Needless to say, Mexican food tastes great. But
if you are on a Keto diet, you must be wondering
if you should binge on Mexican food or not. In
this blog, I will take you through everything
that you are looking forward to. This blog will
answer your questions like which food to eat at a
Mexican restaurant when on a Keto diet and which
ones to avoid. Which is the best Mexican
restaurant in Hong Kong and so on. So, let us get
started.

Mexican Food To eat
Look for carne asada, fajitas, and chile verde,
that are not soaked in sugary marinades. You can
also have cheese, sour cream, a small amount of
salsa and guacamole with the dish.

What is Keto diet?
The keto diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate,
and adequate-protein diet. This diet is taken to
burn body fat rather than carbohydrates. The
ketogenic diet takes your body into a metabolic
state known as ketosis. This state is achieved
by eating no more than 50 grams of carbs per
day. Mexican food is normally high in
carbohydrates. So, it is better to stick with
meats, sour cream, cheeses, and avoid beans,
chips, and tortillas. There are four types of
keto diets and depending on the type, you can
choose the Mexican dish.

Types of Keto Diet
Standard Keto Diet Targeted Keto Diet Cyclical
Keto Diet High-Protein Keto Diet There are many
other variations too but these four are widely
followed by people. Mexican food cannot just be
high in fat, but can also be high in carbs. Some
Mexican staple food that you can found in almost
every Mexican restaurant include corn, rice,
beans, flour tortillas.

Mexican Food to avoid on Keto?
When you are on a Keto diet, avoid ordering any
of following food at a Mexican restaurant like
rice, tortilla chips, beans, corn, potatoes,
tortillas, and anything sweet. While you place
an order, make sure you keep an intake of
guacamole, salsa, and queso in a very small
amount. Apart from these, people on Keto diet
must also avoid eating flour tortillas. The
tortillas that are labeled as low-carb still
have upwards 19 grams of carbs. Instead of that,
you can savour a lettuce wrap a much better
option.

Corn Tortillas Can Be a Great Choice
Looking at the nutritional value, having a corn
tortilla will be a great choice for those on a
keto diet. But these taste better only when
eaten fresh else these may turn into a substance
hard to eat.

Say Yes to Fajitas
On keto, you can have Fajitas. These are made
with grilled beef, chicken or vegetables as long
as they do not have a sugary marinade or sauce
cooking with them. You can have this with
cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, or even guacamole
in little amount.

Conclusion
Being on a Keto diet does not mean you cannot go
out and try different restaurants. You just need
to know what is right for you and what things
you should avoid. There are a lot of restaurants
in Hong Kong, but if you want all your needs to
be covered, then go nowhere other than to La
Vista, the best Mexican restaurant in Hong Kong.
