Keto friendliness
Paraguayan cuisine is challenging for keto due to its heavy reliance on corn, mandioca, and starches in almost all traditional dishes.
Top ingredients
Grilled meats like beef, pork, and chicken (asado/parrillada) are excellent keto choices, alongside fresh simple salads and cheese.
Danger zones
Sopa Paraguaya, chipa, mandioca (cassava) served boiled or fried, and any breaded items (milanesa, empanadas) are high-carb traps.
Best for
This cuisine is best for experienced keto dieters who are skilled at deconstructing meals and comfortable with very limited traditional options.
