Hi, would you mind sharing a few basic things I should buy to start the LCD? Yesterday, I mostly just ate salmon and cheese, as I realized (while checking carb content) that most of my fridge and shelves are full of carbohydrate laden food. I'm going to pick up some groceries today and would appreciate any help given. Thank you so much . Elizabeth Maryam

Check the referenced sticky post at the top of this group. I'm pretty sure @baconslave has some of the main links from previous shopping list suggestions saved there!

We eat a lot of meat, fish, shrimp, eggs and greens!
I sometimes eat cauliflower but prefer spinach and different lettuces/cabbages.
Good luck. I love this way of eating.1 -

Depends on your cooking level. I am a KISS generally.
I think it's better to keep it basic before venturing out on complicated recipes or specialty ingredients (unless you really enjoy cooking as a hobby).
Trader Joe's has pre-riced cauliflower (or you can rice your own, but again, I'm lazy). It's great for stirfrys or even a Spanish rice. Add your preferred meat, check Kirkor's link for best veggies to eat, watch the sugary sauces, and you are eating in minutes!
Eggs for daaaaaaaays!4 -
Thank you both
May I ask what KISS means? Thanks0 -

I used to hate them until I started getting REALLY (perhaps overly?) into guacamole pre-LCHF. Now doing keto, I eat at least one full avocado daily, usually split up over the course of two means. Great in salads and wraps.0
