If you do not want to mention that your on Medifast here is what I have done in social situations where I don't want to call attention to myself. First I See what I can have for the Lean and Green, then I put lots of veggies etc on my plate then I put a little of the other illegal side dishes on my plate and move that food around as if I ate it. With cake or other desserts I take my fork and cut it in half and make it look like I ate it. This will eliminate having to tell everyone what your are doing...

That is great advice!! This will take the stress off.

Thank you!!!..

That is a great question. I find myself in this situation alot. I never drank pop in the past but diet pop (no sugar) has become my friend. I would try to keep some type of drink in your hands to help. This will help to keep your mind off food and keep you full. I agree that veggies can be your best friend in this type of situation..

I am not there to put any cake or items like that on my plate. I know my limits...

I always offer to bring something, and I usually bring a big salad or a veggie tray. Then I fill my plate w/ that....leaving very little room for anything else! I might put some other things on there for decoration, just so no one says anything about why I'm not eating....but then I push it around on my plate, or slip it over to my husband's plate if I can get away w/ it. I also make sure to eat a Medifast Crunch bar on the way to wherever we're going so I am not hungry when I arrive. This all takes a bit of practice. Don't worry, you'll become an expert before you know it!.

I eat one of my Medifast meals before I get to any event. Like others have said, you can take a bit of everything and put it on your plate, and just push it around a little. People don't pay much attention to what you are eating (unless you say you are dieting - which is exactly what you don't want to do anyhow.).

I have even been known to fib a little, if someone asks why I'm not eating very much - I just say I'm not feeling very well...

I always take a shake with me or bar, and most people know I do high protein items so they dont question it but most poeple dont know I'm on Medifast. I just assume not tell anyone...
