Hi everyone.
I started on cd on Sunday and have done really well this week. I have 4 stone to lose and I'm feeling really good about it. However on Saturday I have a friends bbq that I have to attend. How do I get away without eating and only letting water pass my lips??? help me please.

Well my advice would be one of several scenarios!

One option is to not go. This diet is not sociable. Another is to go and say you feel a little unwell and will stick to water . Another option is to be upfront about what you're doing

Are you doing SS? You could sneak in an SS+ day and have a small green salad and some BBQ'd chicken breast and still stay in ketosis. Bottle of soda water too. it gives me a real boost of motivation to go to functions like these without breaking the diet! Depends how you are with temptation like - I know some days I would struggle! x

A BBQ is actually not the worst thing to go to. Use the old 'antibiotics' excuse to account for your water. Get a plate and stick a couple of things on it and hang on to it for a bit, then set it down on a table and if anyone asks you can be vague and say 'My plates over there' then you can say youve eaten. If people see you with some food theyre really not going to notice if you eat it or not

Like Clara and starlight said! I've been on cd/vlcd before and been to a party and been an angel, not one thing has passed my lips, sat and watched everyone else eat, on another occasion I caved a little and had just a bit of meat, batting back offers of birthday cake. Unfortunately the last time I tried vlcd I had been impeccable for 6 weeks and thought what harm would a little tiny piece of cake do, especially as everyone was tucking in around me. Caved in big style & have only just managed to get back on track 6 months later!

Moral of my story? If you are prepared enough and have to go, go. Make sure yr not hungry b4 u go and rehearse yr responses to people. If yr feeling weak, get out of it if u can. Or say youve already had some food at home, or accept some food but leave it. Unless people are really nosey, they wont usually spy on u to see if yr eating.
Sometimes it's easier than trying to explain. Everyone has as opinion and quite often it's negative toward a vlcd
