How to stock your kitchen for low carb or keto dieting

Eating a low carb diet doesn’t have to be complicated or hard. It doesn’t have to leave you hungry or longing for anything. But, I have learned you have to be prepared or you will fail miserably when getting a craving or just bored. A friend of mine told me early on if I am always hungry, I have to increase my fat. INCREASE MY FAT!!! I had to say to myself, “You have to figure out how to stock your kitchen for low carb or keto dieting.”

Let me preface this to say, I am not a die-hard, zero tolerance low-carber. I try to keep my carbs between 20-40 carbs a day. I also drink a lot of cherry coke zero and vodka. If you want to tips on how to do this and live, here you go. If you want strict keto guidance, see a professional. I am just a working mom and wife trying to make a leaving, run the kids, and have some fun with my family and friends while trying to figure out how to stock your kitchen for low carb eating.

Let me be honest, this post is just as much for me as it is for all of you! I need to remind myself of what to add to my Amazon subscribe and save and Kroger click list sometimes too.
