I could believe the no-fat claim since it could have been
made without oil, however, according to FitDay both
eggplant & peppers contain a tiny amount of fat. The
no-carb claim is plain impossible since both have around
20g per 100g. These veggies would also give you more than
just 10cal per 85g, only plain lettuce & green leaves are
that low.

The brand appears to be Bulgarian.

However the paste is a popular condiment throughout the
Balkans apparently and it's even available in Turkey.

If you enlarge the label on this photo you'll see the nutrition info is NOT
the same as on the label posted by Igor.
Trying to figure out what it says, I'd say it gives info per 15g tablespoon
as 15 calories, something like 4g carbs, 1g fiber, 1g sugar, 50mg sodium,
~1g fat, 0g protein & 50mg sodium. In short, an entirely different label
(and probably much closer to reality).

p.s. nice eyes!

I like the Lewis quote too, and your weightloss page is great! I *love*
seeing these transformations, they're very inspirational. Can't wait to
post my own!

Hm, thanks. I must note that I lost 22 kg, and you already lost almost
25 kg! I started at exactly the weight that you started at, and ended
at slightly above your current weight. What I am driving at is that
you also are experiencing good success.

Yeah, but I'm not there yet. And I lost most of that years ago, with
some ups and downs. I've been sort of maintaining at about 78 kg for the
last ~2 years, and only at the start of this year I suddenly noticed I
was 82 kg again. Thank you for reminding met to look at my old picture
again. I tend to forget how far I've come, and think only of the ~6 kg I
lost this year; and I've been stalled/going up in the last few weeks,
which is very frustrating. :-(

I know the extra weight is at least partly water weight (I can feel it
sloshing around on my cheekbones when I bend my head, and sometimes I
get swollen fingers & feet). I've already started to eat less salt (I
*love* salty food!), and drinking water with lemon juice, thanks to a
tip in this NG. So far, it hasn't really helped...
