More Restaurants Start To Cash In On Low-Carb Craze

WRAL (Raleigh, NC):

They are often debated, but low-carbohydrate diets are more popular than ever. Still, many dieters get bored eating the same type of food every day. In the past, eating out left even fewer options, but restaurants are joining in on the low-carb craze.

More restaurants are fattening their wallets on the low-carb/high protein menus.

Woody Sniffen is a big fan of the Atkins diet and eating out.

"It's convenient and quick," he said. "I've lost like 15 pounds in the past month, month and a half!"

However, even strict carb counters get bored with their choices at restaurants. Eating on the run leaves even fewer options. Sure, you can order a hamburger or chicken sandwich, but you have to take off the bread. More restaurants now cater to low-carb diners. Michael Dean's Wood Over and Bar in Raleigh serves a low-carb lunch menu. Even fast food restaurants like KFC boast carb counts.
