How to make it keto
Confirm with the restaurant that the sausages do not contain significant fillers like rice or breadcrumbs. Request the sausages to be grilled or pan-fried. Strictly omit all carb-heavy sides such as rice, beans, tortillas, or potatoes (e.g., 'revolcado'). Ask for a simple green salad with oil and vinegar.
Watch out for
