I find chinese food is a bit challenging on Atkins. We used to frequent a Chinese buffet in our area - kids loved it...had lots of variety including salads, roast beef, and desserts.

Since on Atkins (8 weeks) we have not eaten there as I was unsure of what to eat, and did not want to be tempted too much (and they have great garlic/sweet spareribs!).

After following this WOE for this long I think I may be able to handle it now, and will consider going back. The salad bar would okay as a first stop...I will need to avoid the dessert and ice cream area and then be very selective for the rest.

They have roast beef, roast salmon, chicken and shrimp skewers, stir fried veggies...those would probably be okay.. I would need to be more careful with the other "chinese" dishes such as the beef and brocolli and chicken chow mein to make sure there is no sugar or starches in the sauces. Also most stuff is high sodium so have to prepare for some water retention the next day???
