I decided to celebrate my lowest weight so far (175.8 this morning) by
eating a huge meal.

1 each, red, orange and green bell pepper
1/2# button mushrooms
One red onion
4 serranos
a bunch of pressed garlic
pecan oil to saute it all
about 2T sesame seeds

Soy sauce added on the plate. I'm going to have to open some windows
to get the garlic out.

If I had to eat food like that every day I would barf myself skinny.

And I hope you're not expecting company today. I heard Dracula say
he'd stop another day when the 'stinking rose' won't be in evidence.

Congratulations on the weight loss, Bryan. Not many ppl can stick to
working diet. Your meal sounds good to me except... "Where's the beef?"
(chicken actually is what I would add)

Also maybe consider this? Instead of just soy sauce on the plate, maybe a
mix of soy sauce, vinegar, and a bit of sesame oil? Just a thought about
what I might do for myself.

Well, it would not be "vegetarian" then, would it? ;-)

Brian is not a vegetarian so why do you mention that?

It's gotten pretty easy. I just avoid starch--which is more
logistically difficult than it is curbing desire. Luckily, I actually
enjoy sucralose. I've come to enjoy totally pigging out on low carb
veggies, especially lettuce. Last night I made my wife spinach from
our garden with cheese sauce made with Gouda, and I ate whatever she
didn't finish, just kind of snacking on it over a couple of hours. It
was a happy thing when this morning I discovered that there were a
couple of bites of it still in the pan.

I never count calories or carbs, and I realize that I'm real-assed
lucky that I don't have to. Optimizing ones body to operate primarily
on ketones rather than glucose works for a lot of people, and it's not
really radical, and certainly not unhealthful.

I had a major protein breakfast, 5 sausage patties and three eggs.

It was a vegetarian meal, one that vegetarians could also enjoy. I
eat more meat than is probably ideal heath-wise, but I can enjoy a
vegan meal as long as it doesn't include a bunch of starch. I don't
try to substitute calories from protein for calories from carbs. That
doesn't make me feel good. Instead, I substitute fat for carbs,
mostly neutral or good fat. The lunch I described had a half a pound
of cheap button mushrooms instead of meat, and the soy sauce provided
plenty of umami.
