How to fast at a party?

So I’m on my 29th hour of fasting. I would like to go 72hours but I have a baby shower to attend tomorrow. Any tips on fasting without making it obvious I’m not eating? Update - broke my fast at 46 hrs. I had half of a piece of chicken Marsala, so it wasn’t much at all. Tomorrow night I am kickboxing so I will def need to eat before I go. I guess I will try fasting again Tuesday.

Answer

My advice would be to fill a small plate with something healthy looking, and walk around with it. Drink water, and if anyone suggests that you should be eating anything else, just tell them that you’re staying away from sugar/fat/carbs. Unless your mom is there, anyone else should be able to take the hint and relax.

Answer

I don’t know if you allow yourself carbonated drinks, but I find having a glass that looks like liquor (short glass, ice, seltzer with lime looks like a vodka seltzer) in your hand is enough to get people to chill out. I get more pressure to drink than to eat… I don’t know what that says about the people I surround myself with on a regular basis actually.
