dinner for tonight :) (this plate is for my bf) I thought the way I served him looked nicer then my sloppy mess.

My portion Is without rice and half the size of meat he has. Finished it all within an hour.

How do you combat the dryness without oil/butter? I havent found an alternative yet?

The combination of the ingredients - they aren't dry. But I also am careful not to overcook them? But you can add 1 tsp to the batter if you want?

Here's my cornbread recipe. It won a throwdown on YouTube. :) I have 2 recipes:

I prefer this one: https://fluffychixcook.com/low-carb-keto-induction-cornbread/

But this one is a micro version that's super easy: https://fluffychixcook.com/mile-high-keto-cornbread-low-carb-keto-gluten-free/

OK, whatever part of the South that guy is from - it certainly isn't Texas. All the cornbread I've ever eaten here is sweet!

Seriously drooling!!! Recipe please? :D

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb beef
  • 1 - 2 bunches of green onions
  • 1.5 tbsp shaoxing wine
  • 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp white pepper
  • 1 tbsp chicken powder
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1.5 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/3 cup Water
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce or oyster sauce
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup shaoxing wine
  • slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch to 2 tbsp water)

1. Thinly slice your beef against the grain. It doesn't have to be flank steak. You can use any type of meat and cut.

2. Soak the beef in water for 10-15 minutes. This cleans/pulls the blood out of the beef and also tenderizes it.

3. Mince 2 cloves garlic.

4. Marinade your beef with shaoxing wine, soy sauce, white pepper, chicken powder, cornstarch and sesame oil. Mix.

5. Flash fry or pan fry your beef with very little oil. Your thin strips will cook quickly so keep an eye out. Set aside.

6. Add oil to a hot wok/pan.

7. Add minced garlic.

8. Add water. This will serve as the base of the sauce.

9. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, shaoxing wine, and white pepper. Mix upon adding each seasoning.

10. Add slurry to thicken the sauce. The amount you add is dependent on how thick you'd like the sauce. The ratio to make a slurry is 1 tbsp cornstarch to 2 tbsp water.

11. Let the sauce reduce to your liking.

12. Add the cooked beef or meat of choice. Mix/toss everything.

13. Add the green onion. Mix/toss everything. Don't overcook them if you want them crunchy!

:) :D Hope you like it!

Also, you may have to tweak the wine, sugar and seasonings depending on your liking

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
