I'm a little worried to say the least lol, I'm hoping there will be a subway around but doing all those packets for a few days, no biggy, but I just don't want to mess up somehow.
This is a common suggestion. Do it if you need to, but only in an emergency. I like the tuna suggestion, too!

It doesn't contain soy protein, which is what I restrict. To avoid all soy, you'd practically have to cook everything from scratch (soy lecithin is a big additive)

We need to focus on what we should eat, not what we shouldn't.
Also, I'll admit my guilt re: exercise. It's not OP, but I do it anyway. I won't mention it again on the daily thread!
My pet peeve is the glorifying of the food -ugh. Enough already!
And you certainly CAN exercise on IP. It is suggested you wait 3-5 weeks, until you are solidly in Ketosis and no longer feeling ill effects. Exercise should be mild-moderate intensity. An extra packet is in order after the exercise. Talk away!

I had serious been thinking about my beach trip in a few weeks and was giving myself permission to go off plan. After reading everything I've defiantly changed my mind and am going to stay ON PLAN. I've realized a few drinks isn't worth the work it will take to get back on track!
I'm so glad! Yup, it is a bit hard but it is as hard as we make it. I've been on 4 vacations, numerous weekends-away, and to festivals, BBQs, parties, weddings, tailgates, etc and remained OP. I'm telling you, if I (queen of cheats/starting-restarting) can do this ANYONE can.
My friends keep asking me when I'm having a drink (adult bev). Now that I planning for it, I'm telling them, Halloween! This is not a planned cheat. This is a phase off. If I'm at goal then, I'll be in maintenance. If I'm not, I'll maintain til January & restart for however few lbs I have to go. I also may get to goal and STILL decide to lose 10 more starting in January. I need the phase off for several reasons, including physical & mental diet fatigue and thyroid health.
