8. Learn Low-Budget Ketogenic Dieting

The ketogenic diet can seem intimidating and expensive with its emphasis on high-fat foods like avocados, nuts, grass-fed meats etc. However, I found ways to follow keto on a tight budget.

Meat, eggs, frozen vegetables, and dairy like cheese and butter formed the backbone of my meal plan. Canned tuna and salmon are inexpensive sources of heart-healthy fats. Buy fatty cuts of meat when possible. Roasting a whole chicken provides both meat and broth for multiple meals.

I took advantage of sales and bulk purchases of keto pantry staples like olive oil, coconut oil, spices, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Meal prepping helped reduce food waste. Following keto does not have to be cost-prohibitive. Get creative with cheap sources of protein and healthy fats.
