How to make it keto
Request *without potatoes, rice, or any starchy accompaniments*. Ask for green vegetables cooked simply in butter or olive oil. Confirm no sugary glazes or sauces.
Watch out for
Potatoes, rice, or other starchy sides (if not explicitly omitted). Some preparations might include sweet peppers or other higher-carb vegetables. Marinades or sauces could have hidden sugars.
