Being forced to eat Lebanese...HELP!

[iwillbethinagain]

Next week on day 7 of my S&S diet I have to go for a meal at a Lebanese restaurant. Normally I'd just turn down the outing but that isn't option this time.

I LOVE Lebanese food, but what would be the best option with this diet?

Thanks

Go, enjoy and be sociable. Eat before you go then you dont have to worry

I live in the Middle East and have discovered that when it would be rude not to have anything, I'm fine if I stick to meat (avoid the cream-lathered sauces though) and there're often salads and/or veges that you can have.
Enjoy xxx

Thanks for the advice. And congrats on the weight loss Maka

Why isn't it an option to turn down the outing?

It's a final meal for a friend who is emigrating to Australia, it is very unlikely I will see her again for many years

Definitely can't not go then! Could you go and not eat though? What I'd recommend all depends on you really. If you know you can have that meal off and get back on it the next day then I say go and enjoy yourself. If you'll struggle, either stick to salad and protein if you can or even eat before you go. Good luck whatever you choose!
