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

Dinner:

Marry me chicken (chickens breasts cooked in a lite cream sauce with mushrooms, sundried tomatoes and spinach, so good!) and green Beans

Before and after. Approximately 240 calories for what I ate.

That looks delicious. Do you have a recipe?

delicious creamy custard filling

My dessert nightmare ?

@NickelChip

Ingredients:

- 500 grams of chicken breasts, thinly pounded

- 1/2 medium onion, chopped

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 packet of mushrooms, sliced

- 1 jar of sundried tomatoes, coarsely chopped

- 1/2 packet of baby spinach

- Light cooking cream

- Fresh Parmesan, grated

Grab your chicken breasts, pound them until they're thin, then marinate with a little olive oil, some salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder then pan fry them until they're cooked around 80% through and set aside. If you have the patience to marinate for a few hours it makes all the difference!

In the same pan add your onions, garlic, the sundried tomatoes (or half, whatever your preference is) and sauté until the onion is translucent, then add the sliced mushrooms. To that add around 1-1.5 cups of cooking cream (I used light cooking cream) I sometimes use 1 cup cooking cream and half a cup of milk, depends on the day. then add the same seasonings you used on the chicken to the sauce, I love to add chili powder but my kids eat the same food so I omit.

once it's about to boil add back your chicken and let it cook until the chicken is cooked through, then add a few handfuls of baby spinach and top with freshly grated parmesan. Serve with white rice, noodles or just veggies!

Late lunch:

Salad. Grilled chicken, romaine, strawberries, cucumbers, olives and feta cheese. Here’s how I did (ate around 100 calories?). Salads fill me up too much, will try again later.

@ms.sss

I’m obsessed with olives and just recently discovered that a lot of people dislike it lol which came as a shock!

I found this high protein low cal ice cream and bought it in all flavours. It’s pretty solid and tastes good. I ate around a 100 calories.

Late breakfast:

Toasted low carb protein bread spread with a little bit of feta cheese, over easy egg cooked in a tiny bit of my homemade chilli crisp (tried to drain as much oil as I could), topped with more feta cheese and scallions. So good but I could hardly get through half of it. Will try again later. 225 calories for the whole thing, I plan to eat the rest later.

wish my portions were still this size

I actually am surprised myself, a month ago I wouldn’t have been able to eat 1/4 of that, but my capacity has gone up and I’m low key worried ?

I love olives but I rarely eat them (no clue why) so I’m always shocked to remember they exist.
