Top ingredients
Lamb, beef, chicken, fish, olive oil, eggs, olives, and select non-starchy vegetables like eggplant and peppers are generally keto-friendly.
Danger zones
Bazin, couscous, all types of bread, rice, potatoes, carrots, chickpeas, fava beans, and sugary drinks or desserts are pervasive and primary carb sources to avoid.
Best for
This cuisine is best for highly disciplined keto dieters comfortable with severe meal deconstruction, constant questioning, and focusing solely on isolated meat and fat components.
