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

Thanks @GreenTealael. She’s on the mend as she hasn’t stopped telling me what to do today & then asking if I’d done it yet! Mind you she coughed all night long so neither of us had any sleep. ?

Savoury mince. Made it for the patient (my mum) who ate two spoons & deemed it too oily. Hilarious. Lean heart mince & a quick spray of oil to sauté the onions. Her tastebuds are way off at the moment. I found it heart warmingly delicious. Lol!

todays brunch was leftovers from yesterday's brunch, ha!

ordered a smoked salmon benedict and shared one of the "benedicts" with the Kid and brought the other one home (i asked for another plate to put the extra one on before we dug in to keep it pretty lol).

anyway, wasn't sure how a smoked salmon eggs benny would hold up after 24 hours, but i ate what i ate today and im still alive and have no stomach issues (so far!)..so its all good (i think!)

435 calories for the before pic (including the tsp of pesto i put on the side)

ate all the egg, about 2/3 of the english muffin, and about 1/2 of everything else, looks like.

no one wanted the rest so its in the bin.

Did a whole bunch of errands today and by the time I got home I was starving! Starting at the avocado and going clockwise- sliced avocado, strawberries, blueberries, fontina, Roth blue cheese, espresso bellavitano, pizza Gouda, salame calabrese, prosciutto, coppa Italiana, salame Milano, snack mix and cinnamon toast cookies and dry cured olives

The leftovers (including the plate) went into a bag for breakfast in the morning. Calories adjusted to what I ate.

Drool, food porn

quick lunch me and Mr. shared:

Sesame milk bread with brie and a bit of homemade cherry compote (basically like a savory cherry jam...i had a ton of cherries from a recent cherry-picking excursion that needed using up)

412 cals for all of it. 206 calories for what i ate (i.e., half of it)

Hahaha

I think we are all eating the same stuff. I’ve had way more cherries this summer than ever before. And my BF just had smoked salmon.

A scratch made Belgian waffle! I made it with Greek yogurt and collagen powder.
Anyone else taking collagen? How do you hide/incorporate it? I usually add it to a Chai latte or London fog.

Fab fab fab! Sometimes simple stuff is the best.

I take that Spoiled Child collagen, it is a mango flavored liquid. I got tired of trying to mix powders! I put it in sugar free fruit drinks or tea but you have to dissolve the other drink powder first if you use one or the collagen will make it clump for some weird reason. So far I like it... But your waffle looked seriously delicious!

I will look out for that brand, thanks!

Lol maybe we all are on the same "cycle". I've been craving corn on the cob recently.
