There is usually some kind of veggie platter on the buffet table. I get a small plate and load it up with raw carrots, cherry tomatoes, and other raw stuff; no dip, though. Add a glass of water and you're all set! You're there to socialize anyway, so enjoy the conversations and relax...no need to stress over staying with your clean eating lifestyle just because you're at a party. And you may even get the chance to discuss the clean eating lifestyle with someone!

Depending on who is hosting I offer to bring something along and make sure it is healthy. Most parties have veggies and salads to munch on so I just avoid the dip and go for the oil and vinegar type dressings. If I am offered a drink I just ask for red wine and drink it slowly to avoid the multiple refills. When I am finished with the wine I fill the glass with water so that I still have a drink in my hand. That way people usually won't ask if you need another drink.

I always eat before I go, and take a healthy snack with me (just in case) and drink water the whole time. Having Celiac really helps keep me stay on track with eating clean because party food is rarely if ever safe for me.

I was at a get together with some friends last night and I knew there would be know eat clean treats but thats ok because I had supper before I went. I made sure that I had a glass of water with me all night and no dirty food for me.

The food really smelled good though. Oh well my waist looks way better than any of those ladies

Hello, I used to go for the veggies AND dip, but am getting better at leaving the dip and if the food isn't really CLEAN then I just take a bit and be done with it.. fruit is a good snack if its there.. or a few crackers, and then just get back to Eating Clean the next day....
