Once you start keto, your grocery shopping trips will probably look different. You’ll want to buy plenty of meat, produce, and dairy, but you may also want to spice up your meal planning. I wrote this post to be a starting point and reference for people who are confused about keto grocery shopping or don’t know where to start. It’s also not a be-all-end-all, and you probably won’t stay on track with keto if these foods are all you eat.
We live in Georgia, so this list will be regional to what is available in our area. Most grocery stores’ private labels also have keto-friendly brands. A lot of these brands aren’t zero carbs or zero net carbs. But this list is what I would call keto “friendly.” They are the lowest net carb options I found for the products available. Be sure to check the nutritional information of each product as different flavors have varying level of carbs.
