Request all grilled meats without any marinades containing sugar. Explicitly omit rice, farofa (toasted cassava flour), pão de alho (garlic bread), and fries. Ask for a plain green salad with olive oil and vinegar dressing on the side, or a side of sautéed non-starchy vegetables (e.g., broccoli, green beans).
