Subject: Any tips on planning for a diet cheat?

Hi everyone

I have something coming up next week and I don't know if I can do anything ahead of time or if I just have to pick up the pieces on the other side.

A darling, elderly Japanese lady is taking me to lunch. I encountered her on my beat last week and I was able to help her out of a big predicament. Out paths crossed again today and she wants to thank me with lunch. I wasn't about to try to explain to this sweet woman (who doesn't speak fluent English) that I'm on this special diet yada, yada.

I'll try to keep carbs to a minimum, but I don't want to offend her by refusing to eat any certain item. Etiquitte is different from culture to culture and I don't want her to think I'm a rude American. I also want to have a nice, pleasant visit with her, without drawing attention to what I am or am not eating.

I've never eaten Japanese food, but I'm sure rice will be involved. How does the body react to carbs after being carb-free for 3 weeks? Will I bloat, gain water, feel blah?

Jaytee, are you a sister in law enforcement? (NT) -- Kel, 06:48:43 08/09/02 Fri
- Well, quasi------Parking Enforcement. I don't run with the Big Boys. :-) What do you do, Kel? (NT) -- jaytee, 08:42:43 08/09/02 Fri
  - I started out as a PEO too, I know deal mostly with Code Enforcement issues. The state allows me to arrest, search & seize, but I don't make single-handed arrests. I still write the occassional handicapped ticket =) (NT) -- Kel, 11:12:04 08/09/02 Fri
    - Now* if I could only spell LOL. (NT) -- Kel, 11:13:23 08/09/02 Fri
Call it a CAD day, and eat only the one meal high carb for the day, make sure you eat it within one hour and it shouldn't affect you too badly. Sometimes my body reacts to carbs badly, after not having them for awhile, but mostly bread does it to me. I haven't eaten rice in so long I wouldn't know about that, but I don't think it would be as bad. Eat small amounts if at all. (NT) -- Sherry, 08:51:16 08/09/02 Fri
- I'm not hip to all the abbreviations. What is CAD? (NT) -- jaytee, 09:00:30 08/09/02 Fri

When I go to a Japanese place, I eat the terriaki - either chicken or beef, I will eat a couple spoons of the rice, but mostly I stick with the veges and/or a California roll (which also has a small amount of rice). Have a great lunch -- I'm jealous! Welcome to the board sis, it's great to have a L.E. sister here with us! (NT) -- Kel, 11:16:37 08/09/02 Fri
- Ah So...Teriyaki it will be. Thanks for the tips and thanks for the welcome (NT) -- jaytee, 21:02:30 08/09/02 Fri
