I really relate to this, as this has been my approach over the past several years. My first rule: keep it simple. Don't get into exotic "keto" recipes, hey, we're eating whole nutritious foods, and I don't want to add complexity to my simple lifestyle. My second rule: don't sweat occasional deviations when certain family, friends or business situations come up and don't always mesh with my WOE. As I'm fat adapted, I can choose to eat or not, choose to eat certain things or not, and I never apologize for not trying dessert, particularly when those serving it know I'm low carb. I don't do sweets, period.

Great advice, and this is exactly what I do. I was in my local Wegman's the other day, and thought about getting enough food for the coming week before I realized that I didn't know what I'd be eating within one day let alone over a whole week. So, I bought what I wanted for the next 24 hours. This way, I can make quick trips to good stores and buy what's fresh at a good price.

Excellent observations for making it all work.
