Hi everyone,
On Saturday I have a lunch AND dinner out  and am at a loss of what to eat!!
This is my second round of TF - the first time I was a few kilos off my goal weight, fell pregnant, and so stopped. Now, I am ready to lose that remaining weight, and the excess baby weight!! Two weeks in, and things are going pretty well, but now I face the tough eating out twice in one day!
Since round one, I seem to have stored that pink book in a very safe place and can't find it. I remember it had a great section on what to eat when you were going out. I also remember reading somewhere what to eat if your shakes hadn't been delivered yet (?online or in the book)
What should I do? I was thinking of having a shake in morning, and my normal fruit quota. Lunch is at Balsamic Restaurant at Eastland, Ringood. I had a look at their webiste and they have salads on offer, so I was thinking one of those (maybe the Tandoori salad or the smoked salmon stack). Dinner is at Sofia's in Camberwell - I know I could chose a tomato based pasta or vegetarian pizza, but I really want to avoid carbs if possible. Has anyone been to Sofia's? What options would I have? The only times I have been I ordered pizza or pasta!! Assuming they have some sort of fish or steak, and I chose that, based on everything else I would be eating during the day, am I getting the nutrients etc that I need?
I am praying for strong will power to NOT order the choc mint gelati!
Thanks for your help

You sound like you know what to choose! Good on you for having a look at the websites. I'm not sure of either restaurant, but i would stick to a shake in the morning, order a salad for lunch (watch the tandori, the paste can be quite high in carbs), maybe ask for dressing on the side (sigh)?! Enjoy a decaf with it or something. If you're not planning on having any alcohol at dinner, keep your two fruit serves and have your second shake later in the afternoon. (if you don't have your shakes yet, have an extra bit of protein with some veggies mid-afternoon), it will lessen your hunger for the dinner too. Maybe mix up some diet jelly and have that during the day too. I would steer away from any pizza / pasta, even if it is a tomato sauce / base. It will take you out of ketosis.... surely they'll have a protein and you can order a salad or serve of veggies to go with it? Most Italian places with also do a veal (ask for no sauce, or get a lemon and garlic sauce) with veg... order a salad to make sure you're picking on that in case! You'll do fine! Just be prepared and you already are. Good luck
