Any chance of another sticky for this section?

I've seen a lot of posts where people are asking about what to do when they are caught out in a restaurant and they don't know what to order. Maybe they're on holiday or have gone out with people from work to a place they don't normally eat.
The other brilliant sticky in this section is great for if you're planning going to a specific restaurant but what if we are not prepared and we cannot remember all the information.
Perhaps a sticky that is a general rule of thumb. It could be you think it's a waste of time and teaching people to suck eggs but maybe not - wadda ya think?
Eg

When choosing a restaurant -avoid Taco bell like the plague

In an Italian:
Pizza - scrape off and just eat the topping (not pretty I know, but hey we've gotta stay low carb)
Choose antipasto

In a burger restaurant - avoid sauce/relish and remove bun

I'm sure Dr Atkins had this sort of thing in his book..

It's in the book: chapter 19 "Eating in the Real World". There's a subsection called "Making Fast Food Friendly".

The best thing I did when I was on Induction (because that's the phase where most people don't know how to eat at home or outside) was to keep a copy of the Induction Acceptable Foods List and the Rules of Induction with me at all times. That way, if I was at a restaurant or the supermarket and I didn't know if hummus was legal, I could look it up and see.

Thanks, I thought that it was in the book but I gave it away - wish I hadn't now. I've been meaning to buy another copy and there's one in the local charity shop...
