Bill went out with the boys one weekend for their Holiday party.  They had a very good time and when they went back to the hotel, the guys ordered pizza.  It wasn’t keto pizza… This could have been a turning point for Bill.  Let’s just say his judgment was not at its best and he easily could have gone off the keto rails.  Instead, he was prepared and had a plan in place, knowing that when people are partying, they end up ordering pizza.

Could He Get Keto Pizza?

They do have a keto-friendly pizza place in our capital city where he was.  Unfortunately, their keto pizza along with regular pizza is not great.  No one – keto or otherwise – really wants to order from them or they ordered from another place where the pizza tastes good.  Damn them.  He could have ordered a keto-friendly option from this pizza place.  Most places have burgers and you can just order one with no bun, although he didn’t have any mayo or sugar-free ketchup with him so it would have been dry.

Preparation is Key to Keto Happiness

But he followed the keto motto of being prepared and he had taken snacks with him to the hotel.  He had pepperoni sticks, almonds, and cheese to munch on throughout the night.  Did he crave the pizza?  A little bit.  I mean we will always miss what others are having a little.  But he was prepared and it was still good.

The key to going out with friends is to prepare your expectations and prepare your friends for your expectations.  Your friends need to understand that this is not just a diet that you can cheat on for one night.  If they are true friends, they will support you in this lifestyle and encourage your good choices. 

You Will Crave Pizza so Have Keto Pizza On Hand

You need to know that you are going to crave the pizza a little bit.  Also you need to expect that you will hear, “God, I wish I had your willpower” as your friends devour a huge piece of gooey, greasy pizza in front of you.  Try not to punch them in the face – lol.

It was the holiday season and that means food.  We get together and we chat and we eat.  That’s what we do.  It’s more important than ever that we prepare ahead so we don’t get tempted.  We need to focus on the company – not the food.
