Keto German foods
Keto German Foods refer to traditional German dishes that have been modified to fit the low-carbohydrate, high-fat ketogenic dietary guidelines. These dishes emphasize healthy fats, moderate protein, and minimal carbohydrates while retaining the essence of German cuisine.
Introduction[edit | edit source]
German cuisine is traditionally rich in breads, potatoes, and beers. However, when adapting to a ketogenic lifestyle, many of these staples must be modified or replaced with low-carb alternatives.
