LOL!
Been on it for 17 years, I have no problem going out to dinner, going to parties, or maintaining my weight. And carbs are not prohibited, you just can’t live on carbs alone.
Back to wearing my clothes from 25 years ago when I was far more active, my blood work and my wife’s comes back textbook perfect year after year.
Maybe you need a little BS in your diet!
Were you invited to these dinners, or did you just crash, as seems to be you habit?
