SWMBO, DD, and I have all decided to Go On And Die. Oops, I meant to say Go On A Diet.

I've done this before. About a decade ago I went from an unfit 217 lb to a fit 186 lb. My goal was 175 lb but I couldn't get there, because the "fit" part involved adding muscle which is heavy.

Well, I'm starting my sixth decade now, and part of the fifth was spent in Covid times which seems to have been waistline and fitness-unfriendly for me. I realize all the cool kids moved to Colorado to work remotely while cross-country skiing and mountain biking 5 days a week; I just stayed home and ate.

So, time to do it again, Jack.

We are using the traditional method of calorie restriction, which is what worked for me before. Again, I realize the cool kids go keto, fast intermittently, convert to veganism, take Ozempic, etc; I'm boring.

What I like is that a calorie restricted diet is not boring, or doesn't have to be. If I'm going to eat only 200 grams of something, rather than half a pound, I'm motivated to take the time to make that 200 grams as tasty as it can be.

It helps that we've been largely housebound the last several days, due to the wind-snow-ice storm that froze up the Pacific Northwest, but neither lost electric power nor had our water pipes freeze, so we've had plenty of time to cook.

I'm starting this thread to share interesting, tasty, very low-calorie dishes we run across. Suggestions very much welcomed!
