We are going to spend the whole day of my birthday on the beach. I plan to eat right all day, follow the plan. Except   we will have a hotdog roast. And I love hotdogs! And I want to eat them on my birthday. What would happen if I did not take alli that day. I still would eat low fat, except for those hotdogs. If I did not take the pills that day, and if I eat the hotdogs would I have treatment effects....you know, would I have an 'accident' on the beach?

 Here are your options:

You may incorporate one hot dog as long as you do not exceed your fat and calorie recommendations for the meal. 

Here are the nutrients for 1 regular or smoked hot dog = 140 calories and 13 grams fat

Your other option is to skip the alli capsules for the day and go right back the next day.  Usually alli only stays in your body between 2 to 3 hours - that is why the dose is three times per day.  However, if you have a slow digestive system, you may want to stop alli 1 day before your birthday, specially if you have a slow digestive system. 

Have a wonderful and healthy birthday!

 Oh thank you thank you!  I know what I will do now. It will be a gret Bday! Woo Hoo!

 Happy Birthday Toireasa!

Another option is to bring a long a package of FAT FREE beef hot dogs. They are delicious and we used them  when we went on a Cub Scout campout, so as not to have to pack special foods to stay on the plan and still eat "like everyone else".

 Oh that is a great idea! I did not even know they had fat free hotdogs!

The fat free Hebrew National hot dogs are great, they taste just like regular hot dogs and they are even better on the whole wheat hot dog buns!!! Just an FYI!!! 

Have a GREAT Birthday!!! Enjoy!!!
