hi everyone, i was hoping for suggestions on what to order at an italian restaurant. i gave up carbs, and am at a loss of ideas for this wonderful cuisine!!!:bored:

I still eat carbs so don't have lots of ideas. However most italian restaurants normally have some kind of veal and chicken dishes which you could probably try.

How about an antipasto platter? YUM! Soup and a salad? Some type of mixed grill (a small variety of grilled meats)? The higher-end italian restaurants will have lots of grilled meat and potato options.

HTH,

Amy

Yes, I am off the pasta, rice and bread, so going italian is hard. I am not totally off carbs by any means, but I don't want to risk gummy foods. Usually they have salad bars and usually they have chicken Parmesan or sausage options. Most of them had kid's meals that include chicken nuggets. My stomach is not tolerating salad at all, so I pretty much don't go italian.

thanks for the responses, i too cannot eat salads anymore. i am supposed to stay away from the carbs and fill up on protein. so, i will try the veal parmesan and just pick and move around the pasta that comes with it!! eating meat it something new to me. i'm doing the exact opposite of the way i ate my whole life! i used to eat the soup,(slider food now) salad,(doesn't go down now) and of course many many breadsticks(would get stuck now)!!! thanks to you all!lisa6:tt2:
