My cdc has advised me to only cook/have hot one sachet per day as the heat does somewhat diminish the nutritional value in the pack.
I never did master the art of muffins and crisps described on the sticky thread :sigh:.
SS and a social life can be tricky to balance but it is only a problem if you let it be. I have been doing CD for just over 5 months now (SS 4mths 790 1mth) and have managed not to let my social life suffer at the hand of my diet and vice versa. I have drawn the line at accompanying my friends to restaurants up until very recently
but we go to the cinema, out for coffee and have nights in around each others houses. There is something strangely empowering about spending a night with a room full of doritos without having any and working through a big bottle of sparkling mineral water and my yummy cranberry bar instead
safe in the knowledge that I have been "cooking fat" while having fun for the whole evening.
If you do feel that you cannot maintain a social life without eating from time to time try to stick to the foods/amounts you are allowed on the aam/790plan as they are unlikely to knock you out of ketosis - stay away from the carrots as being a root vegetable they a relatively rich in carbs. Just a word of warning though, once you start allowing yourself to nibble while on SS, even if it is just a little bit, it can be very hard to go back to SSing 100%.
OK I have rambled on enough here. I am lunching with my girlies today, they have picked a lovely restaurant and have told me that they serve my favorite...............Mmmmmmm sparkling water in a tall glass with lots and lots of ice.... and a straw
