Keto friendliness
Adapting Bosnian/Herzegovinian cuisine to keto requires constant vigilance and significant modification of traditional dishes.
Top ingredients
Excellent traditional keto ingredients include various grilled and roasted meats (beef, lamb, veal, chicken), kajmak, fresh cheeses, and simple salads.
Danger zones
The biggest carb traps are ubiquitous bread (somun), pastry dishes (burek, pita), rice (sarma), potatoes (stews, musaka), and bean-based dishes.
Best for
This cuisine works best for adaptable keto dieters comfortable with ordering plain grilled meats or stews and explicitly requesting no bread or starchy sides.
