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'm a fan of konjac noodles. This is very tasty. I use it as a base and added some veggies. For the soup, 30 calories total. I ate it all. The kimchi flavor was my favorite but the Miso and Tomato was good too.

I’ve been eating a lot of eggs lately. The pancakes I ate half a stack (kid and I split them to try) and didn’t eat the other half and sent home with the kid. ? Also, these fryums from the Indian grocery are a new addiction by air frying at 400 for 3 minutes.

I rarely ever finish a meal in one sitting and it usually I either graze on it or eat it the next meal. However I am 2yrs out from revisions (one lifesaving) and can eat 2 scrambled eggs and half an English muffin for a meal most of the time.

some food porn for your viewing pleasure!

i always always take pics of my food but haven't been posting much of them as i used to.

here is a sample of what i've been eating the past couple weeks!

Yuummmmm (drool) food porn indeed!!

Christmas drinks cooking yesterday. This time Brie bites. Easy to make & yummy. Quarter teaspoon grain mustard, piece of Brie, 1/2 teaspoon cranberry sauce in puff pastry, bake then sprinkle with some pieces of grilled prosciutto.

Went to what is supposed to be this excellent restaurant last week. Been wanting to go for a while but thought they only had a degustation menu & recently discovered they did have a la carte. Chose John Dory fillet with beurre blanc sauce split with wasabi leaf oil & asparagus. Started off okay but am still looking for the asparagus - extremely finely diced & barely a teaspoon. Then the third slice of the fillet was super salty & couldn’t eat it. So disappointed. My friends enjoyed their meals so at least there was that. Oh & it cost $58 (about $39 US). Crazy prices here now. Last year it would have been 10-15 Aust $ less.

Pizza ish. I used a mini naan bread and spoon full of tomato basil soup that was already cooking. The real star is the turkey pepperoni, which next time I’ll just eat alone.

Raspberry Chia oatmeal- (not my portion but it was pretty). I eat oatmeal maybe once a year.

Also Steak fries w/ketchup and bbq sauce. I eat potatoes at least once a month. Anyone else still eating these carbs regularly?

I eat porridge a bit, especially now I'm in maintenance. Potatoes almost never but if I have to, then skin ON. They were an absolute staple before surgery (I'm Irish) but I approach them with real caution now. White carby things (bread, rice, pasta, potatoes) don't contain enough goodness to tempt me any more. If I do eat them it's wholegrain/brown/skin on versions and in small portions after I've had something properly nutritious.

*Obviously other than during the holiday season when I loosen up a bit without guilt*

I like the thought of eating porridge better than actually eating it. I am always disappointed when I retry it. It just sits like a heavy alien in my stomach all day. I think this would be very useful if I need to loose some weight again. Two small bowls of it and I would be ok all day.

I have never been a potato person. I much preferred rice, noodles or pasta. To me potatoes need lots of butter to make them edible, luckily that would make me get the foamies.
