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

Was craving a fall comfort bake, and happened to come across some giant chinese Fuji apples at the grocery store and picked up one. Made some “healthier” apple crumble that I topped with keto ice cream and it turned out sooooo good. The hubby and I shared this but he ate more than me.

I still have quite a bit of the apple filling left, might make this again tomorrow or make some pancakes with stewed apples on top.

The food looks really good, but you look extra fine yourself! Love the pose and the dress!

lol great minds...(i.e., ice cream!)...it was another unusually warm day for this time of year around these parts, so i made Mr. take me out to get some. they were out of pistachio (my fave flavour) so we went to the grocery to buy a tub (and a box of sugar cones) instead. no keto ice cream for me...this is the full fat-sugar-cream version, ha.

this likely will be the last picture of me standing upright today, i think...as i ate the entire thing and the anticipated dumping im about to experience will surely have me regret it in 3..2..1...

I wish I looked this cool holding an ice cream!! P.S. You don’t look a day over 30.

Regarding the keto ice cream, unfortunately that’s all I had in my freezer and it is definitely not my first choice. But it was good nonetheless, I’ve had two tubs of it sitting in my freezer for way too long.

@ms.sss you absolutely must get a Ninja Creami. You can make your own delicious ice cream in whatever flavor you want, fat-free and sugar-free, with extra protein if you like. I make pistachio all the time and it is delicious.

Seafood night at Mi Casa:

Lobster with thermoider butter , garlic butter jumbo shrimps.

Cod green coconut curry, corn, and grilled zucchini

What I fixed myself

How I did (apologies for the non aesthetically pleasing photo).

I am such a foodie ...this looks so good! I'm from Texas and can't wait for crawfish season. I do a lot of seafood boils with crab legs, sausage, eggs etc! I make all my seafood Bari friendly. I miss drenching all my seafood in butter ??

Yesterday’s lunch and dinner and today’s breakfast.

Lunch- after pics of the salad and mini cannolis. I only ate 2 bites of soup as lunch just wasn’t my jam.

Dinner- only grabbed an after of the salad but ate a small roll with about a tsp butter, 3/4 the steak, 4 bites of the underside of the chicken (it was dry and the sauce was gross), both carrots, 2 bites of asparagus (less than 1/2 a spear), and about 1/3 of the mashed potatoes underneath. I ate about 1/4 of the 2 desserts offered because I split with a friend.

I also had some 1/3 cup street corn dip, 2 mini pita, half an eggroll filled with black beans and corn, a mini eggroll, and 2tbsp hummus as a snack yesterday and chips with queso during bingo. I gave my alcoholic drink tickets to someone else because after half a glass of champagne I was done drinking alcohol.

Breakfast- coffee had half and half and I drank it all. Drank about 6oz of the milk but ate the yogurt and oatmeal.

I didn’t eat any of the mid-morning pastries offered today and the boxed lunch I picked was a roasted vegetable wrap with balsamic dressing, 4oz of potato salad, a cookie and I stopped and picked up green beans from the truck stop. I ate 1/4 cup of the green beans, 3/4 of the potato salad, pulled off about a 1/3 of the tortilla before eating the wrap and gave away the cookie.

I can’t wait to have surgery next week because within 1-3hrs of eating I’m in unbelievable pain. I can chug my water like I could a few months ago for the same reason and I’m over it.

Thank youuuuuu. These are the compliments I live for and is especially appreciated since my boyfriend just said that I’m “either dressed to the nines or look like a hobo. There’s no in between.” He’s not wrong ?

Vacation edition! For the few times I remembered to take after pics ?

Butternut Squash Pappardelle

When you visit a village and don't realize it's completely shut down for the season. You go to the one restaurant that is open and eat the one dish they're serving

Veggie soup
Some type of ham luncheon loaf with a fried egg and Mac & cheese (with potatoes!)

Lamb shank ?

And saving the best for last, Flammekueche!

This pattern of eating is unhinged. It’s like reverse tetris!
