Keto friendliness
Adapting Lithuanian cuisine to keto is extremely difficult due to the pervasive use of high-carb staples in traditional dishes.
Top ingredients
Smoked and cured meats like skilandis, fatty pork cuts, sour cream, and some traditional cheeses are excellent keto components.
Danger zones
Potatoes in all forms (cepelinai, kugelis, bulviniai blynai), rye bread, kasha, and beet-based soups are primary carb traps.
Best for
This cuisine works best for a highly disciplined keto dieter adept at custom ordering and focusing solely on isolated meat and fat components.
