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

My family had Pasta House tonight for dinner. I’m actually the one who got it for everyone because I know the salads are one of my moms favs. Not one to cry in my Cheerios I made zoodles with turkey sausage, sautéd onions and mushrooms , cherry tomatoes and deglazed the pan with a dash of white wine. Was scrumptious !!! (And I’ll be eating it the rest of the week [emoji23]) And sorry no after pic. My daughter came and cleared my plate for me before I got the chance. I ate about 3/4. And I found these appetizer forks of my grammas. Aren’t they adorable??!!

Do you buy your zoodles, or spiralize them yourself? If so, what machine or gizmo do you use to make them? A container at Stop & Shop where I live is $5.00.

I know you weren’t asking me but I want to give you a heads up. I have the Ouddy stainless steel one and I hate it.

And I tried the frozen ones and they were a soggy mess ☹️ even after draining the excess water.

I have this one, love it, plus I got it with Air Miles points so love it even more:

I have this one and like it quite well. Had it for years. But I would love an OXO one!

I’ve been searching for this recipe to no avail. Do you have a link or instructions? I don’t know how much of each ingredient to use.

1 Banana

1 egg

1 pinch of baking powder

1 tsp almond flour or oatmeal

(not necessary- a small splash of some liquid if too thick- milk nut or animal)

Blend, pour on hot oiled griddle, flip when golden brown on edges

Enjoy!

I have the veggie pro to make them myself. I’m NOT a gadget person but I use this one ALL the time. It comes with a thick and thin noodle blade and one for making chips. I tried making sweet potatoe chips in my air fryer but the directions I followed on line burnt them to a crisp. I’d like to perfect those.

Thanks, all, for the suggestions for spirlizers! I've got to get one!

BTW add protein powder if you want...

Half a sandwich for lunch. The ancient grain bread from Trader Joe’s is great: 70 calories, 10 net carbs and 3 grams of protein.

I ate it all. Very filling 176 calories.

Lunch today. I'm so afraid of dumping I won't eat Chinese out any more. So made my own "miracle" stir fry using very little oil, and no sugar and miracle rice. So dang good!!! I forgot to add the chopped almonds/cashews for the pic but they were delish.

Still working on it, but think there will be leftoverskis.

Since I got up this is my “breakfast” shrimp cooked in a little butter and Italian dressing.
