Keto: What are you getting at the grocery store?

Cauliflower rice with Asian sauces for a chicken stir fry type deal is something I like that is like 10-15 net carbs.

these are available at costco and they're awesome.

Bacon, eggs, steaks, salami, pepperoni, and chicken breasts.

Oh, avacodos and pork rinds.

This pretty much covers me for the week, for all three meals. Throw in shrimp and smoked sausage on the weekends.

I'm typically in pretty good shape due to mountain biking, but work and beer fricked me up this past year. Loving doing Keto now though. Still cheat with beer two or three times week, but I'm not really overly concerned about it. Down 13 lbs in 3 weeks.

I do a modified version for when I'm going to ride 15+ miles. I'll carb load (50-60g) the night before, if I'm going on a morning ride. If I don't, I hit the wall about mile 12.

Oh, I drink water (around 200oz a day) and beer. Miller lite 3.2 carbs per 12oz. I know, it interrupts ketosis anyway...

My body seems to metabolize alcohol fairly quick. According to my strips, the only time I've been kicked out of ketosis was after drinking IPAs all night.

GOAT store bought sauce, and all low carb

For me, it's ground beef. Usually 88% from Costco or 90% from Sams.

Whenever I see a good cut of meat on sale suitable for beef jerky (sirloin tip, flank, eye of round etc) I buy 2-3 lbs and make a batch.

Chicken Breast and chicken thighs. Usually buy boneless breast and both bone-in and boneless thighs,

Costco bacon. Eggs from wherever.
Joseph's Pitas.
Tumaro's Wraps if I can find them, otherwise LA Tortilla factory low carb tortillas

Halloumi Cheese bricks from Restaurant Depot. ~$4 for the same pack thats $11 at Whole Foods. Just cube up and pan fry.

Asparagus is my main vegetable, also mix in broccoli.

Trader Joe's riced cauliflower

Condiments:
G Hughes Sugar Free BBQ Sauce. Mustard. Buffalo Sauce. Hot sauce

Just get heavy cream.

Creatine, MCT Oil, Niacin, ZMA's, Fish Oil

You don't need any of this.

What's the problem with MiO water enhancers? The ones I look for either have electrolytes or caffeine.

I rarely drink milk since starting keto, and by drink I mean I'll add it to my eggs to whisk better when making omelettes or what have you.

How do you incorporate heavy cream into your keto? Coffee? Whip it into a dessert? I would make alfredo if I could find some keto friendly pasta that doesn't taste like shite. Just trying to get some ideas since it's never been a component of any of my diets previously.

Creatine might be a placebo at this point but it's cheap enough to where I don't care.
MCT oil is something I've heard strong advocacy for by almost everyone I've discussed the keto diet with.
Niacin helps me sweat more during workouts and sometimes I'll take it before bed to get to sleep faster.
Got a free sample ZMAs and noticed a difference in my sleep, especially when I'm exhausted from working out the day before and need to wake up early but still feel the benefits of a good night's sleep.
What's wrong with fish oil? I don't get enough omega-3 fatty acids aside from eggs so it makes sense to me to supplement this.

Restaurant Depot is the cheapest place to get them ($2.19-2.50/lb).

The Costco macadamia nuts are a near-perfect food.
