Where are the best sites to get a customized food plan or what sites do you guys use?

I want to start keto but i want to do it right.
If you have experienced the diet for a while share your journey.

If you want to do it right, take a few weeks or months learning about the diet before you try to implement it. If not done correctly, you can run into a lot of issues, like; keto flu, cramping, fatigue, etc.. Most of these are electrolyte imbalances, but some can be caused by not being able to adapt to fat very well.

In general terms, keeping carbs below 50g, having moderate protein (~1.5-2.2g/lb or 20-30% of your calories) and adequate sodium (over 3500mg) is a good place to start. Depending on your activity level, you may need more than that for sodium and you may be able to tolerate more carbs (especially endurance athletes).

The biggest question you will have to find out is whether or not keto can suppress your appetite and whether or not you find it sustainable.

The dietdoctor site has some information for free, and then asks you to pay for more information.

There is an app called carb manager that is geared towards keto.

I tend to go to books:
The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living
Keto Clarity
Ketogenic Bible
Eat Rich, Live Long
Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution
Obesity Code (includes fasting)

The blogs I like are:
Peter Attia
Diagnosis Nutrition
Amy Berg's
Sam Feltham
Dave Feldman's
Ivor Cummings

My keto goal was to drop sugars, refined carbs, and really limit starchy root vegetables and fruit. That left meat, seafood, eggs, dairy, vegetables, coconut, olives, vegetables, berries, nuts and seeds.

Over the last year, I dropped more food and am mostly down to meats, eggs, seafood and dairy.

If you join the Low Carb Group, they have a bunch of information assembled together. I've been working my way through all the links.
