5 delicious dishes to try at this new health-focused Vancouver restaurant

Eating out or ordering in is a familiar luxury. It’s a form of self-care and a way to save yourself some necessary time from the constant grocery shopping, planning, and meal prepping that cooking entails.

But often one of the largest downsides to eating out is the hit it can take on your health. However, this is not the case with the new Vancouver spot Sugarless.Cafe — quite the opposite, actually.

This health-focused restaurant is low-carb, keto-friendly, and was founded by Clint Cheng — a certified health coach with diabetes who managed to wean himself off medication for good by adjusting his diet. They specialize in freshly prepared meal plans that change each week (so you never get bored) and help customers control their blood sugar and improve their overall health.

So in the spirit of health, wellness, and always being excited by a new restaurant to try, we’ve rounded up the top five dishes we’d like to try from the local health spot.
