I did just spend a long weekend at the Gold Coast with my girlfriends for a wedding. So that maybe the celebration. Lol! I usually only do something for the big birthdays so two more years until the 60th (don’t want to think about it, far too scary ?.) It was very relaxing weekend. We spent time trying to spot whales (saw a couple), drinking champagne & eating too much cheese. Even had a small piece of the wedding cake - red velvet with cream cheese frosting yum!
