I’ve been on Keto since January 2020. Down 80 pounds and love Keto. You girls offer some great advice and recipes. My favorite eat out is at our local Red Robin (near Seattle) Home of bottomless steak fries. I order a burger (minus the bun) wrapped in lettuce. Instead of fries I have their bottomless steamed broccoli. Thanks again for a great channel.

I so rarely eat out now. I moved to a very rural area so there are not not a ton of options unless I want to drive 90 miles to get to the closest city. I’ve just been eating my Factor meals lately. I found some simple things to order at the Mexican restaurant that are decent if my friend wants to go out to eat. It’s not too difficult to make it work. Thanks for always thinking up good ideas to talk about. I think the more we talk about it and hear ideas, the easier it becomes to make this a lifestyle and not just another diet.

My family is going out to a dim sum restaurant for New Year’s brunch. There was little sympathy for my plight when the decision was made because the important guests are the family visiting from overseas, whom I really want to see. What a way to start my keto year! I looked at the menu online, and my choices are extremely limited. I can probably order egg drop soup, Chinese broccoli, and chicken feet. Maybe pork ribs if they’re not saucy. I decided I’d watch a bunch of successful keto examples on KZfaq, like yours, eat something before the family comes to pick me up, and enjoy my time with the family, pushing food around on my plate like Princess Diana, and promise myself a day making KetoTwins recipes like crab Rangoon to make it up to myself.

Steak salad~ if we do eat out. To be honest, we really don't eat out much- as in, once or twice a year maybe. We've tried over the years, but the problem is that we're usually not happy w/the quality of food for the money spent. When we can make 10 NY Strip steaks at home, for what it costs to eat out just one time~ I just can't do it. Plus, I love to cook~ & I'm pretty good at it, so there's that. My husband can tell when I'm getting burned out, & will bring home a couple Costco chickens~ which is okay w/me. I know they don't use the best oils/seasonings, but it's good & it's occasional...AND I get to make a couple more meals out of the leftovers, chicken salad or pot pie usually. =) I guess I prefer to splurge on other things I love~ like amazing shoes, silver earrings & good linens. Much more my thang, what can I say🤷‍♀️👡

Ha! I've carried a keto hamburger bun in my purse when I went out to eat once when I knew I wanted a burger. After my food was delivered the waiter came back and was like "I told them NO BUN!" I had to laugh. Bringing keto tortilla chips to a Mexican restaurant is brilliant. Those chips and salsa are probably THE hardest food for me to push away! Gotta try that next time!

Alcoholic drink I do like you: tequila (or you could do vodka) with club soda and 2-3 lime wedges. Then I always have in my purse a plastic squeeze bottle of liquid sweetener. I squeeze in one of the lime wedges (or 2 if they're really tiny), then squeeze in some of my sweetener to taste. Actually, the LMNT would make my tequila drink taste like a margarita!

In Italian restaurants, I often get a couple meatballs with sauce, and pay extra for cheese melted over them. They may have some breadcrumbs in them, but overall not a bad option....salad on the side. I also take my own tortillas and will often say "you can hold the tortillas, I brought my own gluten free ones". Saves them some money....you eat what is good for you.

I agree that you can't always know exactly what's in the food when you eat out, but knowing what options are better for you is always a Pro Tip. I say bring the tortillas. Would they rather us eat somewhere else. I also like supporting places with better options to show there is a need out there. I think it is worth it for them to meet those needs to stay competitive. Thanks again for more tips for those wanting to give up or give in. 😊🧡

We have gone on vacation 2 times in the past month for a week. Ate out a lot or fast food while driving. First trip I came back down .7. Second trip down 2 1/2 #. I brought with us chaffles and protein sparing buns for burgers. The chaffles are good with lox and cream cheese. Subway and Taco Bell while traveling just have them make the.burrito or egg sandwich into a bowl with lettuce or spinach and veggies. I think eating out is much easier then when I was on WW for years.

I have gluten allergy so no soy sauce but many Asian restaurants are starting to have Tamari sauce (wheat free soy). Pre Keto, I would take my container in and ask them to cook with mine. Now I have to stress NO added sugars since they are famous for using sugar in all their foods, even marinate their meats in stuff with sugar. Now that I’m keto, I just make my own stir fried veggies with meats.

olive garden - chicken margarita, and the alfredo sauce dip ontop of the broccoli is amazing. I also get the salad with no croutons. All in all it's about 10-15 net carbs depending on how much salad you have. You can keep it below 10 easy enough if you eat less than me :).

My biggest downfall in an Italian restaurant is fried calamari. Everything you say is true. I also feel If you’re the type of person who has learned from experience not to go down that slippery slope, it’s better to feed your craving and be done with it. You then need to hop right back on keto without looking back. Denying one’s desires over a long period of time can cause a person to go off plan and binge.

When I go to a Mexican restaurant I'll usually order steak or chicken fajitas with no tortillas, no beans, no rice and ask for a side salad. Or I'll order their supreme nachos with no chips, no beans, and add lettuce. It's basically a salad and use the salsa as a salad dressing. If I go to any restaurant, I'll pick a protein (steak or chicken that's not breaded) loaded broccoli which is sour cream, bacon ,and cheese. Some places will look at me strangely and I'll explain to them that carbs are the devil haha

As you pointed out, we really don't know how food is made when we go out. You guys have so helped me get past this with this hack and I appreciate it. I like fajitas and Five Guys (no fries).

Every single time we go out to a Restaurant I gain. I watch what I'm eating very closely. We go to spicific restaurants that I'm able to control to the best of my abilities by telling them what I want and in some cases even telling them how to cook it. I understand that most people are not like me and will tend to just take what is served to them but I'm a bit more demanding in that case. In new places we go to, we try to get as close as humanly possible to keto and on PSMF days we do not eat out. Good Video

At a chinese restaurant both the egg drop soup and the hot and sour soup are very low carb. I love chinese food, and I struggle with not being able to get my hot fix, as most spicy sauces are brown, and the brown sauces contain a lot more sugar and starch. The white sauces are generally less sweet. Some places will leave out the cornstarch thickener if you ask them, the resulting sauce will be pretty thin. If this bothers you, you can add a tiny bit of xanthum gum when you get the take out home to thicken the sauce. BTW my son lives in Wrigleyville.. Might take him to that Old Irving Brewing Co. next time we visit. Looks amazing.

I find most Asian cuisines are the hardest restaurants to go to. I have been caught ordering a soup and not realizing it has angel hair noodles or has sneaky rice underneath a stir fry. I really value a lot of common sense ways you explain things. I think that not beating yourself up if you taste a little bit of sugar in a sauce puts you in a better mindset to not think all is lost and eat everything. The hard core way some people do keto can be a lot of pressure and I don’t think is sustainable for people who are battling their minds and old addictions.

Taco Bell Power Bowl FTW! No beans no rice and please, don't forget the guacamole! Whip out them tortillas and enjoy! Love to add the loaded taco quest protein chips too. Thanks for the keto twins vibes! 🌮🌮

Here in Canada, we have fewer options. Vegan is the flavor of the day so Keto doesn't show up much in stores or restaurants. I've only been to one restaurant this year that actually advertised a lettuce wrap for burgers but the servers I've asked haven't seemed surprised at a request for no bun so they're ahead of their management. Fast food and international chains are still lagging behind the US here but I live in hope...

We always get comments from people saying that outside the US they have so many less options 😢, hopefully they will come to you soon! -Em

If I’m going out (which is rare) I put iceburg lettuce in ziplock bag so I can make my own lettuce wrapped sandwiches/burgers. I’ve also taken in my own salad dressing in small condiment containers. I’ve been taking this stuff in for 40 yrs due to my allergies. It’s never been a problem.

@@ketotwins It's your population size in the US, 10 times the size of ours in Canada. This automatically means that it's less economically feasible for entrepreneurs in countries that don't have the economy-of-scale advantage a large population gives to invest in developing and offering a wider range of products.

I take low carb things in my purse too. LOL I went to a Mexican restaurant today and ordered 2 soft tacos supreme and took off the tortillas and dumped out the filling on my plate. Was like a taco salad. I've been known to take low carb tortillas with me in a baggie in my purse also.

I worked at a Gyros place for years..(FYI the G is silent)… anyway, now I order the Gyro salad and I mix the dressings… ranch and house … yum. Also really good with the chicken Gyros. Great video. Can’t wait to try the LMNT!

I worked at a Greek restaurant for 19 years. We would use different types of gyro, whenever a certain one would be out of stock. The ingredient list always listed breadcrumbs.

Today I joined a group for lunch at a popular cafe. There were so many choices. I ate a stuffed chicken breast with extra salad and told them to hold the corn cobs.

Keepin it real 😎 I love it. For alcohol, a lot of places now serve seltzers and most places have Michelob Ultra if you want a beer 😋🍺 I agree with giving in a little bit. When I have pizza, I take my first bite with the bread and then scrape off the toppings. Hey, a little ain't gonna kill me and it tastes good 🤪

Living in Mexico it's easy to stay Keto. While the taco trucks are irritable, I resist most of the time and have arrachara, fajitas (sin toritllas) with homemade salsa and crema. Tequila is low carb too! :-)

We just started a keto lifestyle a month ago. And went out for the first time to eat. They had a special appetizer that was sautéed crab claws. So we asked what they were sautéed in and it was just butter, a little wine and spices. Absolutely delicious. Except we never asked the price… $46 was the market price 😂 For the rest of the meal… we each got a salad with grilled shrimp. He got steak and steamed broccoli. I got scallops with asparagus. And we asked for all sauces on the side. I think we did pretty good for our first time out.

That all sounds delicious! Wow that is expensive, I have to admit I’ve never ordered anything that say “market price” next to it on a menu, and now I know why! Lol! -Em

I have ordered a burrito without the tortilla or beans on several occasions at Mexican restaurants. I sometimes get a funny look and one waiter asked me to repeat it to make sure he heard me right. lol But, I know that I am having something I love without as many carbs.
