Keto friendliness
Dominican cuisine is inherently carb-heavy and requires significant modification, making it difficult to maintain ketosis with traditional meals.
Top ingredients
Excellent traditional keto ingredients include roasted or stewed meats (chicken, beef, pork), fish, shrimp, eggs, avocado, and some cheeses like queso frito.
Danger zones
The biggest carb traps are rice, beans, plantains, yuca, root vegetables, mofongo, mangú, sugary beverages, and stews often thickened with starches or containing hidden sugars.
Best for
This cuisine works best for extremely disciplined keto dieters who are adept at dissecting menus, making specific requests, and willing to forgo most traditional side dishes.
