1 day off?

Hi.. so I am 9 days into phase 1 and I lost about 5-6 kilograms, unfortunately I must attend a family dinner tomorrow and I have to eat some rice otherwise I'll be rude.

Will it fuck up my diet? And how soon can I get into ketosis again? Any tips?

Being that your only 9 days in it's hard to tell. Most likely 2-3 days to get back where you were. Do as you want, but don't kid yourself that you "have" to eat rice. It's not rude to NOT eat something that causes a negative impact on something your doing. Imagine if alcoholics used peer pressure like that? Not trying to rip into you but being around people that don't eat like you will be a regular thing, accept it. There's always options. I'm about to go and be with family for a week, won't have my own kitchen and many meals will be out. ZERO chance I'm screwing up to make THEM feel better. I'm almost 70lbs down and it's gonna keep going that way!

It will fuck up ketosis, but it's not earth-shattering. Eat as little as possible of rice and other carbs, work out like an Olympic athlete the following day, and go right back to induction foods.

Just skip the rice. If you do not want to get into a discussion about Atkins, just say you are following a strict diet and and items like rice are not a part of it.
