[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2067024, member: 401801"] I just had a quick google because we don't have F&B's here, but you can order the burger without the bun without any problems. Steak, mixed grill's probably all fine, just ask for salad instead of fries. Or go for a salad as a main meal. There's 42 grams of carbs in one serving of butterbeer according to some websites, so... Considering you're not going extremely low carb, you can pick & choose your carbs, really... Just keep in mind that a spike may make you feel a little off. Irritable, wobbly. And you might crave more carbs afterwards. Basically, organs get damaged if you have sustained high bloodsugars for a prolonged period of time. I doubt a couple of days, if you're picking your carb-battles, are going to set you back all that much. Experience the butterbeer, skip bread and fries which you can get any old time. (And do let me know how it tasted. ;) ) Breathe. It takes time to figure out how to order food when out with others, and especially if the others are choosing a route that is very different from yours, they may have questions or have a laugh... I know my family takes the mickey, but these days I just laugh with them, and explain I rather like having my feet, and functioning kidneys, and do what I feel I need to do anyway. They then just shrug and are absolutely fine with it: I don't ask them to change their diet, I'm just changing mine. Remember, meat is low carb, as are above-ground veggies, and a restaurant rather has you asking for extra salad instead of bread or spuds, because they don't like throwing perfectly good food out. Just go out and have a good time. And guess what.... Practically all of us "fall off the wagon" at some point or another! Some actually plan it, like over the holidays. The trick is getting back on at the soonest possible moment. Enjoy yourself. Stress is just going to make your bloodsugars rise, and this is supposed to be fun for you too eh. Hugs, Jo [/QUOTE]
