If you're curious, last night's dinner involved a nice cottage cheese spread on a loaf of processed cardboard, with some fresh salad greens on the side. Delicious.

Oh good grief! Are you even eating?
Well, are you ok with pesto? I should have fresh basil in a couple of months. Planted Genovese Basil a week ago and they're already wonderfully sprouting. Should be ready by end of August. :D
Charo: I've come to see this as a set of conditions for two distinct challenges:
1. Given this list of restrictions, what can I consume on a regular basis?
2. Given this list of restrictions, what can I consume that will allow me to maintain my previous lifestyle?
So far, I've noted the following:
A. Apart from tempura and a few other things, I'm all clear with Japanese cuisine. As a result, I've been pigging out on sushi at least once a week.
B. Italian seems fine as long as I avoid the cream sauces. Yes, I'm good with pesto, and I usually try to cheat on the cheese dosage in this way.
C. I love potatoes, and it turns out that they're fine as long as the same meal doesn't involve rice, pasta or bread.
D. Soup seems good, although I have yet to find a good soup place near my office.
My base issue right now involves the fact that I'm barred from most junk foods. I'm now looking for something that I can much on without having to resort to cottage cheese every night.
For "junk food":
* Since you say you're good with potatoes: slice thinly, sprinkle a bit of olive oil and/or spices, then bake/toast until crisp.
* Parmesan crisps: grate parmesan, form into balls, flatten, add spices if needed, toast/bake until crisp.
* I don't know if this is ok with you, and it's not really considered junk food: Buttered vegetables, add honey and cayenne pepper to taste while cooking.
