Oh gawwwwwwd!!!

Well, I can't understand most of it without a tranlation book but most of it looks like 'goobye ketosis'.

I think I'd probably miss out the starter (would just chat and sip on sparkling water) and then opt for the plain grilled Dover sole and green / white vegetables.

Seems harsh but it depends how serious you are about reducing the chance of slipping too far out of ketosis.
 
You could try and have a word wth the Chef etc a little earlier - tell him you have a number of food allergies & need plain grilled food with veg, no sauces or gravy etc. Tell him you must avoid milk, wheat & yeast products - those things are in most things that you shouldnt be eating whilst SS'ing of 790'ing.

I'd skip the starter personally, as this could give you a green light to eat more, in your heart not your head though!

Ahhh poor you having this sort of do - still if you can get through this one, there'll be nothing you cant do hun xxxx
 
The most important thing is to avoid carbs as much as poss and sugar. It's probably better to order things you can resist as much as possible too! Try and leave some on your plate. And go for the least faffed about stuff as well.

I'd go for the scallops then the sole or the halibut.

It all sounds lovely though so since you have to do this, do enjoy it too.

PS No booze!
 
toooooooooooo expensive !!! wallet and on ketosis !! xx
 
hehehe- I'm not paying! It's a conference and, as well as the dinner on saturday night I also have to do breakfast on one day and lunch on sat and sunday! Oh well - might just have to disappear or I WILL be tempted.
Thanks for all your help
Tansy
 
i could go in your place !!
there will be other conferences ............. i would say you were queasy and retire early ,,,,,,,,,,,,good luck ................... if you eat you .....nobody else will care ,so do it for you........... WE care so we say NO xxxxxx
 
did that make sense ........it didn't to me !!
 
Lol - I think I understand what you mean. You are encouraging me to stay on track with the SS but telling me it's my choice to eat and to eat sensibly but.......you'd love to be there eating in my place!lol
:)
 
correct .............. but i m saying do not eat xxx
