Question Honeymoon in June

I was hoping maybe some of you fabulous UK ladies could help me....Im on Honeymoon in June in London, Paris, Lucerne, Venice, Florence, and Rome. Since I'll be eating in restaurants most of the time I was wondering if anyone could give me clues on what to order, and still sort of stay on my Atkins related WOE.I know that like everywhere, a lot of dishes have nicknames and I dont want to order something and then realize I can't eat it ( horrors!) Im from California so Im really out of my element here. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Hi Marie, Congratulations on the wedding i would think that you would be pretty safe just ordering any meat along with veggies most of our menu's have a description of what the meal is next to its "title" and you'll probably know which veggies that you can eat already so you should do fine you might need some help in those foreign countries tho' ( like Paris, Italy and Switzerland ) if in doubt ask the waiter what it is

you say zucchini we say courgette
eggplant is aubergine
chips is crisps
fries is chips

Don't think Atkins people eat chips/crisps do they?
