Hi y'all! I'm from the south and every time I've been to a meetin lately, it's been an "eatin meetin". Unfortunately, it is not one conducive to low carb dieting. You can rest assured most of them are high carb affairs. I am tempted to just stay away. Has anyone come up with a good solution for this one?

I too am from the south and so get you! I just eat before I go, or plan a fantastic lc food fare right after.

I've been to a lot of those meeting over the years. I just packed a simple LC something and ate it while they did their thing. Do you get some strange looks and a few questions? yep -- but it didn't bother me, and even educated some folks! Good Luck to you, Alma

I served on a committee this week. We were fed lunch that consisted of a meat tray for sandwiches. Other selections were an assortment of cheeses,lettuce, tomatoes and
some sweets. I had 2 slices of the best roast beef, lettuce and tomato with a scoop of mayo. I also swiped the chocolate covered strawberry. Yeah, yeah I know the chocolate had sugar in it but I bet it was low in carbs than the cheese cake and otehr thingies there. Funny, no on else seemed even interested in the strawberry but me. I later went back for another slice of roast beef...for dessert.

Can you ask for something LC? Maybe tell them you are allergic to --??
I have done that, and usually can manage to get something I can eat; unless it's catered.

Yes, BYOF and FUBYG. Bring Your Own Food. Fill Up Before You Go. Hehe.

Eat before you go and drink water while you're there.
