[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2334644, member: 511345"] I had this dilemma last year. I was really stressed about it. We changed Christmas from a roast to seafood- In Australia so summer. We had lobster with a cheese sauce- very low carb, salmon etc. Seafood is a real treat for me so I enjoyed it. For dessert we did something similar to [USER=355878]@Resurgam[/USER] with diet jelly custard and cream- so low carb I could eat all I wanted. If you go off I think you back to carbs it may be harder to go back on. There is a lot of low carb stuff- I stick to less than 20 grams a day so 70 feels like a big number to be able to get quite a few substitutions that will work. Ultimately your decision but for me the danger is seeing low carb as a diet not a way of life. For me this is my life. My next challenge is a work function at a dumpling house that is sort of compulsory - not really sure what I am going to do- nothing really low carb- sigh. Good luck and hope to see you here after Christmas [/QUOTE]
