Induction dining out-what are the atkins friendly cuisines?

[pd7707]

hello everyone.
back on atkins induction, day1 and staing in to cook my dinner.
due to my job and social commitments i often have to go out for meals.
it`s so annoying to go through the entire menu and make special requests to the staff .
i am going out to a lebanese restaurant tomorrow night , i picked up the place, as i think lebanese grill is atkins friendly.
how do u manage during the induction?
i am based in london and there are many ethnical and international cuisine places.
any ideas or suggestions?
thanks

Oh I am feeling for you. I travel on business a lot and it means eating out all the time. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, just recently ordered fish and vegetables in Warsaw and ended up with a piece of fish in starchy sauce and potatoes/carrots as veggies so could not eat any of that

For me, all steak houses work. Also, in many places they serve salmon as a safe option. Usually it's difficult with Chinese and Italian so trying to avoid those if possible.

Thanks. My concerns are just the same , starchy sauces, sweet marinades, and breadcrumbed fish.
Chinese is out of question, they literally poor sugar in most dishes. Can't trust anything gravy either, nor the burgers
Is tandoori safe? And middle eastern grill should be ok.
I personally think that it will easier to opt for steal houses, Arabic grills , and May be tandoori... So limited choice
I feel absolutely silly to ask the staff about the recepes of the dishes... Will stick to pan fried fish and chicken and of course grill.

I also eat out a lot - generally steakhouses are a good option. I have a massive steak, mushrooms, salad/veg Or alternatively gammon and egg with veg etc.

Turkish restaurants do a lot of grilled meats etc

also regularly eat Indian - tandoori, sag paneer, cauliflower bhaji (the one that's like a curried cauliflower - not the deep fried type of bhaji) I've eaten all of these regularly with no problems

Thanks so much.never thought of anything but tandoori when I go to Indian. Tonight I opted for chicken tikka tandoori and few salad leaves
