Traditional keto-friendly ingredients include various preparations of herring, salmon, cod, pork, beef, and certain cheeses.
Danger zones
Major carb traps include smørrebrød (rye bread base), potatoes (boiled, roasted, mashed), flour-thickened gravies and sauces, sugary pickled items, and pervasive pastries.
Best for
This cuisine is best for highly disciplined keto dieters comfortable with extensive modification requests or strictly adhering to basic grilled meats and fish.
