    Hey
    There are going to be plenty of dishes you can eat..but you'll probably have to request most without couscous.
    There are a lot of roasted meat and vegetable dishes.. but some of these are going to have fruit and nuts. Not sure if you are in OWL but you'll need to watch for raisins and fruit sauces on some things.
    Mechoui is a tasty lamb dish that should be all right and there is some soup that should be ok too and is really hearty.

        OMG, There was a restaurant in Los Angeles on the Strip and it had the Best Moroccan, Be suspicious of gravies and sauces and ask the waiter/ess what is good.

          OK. So I went. Ordered the lamb shish taouk sandwich with salad. Took off the pita bread and voila!!! IT WAS delicious!!! I am thrilled I didn't cheat...although the couscous looked really good I didn't miss it and the tabouly either!

              Well done!!
              Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
              Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
