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

These look amazing!!! I thought waffles were one of those things I had to give up forever! ***pets her Belgian waffle maker***
2 questions.
1)Where did the strawberry flavor come in, the Protein Powder? I couldn’t read on the pic
2) how many does your recipe make?

Can’t wait to try!! Tfs

Yes the protein powder has strawberry in it

You can use any type of protein powder you want with any flavor profile you like.

The recipe makes 6-8 regular waffles depending on the amount of water added maybe 4 belgium waffles

Oh wow. I'm gonna start keeping a record of "super filling meals" for my Hungry Hungry Heifer days.

This was breakfast this morning and these were the afters. I sauteed mushrooms and onions with power greens and garlic and had a leftover 1/2 piece of bacon with an egg fried over medium-runny yolk, hard whites.

Hold me. So. So. So. Good!

That looks great. I wish I loved eggs right now. Sweet cherubs are my favorite tomatoes if they are not from my garden

Every single time i think restriction is gone i need to remember that im eating sliders...

Here’s my lunch... it’s not as high in protein as it should be but it’s a nice change. I didn’t eat quite half of the southwest veggie burger, but I gave the rest to my coworker so that’s why it is mia. Was delish though

I really agree. But interestingly, I had rib roast (uncorned beef) last night with cabbage and mashed cauliflower. And I was able to eat WAY more of that meal than this meal. On the same day. Weird huh? Like the beef went down easier than the power greens/mushies and egg/bacon.

Been working on my mini-meal game to keep me out of the fridge during non meal times. I'm working out harder and I'm SO HANGRY! So I have 6:30am protein coffee, 10am lunch, 1pm snack, 2pm coffee before picking up kids, 4pm dinner, 6pm snack. Wow. I feel so much better! Weight loss is picking up again too!

Anyway 1 pm snacks are fresh veggies (celery & snap peas) + 1 strawberry + cheese + olives or pepperocinis

6pm snack is veggies and a treat. Treats are 1 mini protein cookie (serv size is 4) OR 1/3 protein bar OR 1/2 slice crispbread with almond/coconut butter

Here's the powercrunch bars & crispbread

That Tillamook is right up my alley! Where did you get it from?

Hmmm ... wish there was a Safeway (Vons in my neck of the woods) more convenient to me .....

I haven’t ever seen coconut almond butter...does the coconut make you have to use the rr? (Which is a good thing for us sleevers )
Wonder if they have it at HEB here in Texas. I’ll look this weekend

This is the only one I've seen. It's made locally and I first tried it at the farmer's market. They now have it in some local grocery stores here in Portland and you can buy it online. But, small batch nut butters are really popular right now. I wouldn't be surprised if there was someone making something similar close by. If you have access to a specialty grocery store, check it out! If not, exploring all the fun grocery options can go on your agenda for your next trip to a larger city. I used to live in the boonies and liked to stock up on interesting groceries and spices while in town. Food tourist!
