For the restaurants that sell pizza, you can order a pizza and eat only the top, leaving the crust (if you can resist).

My husband and I get Chinese takeout often and tend to get the same thing: 1 order each of sauteed beef w/broccoli & shrimp w/mixed veggies, no sauce, no rice. We use sesame oil & soy sauce that we always keep on hand to sauce it instead. The restaurant even gives us extra vegetables. Easy and delish, plus we don't get hungry an hour later, lol.

Great suggestions. Sometimes though, no matter how careful I am, I still feel gross and bloated the day or two after dining out. I think it's the commercial oils and marinades. Even something as simple and straightforward as a steak may have been marinated in something unhealthy and cooked on a surface brushed with soybean oil. This may seem picky and might not be a problem for everyone's weight loss, but it really messes me up. I have to be willing to ask questions, graciously and with a smile!

I wish someone would do a video like this for the UK, it's an absolute nightmare eating out here, pubs in particular where all food is carb loaded and the staff seem to think I'm being difficult when I ask questions, even though if I was gluten free or vegan I'd be accommodated. I really struggle to find anything to eat and some friends are less than sympathetic when I'm trying desperately to choose something. Bill's restaurant is the best I've found so far, they have an option on the menu where you can have a burger with no bun, then they let you add anything you want, I usually add a fried egg and bacon, sometimes some broccoli, so I'm always very happy to go there.

In Thai, say "Mai sai nam thaan kraap" (don't put sugar please). Otherwise sugar goes into everything in Thailand!

With places like pubs i tend to just get the mixed grill. Other than that and bunless burgers theres not much else for us in this country thats affordable.

Thanks for the tips. Indeed most eating out nowadays can be customised. Just asked or it or stay away if possible. I did highly customised my meals to a few restaurants that can be cooked the way wanted such as leaving out the sauce, change the sides to all hot broccoli....etc

I went to Disney World recently and with an annual pass will go many times over the next year...expensive and not Keto....so I ate many salads (added chicken or shrimp) and some hamburgers without the bun. Usually, I don't eat breakfast...but i found myself eating omelets (throwing out the potatoes)..eggs and cheese, yum!

Just yesterday I ate lunch at a local cafe - special was egg and bacon burger and chips (UK) I asked them to leave off the bun and the chips, but "some cheese would be nice". I got a burger topped with melted cheese, a fried egg and 2 bacon, all set out nicely on the plate, sauces? Yep butter and mayo please. All this and a mug of tea for a fiver!! 😉😁

I am experimenting right now and wearing a continuous glucose monitor, that gives me readings every 5 min. My aim is to learn my response to various foods, one by one. Two nights I had grilled meat, basic salad with olive oil, and hardly saw any raise in glucose. I am around 3 mmol. Then one night we had a takeaway dish from an asian restaurant. I had Thai chicken with sweet basil and chili. It came in a little sauce and I hade 4 spoonful fried rice with it. Well.....my glucose went up to above 11 and for the next couple of days I could not get below 5, even though I am fasting daily and in ketosis, 1,5-2,5 mmol.

UK Indian restaurants usually have Tandoori chicken or lamb which comes with salad. It's grilled, no sauce or rice - perfect

I appreciate everyone in this video, but I especially like what Dr Bret said near the beginning about not needing to eat all the time. This is what I value the most from a keto diet. I my high carb days I used to have to eat every 2 to 3 hours, but I recently took a 19 hour plane journey and I didn't have to worry about my next meal at all. Such freedom. It's like I'm not a junkie any more.

Went to a burger restaurant in Brisbane called Grill’d which is a chain. They do a super low carb bun and according to a carb app a chicken Caesar burger with this bun is only 9g of carbs. Didn’t feel like I was missing out for a change. Just a warning though avoid the zucchini fries as they are coated in breadcrumbs so 74g per serving!

We are huge fans of Mexican food places- we can get the makings of a great taco salad or fajitas and just make a 'bowl' from all of it. Generally one order is plenty for both of us, we request some extra lettuce, cheese, sour cream and guac in place of the rice/beans/shells. Perfect and cheap for two!! Also wings places-as long as they're not breaded- we can do the traditional buffalo sauce of just butter and hot sauce safely. That's a super simple and quick dinner on a regular basis at our house.

I have huge problems eating out here in UK as I am allergic to all forms of pepper, ground, corms, sweet peppers chilli. Even pink pepper in some shower gels, it's a nightmare. Can't have a lot of pain relief as most based on pepper derivatives. I have a couple of places I can go locally who will ensure that mine and my other half's food is pepper free as I can't have him near me if he's eaten pepper! Such fun, not!
