Answers:
Act really excited about the dinner and go but before you get there start saying that you feel like you are coming down with something and you are afraid to eat cause you don't want to get sick later and have it come back up!. You can even go ahead and order your food but be unsure about it and then once it gets to your table you will say that you really are feeling funny, but ask for a to-go-box so you can take it home!. you don't have to eat it when you get home though!. You could even order a salad with your meal and eat that and then start "feeling worse" and say that you think the salad made it worse!. If you think this won't work out, suggest going to go get coffee or see a movie or go shopping together instead!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

if you are a real friend to her and she to you, you would be honest with each other and say the truth, sorry don't mean to be a wet blanket but I have seen this so many times, people call themselves your friends but then they lie to you,cheat,gossip, I believe true friends are true to each other about everything if they are not then they are simply just passing time by with you!!

Surely you can find a restaurant that serves salads and meat!. You don't have to have it with a potato - see if you can substitute cottage cheese or something!. Skip the excuses!. I have 3 friends on Atkins right now, and the rest of us do try to eat out in restaurants where they can order something as well!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

How about a grilled chicken Caesar salad with the dressing on the side!? Just skip the croutons (say you don't want garlic breath all evening) and don't use the dressing!. Pretend you don't really like the dressing and squeeze a little lemon juice on it instead!. Or "accidentally" spill the dressing before you use it!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

you should tell her the truth!. she will understand!. would you understand if she told you she had food allergies and she couldn't eat anything with wheat or corn in it!? i bet you would!. do you understand what this eliminates!? it's easier to tell you what i can eat lettuce, tomato, potatoes, fresh or frozen veggies,beans, rice!. that is just about it!. you really, really need to tell her the truth!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Why did you invite her to dinner if you can't eat dinner with her!? I don't suggest lying to your friend!. Just tell your friend the truth!. You can't eat anything at all!? Not even a salad!? You could always eat a salad and say you don't have much of an appetite!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

if you have this problem, you shouldnt of invited her to dinner!. switch it up and ask if she wants to see a movie insted
