I'm on Day 10 of Induction. I've been doing well - no cheating, no desire to cheat. Tonight I'm going to a big birthday party that's being held at an Italian restaurant. The dinner is pre-ordered, so I won't have a choice as to what to order. I've heard it's a pasta dish. I'm hoping it's pasta with some meat or vegetables in it, but even if it is, I'm sure there will be a sauce involved. How have you dealt with this? I'm banking my carbs (I've only had 3.5 in breakfast and lunch) in case there's something I feel comfortable eating, but I have a feeling I'm just going to end up eating nothing. The woman who is throwing this party for her husband is running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to make everything perfect, so there's no way I'm asking her for a special meal or even mentioning anything about it. Any advice?
