➡️Don’t Arrive Hungry.

Make sure you eat a little before hand, even if you’re a one-meal-a-day (OMD) person or an intermittent faster (IF). This may be the day to have a light keto snack or keto lunch. Expand your eating window to include a small keto meal before the event. Not only will this make sure you do not fall into temptation as soon as you walk in but, if there are limited keto choices, you will not feel ravenous.

➡️Find Keto Friendly Foods at the Event.

There is usually something low carb and healthy available at any event or gathering. Focus on clean eating like enjoying the meat and cheese platters and also the veggies and dip.

If something has the tiniest bit of non-keto ingredients, have some. Especially if you follow step one, you’re in good shape.

➡️You Do Not Need To Discuss Your Eating Style.

You don’t need anyone’s permission or validation about your food choices. You are eating healthy for yourself. If you know you’re going to encounter a family member or friend that means well but is a food pusher, be prepared with a response. Walk in to the event with a thick skin and a huge smile. People can be hard to deal with sometimes.

➡️Plan an Exit.

If this isn’t one of your preferred social events, have plans to leave a little early. You can always change your mind if you’re having fun. We have all been invited to obligatory events that we’d maybe prefer to skip. Show up, say hello and let the host know you have another engagement.
