Here is 's quote. For one thing, the Atkins diet allows far too many saturated fats and does not distinquish sufficiently between the good fats, for example olive oil and the Omega3 oils, and the result can lead to serious artery complications.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Even though I think most low carb diets go way to far in limiting carbs, I'm appreciating what they are doing to the fast/convience food industry. Now if we can just get them to cut down on the fat at the same time things might get healthy. Subway will make any sandwich a wrap, not just the two bacon filled Atkins ones they advertise.

I didn't think of that. I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and am getting use to the diabetes diet. Thank you very much for the information.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 You can get a good low carb meal at any restaurant. Just ask for substitutions - have a salad or cottage cheese instead of fries or other potatoes. Some restuarants like Perkins offers a choice of two sides with an entree. Just pick two that are on your eating plan. If you want a burger, ask for it on whole wheat bread instead of a bun... or if need be, no bread or bun at all. Other than fast food restaurants, almost all places will be happy to substitute side dishes. If not, just don't eat what comes with it, or have them hold the things high in carbs altogether. > Are there any other restaurants that offer options for a diabetic besides Subway?

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 There is a Friday's restaurant here as I said earlier, but not sure of the TGIF one. It was years ago that I went there. It is a huge restaurant with music and plenty of great food to choose from.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 " TGI Friday's " is a national chain of casual dining restaurants, not unlike Applebees. I've not tried their 'low carb' or 'Atkins' menu, but the last time we went to one--before they had introduced it, but it was probably 'in development'--we explained to my server that we were diabetic and couldn't eat potatoes. He allowed me to substitute steamed broccoli for the baked potato, and my father to have carrot sticks and celery in place of his French (excuse me, 'Freedom') fries. Re: Re: Re Low Carb Diets Subways does have a new Atkins Wrap. I havent tried it though. TGIF sounds familir. I wonder If there is one here. There is a Friday's restaurant and I am sure they have low carb menus, after all, it is a meaty restaurant as are them steak houses and steak and Ales places. They have so much steaks, seafoods, and poutry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 No need to even explain that you're diabetic. With all of the low carb eaters right now, most restaurants will happily substitute veggies for potatoes. We were with a large group of people for dinner last night and the server never batted an eye when asked for substitutions of any kind. > Aside from 'fast food' places, if you explain to your server that you > are diabetic they will generally be happy to accomodate you, e.g. by > substituting steamed broccoli or cauliflower for the baked potatoes. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Perhaps not. However, mentioning my diabetes is--and this is just IMHO/YMMV--a shorthand way of saying, " I understand that I'm making a difficult job harder, but I do have a good reason for asking for substitutions.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I find that by mentioning that I am a diabetic they will bend over backwards to find what I need and to substitute things. I am not ashamed of being Diabetic. Helen Re: Re Low Carb Diets No need to even explain that you're diabetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I'm not ashamed of it either, Helen. I was simply saying that restaurants are very good about making substitutions without needing a reason to do so. I thought this was going to be a support group. I've never seen so much arguing and carrying on. So many blanket statements that shouldn't be made. So much jumping on each other. Can't we leave our egos behind and stop this crap? We all have an illness that isn't going to go away. We ALL live with it daily. We ALL have different things we can and can't eat. And we ALL have different people we trust to help us through it, be they doctors, education nurses, nutritionists, professors, authors, spouses or just those we love. There are going to be as many different opinions among them as there are things to disagree on. Let's agree that we can all disagree, but that we don't have to shove each others beliefs down everyone else's throats, ok? Support each other for goodness sake. From what I understood when I joined this group, that's what it's all about. There's enough stress in the rest of our lives. Can't we leave it at the door when we come in here????? > I find that by mentioning that I am a diabetic they will bend over backwards to find what I need and to substitute things.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I agree with you completely and we should support each other and no two people will agree on everything.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I have enough friends in the restaurant business to know that theirs is a difficult, stressful line of work; a fussy, picky customer who asks about the ingredients and methods of preparation and wants to make substitutions doesn't make it any easier; I mention to the server that I'm diabetic to let them know that I'm not asking for substitutions just to be difficult, but rather because I have a good reason.
