Keto friendliness
Adapting Guatemalan cuisine to keto is challenging due to the heavy reliance on corn, rice, and beans, requiring significant meal modification.
Top ingredients
Grilled meats (pollo, res, cerdo), avocado, eggs, and specific vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and chayote are good keto foundations.
Danger zones
Explicitly avoid tortillas, tamales, rice, beans, plantains, fruit-based drinks, and be wary of stews potentially thickened with masa or sugar.
Best for
