over selling.... oh so many things are enthusiastically oversold
There are so many places which are mainly carb based. Most places I’d say….. not only that but often it all costs a small fortune. I’d love to hear more about great quality protein/ keto / carni places that don’t cost the earth and don’t mess with metabolism too much

My recommendation :


Today I had lunch at the flat iron restaurant in Victoria London.

A steak and a veg side dish set me back £20 and there was barely a blip in my glucose levels. I left a nice tip


Please let me hear of anything anywhere you have actually experienced similar. Thanks in advance
 
Oh I love the flat iron restaurants! Nando’s is a good shout too, I choose 4 boneless chicken thighs with lemon and herb dressing with broccoli and coleslaw, barely any effect on my blood sugar levels.

Thanks for your recommendation. Chicken wouldn’t normally be my first choice but It’s good to be reminded of options.
 
There’s not many chain restaurants where I live, in fact can’t think of any except the fast food & Nando’s, lots of little independent restaurants & cafes though that I’ve never had trouble in.

I’ve found since the introduction of establishments having to ask if you have allergens and the stringency around that, (even though I would never say I have an allergy as that is offensive to those that truly do) then most places are more than willing to adapt anything you wish

A chain which I’ve eaten in, when in Liverpool, Edinburgh & Manchester, which is perfect for very low carbs is Fogo De Chao, used to be called Fazenda.

Five Guys is always good if you fancy a burger - ask for it in a tray & add what you want, Or most non-chain restaurants, I found that they'll be more flexible, more veg, fewer/no carbs

I’ve never tried five guys. That’s another one for me to look out for. Thanks
 

Fogo de chao - That’s a definite book mark for me. Luckily it’s not close so I won’t go bankrupt! Looks fab. Thanks
 
JRC Global Buffet Wembley is great as you have total control over the carbs you eat.
 
The best way to find restaurants where you control your carbs is to check out restaurants that charge separately for side dishes. It does work out a little more expensive but not when it's our health that's the issue.
