Hey there! I’m so impressed with myself! I went to dinner tonight with a friend at a high end restaurant. This friend and I are both foodies and always share appetizers and entrees. She is also eating LCHF but not as strict as me and things got a little dicey. I wanted to order red wine but we ended up with martinis instead - ok, no big deal.
Then, we ordered appies - she requested something carb heavy but I reminded her of the mission. We ended up getting a swordfish carpaccio and a giant meatball (which I was assured had only minimal breadcrumbs). For entrees, we got scallops with a cauliflower purée and a veal chop (and by that time, a glass of red wine each as well), along with grilled vegetables (and a side of garlic butter). She ordered dessert (tiramisu, my favorite dessert on the planet), but I abstained. (I actually excused myself to the bathroom as soon as it hit the table to make it a little easier.)
I’m sure there were hidden carbs in dinner and that the alcohol didn’t help but I’m feeling pretty impressed with myself…the big deal? The whole dinner was a comp - so it would have been easy to try everything (especially dessert)…I’m going to test ketones in the morning and see where I landed!
