At Italian: veal saltimbacca (sp), a few chicken dishes I believe
At Mexican (Tex): Fajitas without the tortillas, or no-bean taco
salad leaving the shell behind, and there are usually a couple of no-
tortilla meat dishes
At Chinese: most of it except rice and noodles (no-MSG preferred)
At Indian: lamb stew, skip the bread
At Japanese: various seafoods (I *think* there are also some dim
sum without many starches, been too long and I can't remember
now what all was on the dim sum menus)
Seafood & steak restaurants: the mind boggles :-) (try to ignore
that baked potato)

most restaurants: nonbattered seafoods, steaks and salads (and if
you say you're allergic to whichever side dish they include, you
may be able to finagle a veggie substitute).

At fast food restaurants if you just can't drive past it <grin> and
you're starving to death and there's nothing else open: quarter-
pounder with bacon, remove the bun, and their rather anemic
salads with no dressing

(let me know if anything I've listed doesn't qualify, I have the book
now, but I'm only up to page 43, most of these ideas come from
general lo-carbing)
