Tips for keto-eating when you are eating out.
The keto diet is all about making your food choices simple and easy. This means that eating out does not have to be difficult when you are on a keto diet. These days, most places are pretty good at meeting the dietary requirements of their customers.
Here are Tony’s Top 5 Tips to make eating out at your next restaurant or cafe stress-free:
When possible, look at the menu online before you go and work out what options you might have ahead of time.
On arrival, speak to the wait staff and ask them for the "no frills" version of the meat. For example: grilled fish instead of crumbed, or a juicy steak without the sauce.
If the juicy steak comes with fries, politely ask the wait staff if you can substitute these for extra salad or vegetables.
Review the side dishes on the menus as often many salads and vegetables come as side dishes. You can also ask for any dressing to be served on the side.
Drink sparkling water or water with lime and/or lemon as an alternative to soft drinks or juice.
And please remember - you are human after all and it is perfectly okay to adjust your approach as needed.
