  • So.. I dropped out of the final challenge because I decided mid-week to try going full carnivore for the next 5 weeks. The last 2.5 days I've been primarily eating meat, eggs and cheese to the point of "comfortably stuffed"... and this morning I'm down 3 pounds!! I'm mostly on this for the health benefits, and to see whether it affects athletic performance/overall energy levels, but I was also curious about the fat-loss side of it. So far I think most of what I've lost is just straight-up bloating from all the fiber and water retention on a standard carb/veggie diet, but I feel great and excited to see where this goes...

    If you're curious:

Oh gosh I am covering you in prayer!! Lots of water!!

Just watch out for the binge once you're feeling good again -- I've found once I'm recovering it's so easy to overdo it and it all comes right back :weary:
Hope you feel better soon!!

What is everyone’s favorite healthy dinner meal?

I’d love ideas as I always feel like I am scrambling for a healthy dinner in the evenings between the kids activities. I’d love to get some new
Ideas!!!

Beef chili is my high protein, low cost, super easy favorite, and it can all be cooked in one pot if you pre-cook the beef and drain the fat while sautéing the onion and garlic. Then just throw the beef back in (1lb) with one big can diced tomatoes, one big can kidney beans (the large Hanover size -- and rinse them first!!), ~1/3c salsa, a bunch of chili powder, some cumin, black pepper and a dash of instant coffee. Simmer until the beans are tender, stirring occasionally.

Emma L.

So many wonderful ideas!!!! Thank you!!

  • I'm so happy with my progress since January! And I wouldn't have these photos without DietBet. It's a huge motivation to keep going. I truly hope they'll help me continue until I get back to my pre-COVID weight.

I struggle with finding high protein & healthy snacks “outside the box” (protein powder, jerky, etc are my typical go to’s). Anyone have recipes or quick, healthy snack ideas to shake things up?!

HB eggs, protein balls (PB, oats, chia, etc.), and hummus. Cheese is obviously another good one if you eat dairy and aren't as concerned about the fat.

Shrimp cocktail!!

  • Whew! I think I’m toward the end of my diet bet journey. This bet was harder than others because I’m at my goal weight and focusing more on non scale victories now. I was excited to run a 10K during this bet and enjoy the healthier life! Congrats everyone! Thanks for the motivation and accountability!!

You could try a maintainer! And use the winnings from this game to pay for the membership required.
I might take a break from DB too until my LO is weaned... I'm close enough to my pre-preg weight that my body has really been fighting to keep the last couple #s while nursing :sweat_smile:
