Keto friendliness
Colombian cuisine is highly challenging for keto dieters due to its foundational reliance on high-carb staples.
Top ingredients
Excellent traditional keto ingredients include various meats (beef, chicken, pork belly/chicharrón), eggs, avocado, and limited cheeses.
Danger zones
Arepas, empanadas, rice, potatoes (papas), plantains (plátanos), yuca, and most traditional soups or stews are unavoidable carb traps in authentic meals.
Best for
This cuisine works best for highly disciplined keto dieters who are comfortable with extreme customization, deconstructing dishes, and primarily ordering plain meats or salads.
