Portion Distortion

I started here today so I am on week 1, in which it suggests eating with a smaller plate. So like Kinbun I am trying out smaller portions. Here is a pic of tonight's healthy delights which looks like a lovely full plate but is in fact a side plate

I don't put much effort into cooking usually and often go for quick, easy, unhealthy options. In fact most evenings I pop into the supermarket on my way home from work to grab something quick but I am changing my lifestyle.

Actually this dish was quick and easy; steam a mountain of veg, mix with 2 eggs, chuck in a baking tray, sprinkle a very small amount of cheddar on top, bake and voila! And I've got enough left over to have cold for lunch tomorrow

It may not look that appealing but was quite scrummy and contained loads of fibre which is what I need right now following my op.

This looks really appealing. Very colourful. I think I will try it out myself. Thank you for sharing and good luck on your weight loss journey.

Actually I think it looks really yum!

This looks yummy. I agree I have started to realise as long as you plan right a healthy meal only takes a little longer than preparing processed foods and its much tastier 😀

It does look yummy and very healthy! the little bit of cheese just spruces it up a little bit! well done for making the effort to cook (even if it was quick!) as that's often half the battle

Looks tasty to me! Well done for cooking and embracing a new lifestyle. Hope you recover quickly from your operation. Good luck!

Thank you Caz,

I am sorry to hear of your health difficulties and hope you are fully recovered now. Your story is amazing, a real inspiration about how you can pick yourself up after a nasty knock.

Congratulations for getting into the healthy BMI range. This is my overall goal, although I am building a list of smaller goals along the way.

Wishing you good health and happiness

Thank you for that really good idea - I tried it today with cauliflower and broccoli and just one beaten egg and it was surprisingly tasty. If you have any more meat free suggestions please let us know!!
