- Most places will serve burgers and other sandwiches without bun/bread/sauces if you ask — whether or not this is mentioned on the menu. I get naked burgers all the time!
- There are usually clean salad options. Salmon is a personal favorite as it is more likely to be wild/natural than unspecified chicken, beef, etc. Remember to omit cheese and croutons which are often standard. To avoid questionable ingredients in dressings you can ask for a lemon wedge and/or olive oil instead, omit entirely, or in many cases opt for a simple vinaigrette (but be aware that many are made with soy or canola oil rather than olive.)
- You can generally request a side of vegetables instead of potatoes or rice. It will likely be uninspired and mushy, but then so would the potatoes or rice. 🙂
- Give the manager or chef at your favorite restaurant a copy of Paleo for Restaurants. It offers simple ideas and resources for becoming more paleo-friendly.
