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

Had a Salsarita's Mexican Bowl for lunch today... and for dinner too. Lol. First pic is before, second is what was left after eating lunch, third is what was left after eating it for dinner. Prior to surgery I would have added rice in the bowl too and would have eaten the whole thing at one meal.

Refried beans, black beans, steak, shrimp, shredded cheese, corn salsa, lettuce, sour cream and queso

Dinner tonight: one egg omelette with .5 slice cheese, .5 slice of mozzarella, and 2 oz ham. Sweet potato waffle fries with homemade dump ranch

Tonight I made a skinnytaste recipe - turkey and sweet potato chili. I was always anti ground turkey but this was really good. Maybe I will try to use it more often.

Yes. She has some really great tasting easy ideas. I’m just making one or two meals a week since it will take me days to eat them but I plan to keep trying new things. This was really good.

That looks really good! Was the turkey juicy (not dry)?

Not at all...I didn't really measure anything but I used the recipe as a guide. I definitely put a lot more chili powder and cumin in because I dont like bland food and I don't mind heat..but this wasn't spicy IMO.

here is the recipe

First time traveling post surgery. I'm home-food-sick [emoji21] I was excited about the eggs, only to discover they are powdered. Boo.

baingam masala. the only indian food i am 100% sure i can eat (sans flour, sans potato, sans wheat) at this point. lmao. SO good though. eggplant, tomato, onions and spices. indian is my favorite food but every chef makes their sauces differently!

Getting my car repaired today and headed to the nearest coffee shop to wait 4 hours. Had some great food options. I chose this:

whole grain toast, white bean puree, avocado, fried egg, house made hot sauce

This pic was after I started but you can tell what size it was. I finished half of the toast part but ate all of the egg and avocado.
