I would not recommend sugar. Eat a satisfying meal before, and the omelette after. During, water should be enough.

and have never been to one on a low-carb diet before. I will most likely be rolling on e

(please no lectures, we were all crazy kids once right? lol) and I will be dancing basically nonstop for about 4 hours (with constant water breaks of course

) and i need to know what you recommend I eat before/during/after, and in what quantities, to keep my blood sugar high enough and such. The boy im going with asked me to denny's afterwards (I LOVE there veggie cheese omlettes lol if thats a good choice?) I have lots of sugar-free candy which i was planing on eating while I danced, unless you think I should get some reg sugar ones for the night?

Advice would be lovely! And again please, please dont lecture me on the x, thank you all! =]

Love&Peace

I know we don't love the bars and shakes here, but I would skip the candy (sugar free or otherwise) and take 1 Atkins Advantage bar with you "just in case". I would rather see you eat that than possibly cheat on something non atkins. Break it in half if you are concerned at all about stalling, but I would take SOMEthing.

I know this is a stupid question, and I'm sparing the lecture (because I could insert a WHOPPER here) but won't 'e' make you more likely to cheat? Sort of like alcohol lowers your resistance to being stupid... i.e. you could've totally resisted those 5 a.m. hashbrowns at the all-night diner following a night of partying, but your resistance was lower due to using substances that make you not-so-smart.

Re: Im going to a rave, x, and i need advice~

I'm going to be honest here.
Drink lots of water and just eat what you want for a night. To take "X" and be concerned about your health in the same night is a waste of time. I really want to lecture you here, but I'll save the time.

If you insist on trying low carb easy snacks I suggest Dry Roasted Peanuts. Easy to store and pretty good.
For simplistic reason you really may want to pack an Atkins bar or 9. The cinnamon roll flavor are amazing. These could stall you, but it varies from person to person.

Anyways, be careful and drink tons of water.

MDMA or 'ecstasy' is a psychoactive substance, first described as an appetite suppressant in humans, inducing side effects and even death. MDMA increases serotonin (5-HT) levels, and 5-HT inhibits food intake.

Given this, you probably won't be hungry, won't need the candy and as long as you eat a very filling meal before hand, I doubt your blood sugar will spike.

And since no one else has the guts to tell you how stupid you are being, I will. Being young is no excuse to risk your health and possible death. I hope you really think about how useless it is to try to lose weight for your health (although you probably aren't thinking about 'healthy' but 'being skinny') and then to do something so completely opposite just for kicks.

Go to the party, dance for 4 hours, but skip the E... it's time to grow up.

And often places like Denny's, IHOP, etc. use pancake batter in their omelettes as thickeners. But then, if you are doing drugs, I don't suppose that matters much in the total picture.

Re: Im going to a rave, x, and i need advice~

I agree 100% with msanjelpie, X is a very serious drug and could cause death. I live in a country where some drugs are legal and I know how stupid people look on them. I for one have seen my best friend on X (more then once) and she looked like a down right fool, and she was. I am young and I do not do drugs and would recommend you not to either. You can go to raves and other parties and stay somber and have fun.

But since you will still do it and fry your brain cells in the process, I recommend you eat a full meal before, drink a lot of water during, and eat a full meal afterwards and hope you have enough since to get home safe.

And last but not least I hope you know who this guy is you are going with, watch your drinks and never let someone buy you something while you arn't by the bar watching everything. Rufies suck big time.

Be careful.

Re: Im going to a rave, x, and i need advice~

Yes, you do need advice but it's not about what to eat ...

I wasn't going to say anything but just cannot help myself - just an FYI - I too am young and "cool" and have no need to take drugs. Eight years ago one on of my best friends from High School took "E" ONE TIME and she died. This is not an Urban Legend - she took it one time and was found dead the next morning at 21 years of age.

I find it absolutely absurd that you are even asking about your diet when you are planning on putting something far worse than any carb into your body.

Good-Luck.

Re: Im going to a rave, x, and i need advice~

Being young doesn't mean being stupid. Do you want to be grown enough to do what's right for your health and your mental well-being or do you want to be young and stupid to impress a "cool" boy?

EDIT: Not even talking about the diet, don't even bother staying on plan that night... It's the least of things you should be re-evaluating.

Re: Im going to a rave, x, and i need advice~

You know that all of us on the board here are EXTREMELY concerned about health. Why would you come here and say you are going to do an illegal drug and then ask not to be lectured? We were all once young, definitely. I personally have never done drugs. Never even thought about it. Not even once. Doing any kind of drug is possibly the most stupid thing a young person could do. For the life of me I don't understand why you need to ingest mind altering substances to have a good time. To my way of thinking if you have to do that, then it's the wrong kind of party to begin with. So, yea, I guess this is a lecture. So be it!

**VGrace** · July 14, 2009, 09:02 PM

Re: Im going to a rave, x, and i need advice~

I agree with everyone else. I am kinda dumbfounded on how someone can ask advice on a board thats targeted for health how to help stick with her diet before going off to do drugs....

Re: Im going to a rave, x, and i need advice~

It amazes me when someone posts something like this post and asks people for assistance cheating. My advice, figure out if you want to loose weight or have 1 "fun evening".....grow up, stay home and stay on plan.

Re: Im going to a rave, x, and i need advice~

I think its strange that anyone would feel the need to add that info to a post in the first place. If *I* were doing something like that, I would not consider it relevant to the actual question.

I mean, "I'm doing drugs but please dont lecture" is like, please lecture me because I am adding non-pertinent info to the post.

IMO? You are free to do to your body whatever you want, thus no lecture, but don't expect people to feel sorry for you or even help you (unless they really FEEL like it) when you suffer repercussions.

Are you kidding?

You won't be hungry AT ALL on E. Just very thirsty and have some gum- sugar free.
