Baked apple cinnamon oats. It tasted very good but the additional baking on top for 20 min and another dirty dish makes this a not-so-quick meal. Basically the same ingredients als with the cake, except that I added some soy milk and used less almond butter. Didn't have some raisins though. -

Curly kale (made from frozen) with the rest of the green pesto and nooch. Trout sandwich with red onion, vegan herb spread, sandwich spice and batavia salad. -

Beginning with raising infection rates. People are hoarding pasta and toilet paper again. I was pleasantly surprised that all frozen vegetables I usually buy were available and fully stocked though. -

@GreenTealael: what's that app you're using? -

The sticky rice. It cooks up to a really beautiful color. One wouldn't think that this cooks up to this color. -

Tofu, spinach and red onion in a yellow curry sauce (yellow curry paste and coconut milk) over sticky rice. ETA: it never ceases to surprise me how a truckload of spinach seems to cook to almost nothing, even when using frozen spinach. -

Taking a look at the inside. It tastes way better with more apples. -

Made the apple cake again. This time with oat flour, vanilla protein powder, dark almond butter, cinnamon, coffee spice and a bit of water. Put half of the dough on the bottom, filled the glass pan with apple pieces, dusted with cinnamon and topped with the rest of the dough as crumbles. Less fuss and even better than last time. -

Will have the leftovers from this evening for lunch. Tomorrow night it's the rest of the sticky rice and a yellow curry with the other half of the tofu package, red onion and spinach. Then I need to use up the rest of the green pesto. I have some green gnocchi at home (new vegan product at the local REWE market) which might be a good match together with spinach. Meh, I hate meal planning. Have to buy this, have to use up that... Hopefully the grocery stores are not sold out again of frozen vegetables, 'cause 'rona panic. I bet I'm going to see empty shelves when it comes to toilet paper, pasta and flour. Luckily I don't need to buy any of these items this week. 🙄 -

The fennel didn't really match btw but the bulb had to go. -
Which would mean you've been eating at least 1000 kcal over your TDEE every day for a whole week. Which would mean you've created a deficit of at least 3500 kcal a day for these two days. I have a few thoughts on what's irresponsible or not myself. However, in the end opinions are just that: opinions. Approaches vary. Maybe they have made good experiences with their approach. Otherwise they would've already abandoned it. Treatment teams provide guidelines. If the patients wants to follow them, is up to the patient. In any way no treatment team seems to have found the holy grail that guides 100% of the patients to a normal BMI for life so far. Ultimately the patient has to find out what's working or not anyway. That involves trial and error and the old-timers usually all have paid dearly in one or the other way after being in the game long enough.

That's weird that your drinking behavior changed all of a sudden and I can see why you didn't expect it. I wouldn't have expected it after a revision neither. You're definitely right. Get a grip on it as soon as possible. -

Sweet & sour tofu with zucchini, purple carrots, broccoli, king oyster mushrooms, some fennel and pineapple over sticky rice. -
Having a feeling of restlessness. It will take some more days though before I can take up exercising again (someone else scared of things like myocarditis, no?). Still having some cough and core throat.
Having a cold just plain sucks.

Does alcohol give you a different feeling now than it did before? What is a typical situation in which you'd consume a drink? -

Ok, never saw baking powder used in crumbles because one doesn't want the crumbles to... rise? -

Melted coconut oil. The recipe I used called for a protein powder, a sweetener (I used vanilla protein powder so I didn't need additional sweetener) coconut oil, oat flour, cinnamon and interestingly enough baking powder but I guess this can be omitted. Never saw "Streusel" made with baking powder and was surprised that there are recipes for "Streusel" that call for more than just flour, butter, sugar and maybe cinnamon. The taste was good but I guess it needs a bit more coconut oil. The recipe said to use a bit of water if it's too dry and I did use a bit of water but that didn't cut it. Maybe it depends on the type of powder one is using. The original recipe was an "apple crumble" so I googled for a quick bottom that also uses oat flour. I ended up with a protein powder, dark almond butter and oat flour. This was quite good. The dark almond butter matched the cinnamon spiced apples just fine. I think cashew butter would be a good match as well. Next time it will be a bit more coconut oil and more apple. -

Made an apple crumble cake (yes, me!) - came out fine. Adapted from recipes I saw on the web. Taste is super but the amount of dough they recommend is way too much for the amount of apples so when using the small glass pan I'm going to half the dough next time. With the big glass plan I'm going to double or triple the amount of apples. -
If you feel the need to "cheat" your diet is not suitable in the long run for you.

Green colored meal. Broccoli, onions, king oyster mushrooms, mock chicken, green vegan pesto, cashewsan over leftover bean spaghetti. -
No. It's definitely not the same. You don't have to do it "all yourself anyway". WLS is doing its part as well and it's not a small part. Otherwise WLS wouldn't be the most successful therapy when it comes to obesity and everything else (including therapy) has failed miserably. Blaming it all on "psychology" and "mental stuff" is denying the physiological part of the disease called obesity. That doesn't make any sense. Then maybe you shouldn't go ahead, at least not now.

Test yesterday was negative. So we now have a patient with symptoms of a respiratory tract infection, a negative-positive-negative test constellation and nobody seems to really know how to proceed further from there and referred to the public health department.
🙄

Yes, PH department was just like "Well, no quarantine for you, go back to work!" - yeah, the hell I won't with an infection of the respiratory tract. I'm on sick leave until the end of the week per my GP (waiting for the paper to arrive with mail as they don't want you to come in in person if possible).
Hospital is a bit more cautious than PHD and didn't press me to come back tomorrow. They suspect recent unnoticed infection and wanted me to come in today for drawing blood for antibody testing. So now I'm stalking my labs for the results from home via VPN-client.

Prayers luv! I am actually working on my PhD in Public Health, we do care luv! There are many testing underway and with all the political debates on how best to quarantine, there are strict guidlines in place. Unfortunate, an upper respiratory infection with a negative testing is a touch and go situation, especially this time of the year. As someone previously noted: keep track of your temperature daily as well as monitor your own symptoms. If your symptoms worsen, please seek immediate assistance, as we don't have all the answers. Please take care of yourself and seek immediate attention with symptoms like shortness of breath, continued tightness in your chest. Remember there are new symptoms added for Covid-19 due to positive testing and research.
God bless you!
