Barbeque joints are plentiful all over the country. My husband and I could pretty much drive anywhere and eat at nothing but burger or barbeque places… and pretty much do! They are an awesome place to go when low carbing it.
What you have to be careful of at barbeque places is the sugar in the sauces and the sides. I’ve also had to walk out of barbecue places because they have NO sides that I could have.
You can get any barbecue but make sure you ask for sauce on the side. Then I’m usually looking for a low sugar coleslaw, green beans or a salad. If they have any of those, I’m happy.
Don’t get me wrong. This sounds easy… but it is HARD to not eat the fries, baked potatoes and banana or bread puddings… or my achilles heel… peach cobbler! It gets easier day by day, but if I can do it… I KNOW you can do it!
Simply remember the rule of thumb… basically, leave off the breads, breading, potatoes, onions, high carb fruits and veggies and desserts. Get lettuce wrapped double meat proteins (if they aren’t on a bone) or have proteins on top of the salads. Beware of hidden salad carbs, especially in croutons and sugars in dressings or toppings! If you follow this rule of thumb you can find quite a lot to eat.
Also, I know there is a bun in the picture, until I put in a picture of a plate I’ve had. Just a place holder for now!
