A handful of my friends are vegan and vegetarian. I used to be a vegetarian myself for about 15 years. You're very much supported and appreciated
Thank you so much! I have a long way to go (weight loss wise!) So I am very happy to be here!0 -

But its going down every time, so it creates that addicting curiosity! I'll move the little guy into another room so its not as convenient!
As a lifelong serial dieter, The part of the diet I always loved so much is that beginning phase where you're doing out all the math. You know? "if I eat this, for this long...i'll lose this, by this date" It is so fun to plan and dream and really believe that you'll hit your goal weight by your cousin's wedding next year, or that vacation that you have 8 months from now ... its always something, isn't it?
Anyway, what I am enjoying more than the plotting and planning is the realistic feeling of OMAD being so easy for me. And if it is this easy AND it works to help me lose weight... I don't care how long it takes me to lose however much... because I'll be happy and satiated for the whole process!
I'm right with you on this! It's initially hard to detach from the dieter inside. Lol But this way of eating is so peaceful, it really takes the pressure off I found too, not having to count, weight, measure, plan etc.0 -
thanks @amflautist for the idea to post my meals here! Its a great idea! I do log in all my food, too, to feel free to ask me about calories or ingredients!
Here's my meals from since the start!
Sunday : Roasted homefries, vegan egg scramble with sausage, spinach, and onion.
Monday (no picture) : I was preparing a dinner for a friend. I made kale caesar salad, buffalo cauliflower w/bleu cheese dressing, and baked french fries with a garlic aoli.
Tuesday : kale caesar, spicy black bean and kale soup, and a side of dill pickle saurkraut.
Wednesday (no picture) : Business dinner at a restaurant. I had a baby kale & quinoa salad, with heirloom carrots, roasted beets, sunflower seeds, and a lemon tahini dressing.
Thursday (no picture) : Basmati rice, punjabi chole, roasted potatoes, carrots, parsnips, sauteed spinach, and some onion chutney on top.

I tried the vegan egg a couple times. Didn't really like it. My husband accidentally discovered a breakfast sandwich that tastes exactly like a runny egg. If you used to like that kinda stuff. It's an everything bagel with Chao creamy original slices, benevolent bacon (hickory and sage) and avocado slices. It's so delicious.
How do you make your buffalo cauliflower? Everytime I make it, it turns out soggy lol0 -
@doodlebuggin18 I REALLY love the vegan egg. I find if you cook it just right, it has the same texture as a fluffy scrambled egg! I am ALL about that Chao cheese though! Yes!
Cauliflower... so easy, and it comes out AMAZING.
Get the florets cut into relatively similar sizes.
Batter : 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk alternative OR water.
Breading : Bread crumbs (plain or flavored)
Dunk cauli in batter, roll in crumbs, lay out on pan. I use a silicon mat for everything so that no oil or spray is necessary.
Bake for about 20-30 minutes. The coating should appear dry. You can tell!
Take out, toss each piece in buffalo sauce, put back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes.
The timing can be weird, but there is no harm in taking them out and poking with a toothpick or knife to make sure its not getting soggy!

Those are the best buffalo cauliflowers I have ever seen! I made cauli-mash for the first time and rice and loved them both! Super yum!0

Thanks! So easy and healthy, but they taste like forbidden junk food! Just so tasty.
Cauliflower alfredo sauce on pasta is unbelievable too! It is such a versatile veggie!1 -
@ShannonOMAD I agree, I love cauliflower, its pretty expensive here, so Ive been buying the frozen stuff, but if preped properly, it works with most recipes.0

I agree! I actually prefer frozen cauliflower when putting it in Indian sauces and things like that, over rice. They have that nice soft texture!0 -

I've always wanted to trying doing something with it cause we make a lot of chickpeas. But I'm too scared to.0

Forgot to take a picture of my delicious dinner. If you're a chicken nugget fan, I HIGHLY recommend Gardein Mandarin Chick'n. Just leave off the sauce and they are incredible, junky food tasting nuggets for only TWENTY calories each.
The missing calories are from my breakfast, which I had to eat to take some medication.0 -
Ok! Week one weigh in!
Starting weight : 260lbs
Week 1 (ending 4/3/17) : 254lbs
Results? -6lbs!
That's awesome!
My first goal is to hit 246 by May 1. Which is aggressive, I know, because of course I won't be losing 6lbs every week. But, whatever, I'm going for it So, 8lbs to go!0 -
