Atkins Diet: Is Eating Out possible while on low carb?
Is eating out at restaurants possible on Atkins Diet or while low carbing? I certainly go out to eat a few times each week and can say conclusively there are a number of options for low carb’ers when eating out. The most important thing is to not be shy with servers about questions about the menu or in asking for substitutions. Here are some of my favorites: * Buffets – go to high quality, and stay away from anything breaded, sauced, or full of non-legal ingredients * Salad Bars / Deli’s …
great video! i have found it easy to eat low carb on the town too… its just learning to speak up and ask to have the food prepared like we can eat them. I have not had any bad experience in asking.
condiments and bread were always a big thing for me to do without. so i made up many of my own. i am not shy about bringing them with me to a restaurant anymore. i make my own bbq sause too and take it for ribs and pulled pork etc. i always take my own real melted butter to the crab legs buffet. i do not like the oily fake butter they serve. if they look at you funny, like you said, just make reference to a medical condition and no more probs. keep up the vids kent. you really inspire.
More good ideas — I usually don’t think far enough ahead to carry the extras with me, but on vacation with eating out every meal, I do buy the Heinz one carb ketchup.
Thanks for watching!
i make the atkins low carb rolls and take them with me and put my burger in that. if you beat in 8 oz of creme cheese in the egg yolks, the rolls hold together well. then i get mayo and mustard and the lettuce a little tomatoe onion and pickles. sometimes cheese. i also could use the low carb ketchup that has 1 gram per tablespoon, but i am not that much of a kechup fan. its heinz reduced sugar ketchup at the grocery store. i use it to make shrimp cocktail sause and 1000 island dressing
I could imagine buffalo parmesan-coated vegetables (say cucumber or cauliflower) being almost as good.
It was fun to make a video where I didn’t think I would be judged as harshly on as those that I attempt to have actual content, but if you read the more recent comments, you know how well that turned out.
