Working Solutions What to eat in Indian Restaurant?

[ECombat]

Hi,

We are going out for a meal and I would like to know what food is safe to eat that will not kick me out of Ketosis? Help!!!

I go once a month for a curry with the girls and managed to keep up the tradition by not having a starter and having chicken tikka main. Not a curry just bits of chicken marinated then cooked and served with salad. I know it sounds a bit boring but it is tasty and never kicked me out ketosis

Oh thanks! I like Chicken Tikka!

 

[smidge87]

Me too but man I'd love a nice naan with some sauce to dip it in right now

This is good to know.

I ended up at an Indian restaurant and ordered chicken with one of the sauces. I didn't really know what to get. It was a tomato based sauce with peppers so it seemed good enough. And I didn't have any of the sauce except the bit covering the chicken itself. I also had a poppadom and some rice (in for a penny, in for a pound). I'm am a bit funny with ketosis and don't whether I'm in or out so I can't definitely say if I was knocked out. I still lost a tiny bit of weight the next day.

What do you have with the chicken? I was keeping it quiet about the the diet and thought it would look strange only to have chicken (especially plain) and nothing else. Is there any other options?

 

[smidge87]

Well it's traditionally served with salad so it's like a posh chicken salad I told my friends about the diet so they didn't question it. It sounds like you made good choices though, tomato based is always better on any diet anyway!

How about a tandoori mixed grill as a main? It's only meat with no sauce and can be served with salad!

 

[smidge87]

Oh yea, that sounds good too, then you could have the chicken tikka as a starter? I think sometimes it comes with naan but you can just ask to not have that, or only eat a tiny piece! When is your meal? Are you looking forward to it?

Hi smidge87, we are going tonight in our local Indian restaurant. It's really nice there!

 

[smidge87]

Ooo in that case, enjoy have a fab evening

Hey hun, how did it go?

I use to love Chicken Shaslik which is basically tandoori chicken but with chunky onions and peppers with it - really yummy! And that always comes with a salad too so doesn't look odd oredering without rice. Kind of like a posh kebab (minus the pitta)

I have also just gone and ordered a nice wet curry, but instead of rice I just have a side dish. Not sure whether I was still in ketosis but always lost weight and was never hungry the next day so guessing it was ok?

I LOVE curry Drooling just thinking about it now! x

It went really well. I had the tandoori mix grill with just salad and that's it. I feel really full and I did not feel that I'm missing much. I used to love rice with an Indian meal but it did not bother me much now.

 

[smidge87]

Sounds delicious, I'm looking forward to my next curry night already now

Thank goodness for this thread, I go for a curry every 2 months with the girls and forgot it was on Saturday, bit hesitant to have any meal other than exante but I really don't want anyone apart from my hubby to know I am on the diet and this way I can go, make a good choice and in two months time they will hopefully see a difference in me
