Keto lives and dies at the supermarket. The diet is simple — fat and protein in, carbs out — but the trolley is a minefield of hidden sugars, and one hungry unplanned shop can undo a fortnight of ketosis. The people who stay keto long-term shop from a list, always.
This is that list: the full keto staples run from eggs, meat and fish through cheeses, oils, nuts, low-carb vegetables and the baking substitutes like almond flour. Fifty-plus items strong, so the pantry supports the diet instead of sabotaging it. Tick your way around the store perimeter and skip the aisles entirely.
How the ABC app works with this list
A — say it. Tap the mic and add anything this list is missing — "almond flour" — and it's saved. B — tick it. Check each item off as it goes in the bag or the trolley. C — sorted. The list keeps itself; close the app, it's still there next time. It works offline, and your list lives on your phone, not on our servers.
