Whats safe to eat in a pub salad? (food mentioned)

Just had a look on that link to the pub, they don't seem to cater well for vegetarians do they?!

No not at all. Im still thinking the wensleydale salad is my only choice minus the dressing, toms and crutons. Wow yummy a plate of lettuce with a tiny bit of cheese, Im so looking forward to it lol

What about eggs? They're ok, boiled egg and bacon??!

Thats a good idea perhaps they could add a boiled egg to make it more exciting. Thanks Aly.

Lottie thank you for the encouragement. Good idea about the shake, think I will try that. You must have so much will power to have a shake whilst other people are eating a roast dinner! Ive already come across the SIL saying why are you ringing the pub in advance, you dont need to lose any more, take a day off, you know the normal blah blah, but im determined not to give in

im going to the pub with my mum, sister and bro in law on sunday. im taking a tetra and a toffee bar with me

They just dont understand do they!! stick to your guns! you know when you will stop the diet, and no-one else! and its not the sort of diet you can have a 'day off' from!
I have been known to have a soup before going out, arranged a salad there, and munched on a bar while they all had dessert! it was chocolate, so no-one really said anything!
The feeling you get knowing you have gone out, had a good time AND kept to the diet is amazing!! and well worth it! Dont consider not going, you still have to live! and life's about adapting to situations. When we are at target weight we will still have to make careful choices, so people will just have to get used to us phoning in advance and making arrangements! its a life change, and it starts now!
I would call them again and ask what they can arrange for a vegetarian salad wise, and see what you fancy!

Thats great planning.

Great choice of word and all true. Target is where I failed and now trying to get back to. I learnt my lesson and never want to go back to ss+ again after this

I often eat a few cherry tomatoes as I can't stand plain lettuce and even add balsamic vinager and still I remain in ketosis. I have even cheated and eaten a jaffa cake and I have never come out of ketosis. I lost 13 lbs this week so I think it depends on the person and how easy it is for you to be taken out of ketosis. x

hi, its difficult but when i first went to the pub for lunch on ss i took my soup and they made it up in a bowl and i ate that, you could also ask for a side salad of lettuce and cucumber with a little balsamic.
if not i would go for the cheese salad, but ask for lettuce and cucumber only. i am known as the green lady at our local, i have chicken breast, cold broccoli, lettuce and cucumber with some balsamic. have a nice time anyway xx

[miss jelly tot]

Well I got my cucumber, balsamic vinegar and shake at the ready the night before then I got ill. I've got a major cold and look awful so after all that I can't go. Thank you everyone anyway, I will just have to rearrange x
