[QUOTE="MrsA2, post: 2468910, member: 521715"] It's not one size fits all, even for one person You'll need to plan for each situation For example if you plan to go off plan for one meal, make sure you also plan to go back on plan. If its dealing with a social event one option may be to eat before you go so you don't get tempted. Another option might be to take your own food, or to replace something with a low carb option Sometimes writing down your plans and strategies helps You know you best, this is all about working out a way of eating for the rest of your life, and if you make a mistake this Xmas then you'll know for next. Last year was my first and I thought I'd hate it but it was easier than I thought. This year my tastes have changed so much I didn't even want most of it, roasties, mince pies, fruit cake etc (but still want the important wine and chocolates :) so have planned them in) [/QUOTE]
