I don’t have the money or time to go “full keto” or anything.
FWIW it’s still possible to me you could do it with your constraints. When I went “full keto” and lost a bunch of weight, I ate mainly these sausages, these pecans, and cheese strings, (also a lot of these pork-crisps) and that’s a lot of calories for a little food. I don’t know if it’s in your budget, or tolerance for repetitive food.
Is there much more to it than sticking below 10-20g of carbs per day (not counting fiber)? If I recall correctly the recommended amount of fat-to-protein-to-carbs is 8:4:1.
(Personally I am genetically lucky (plus a big guy) so I stay in ketosis up to 40g of carbs.)
The only other obvious note is that often you get flu symptoms for a few days as you enter ketosis, which will be within about a week of you going under ~10g/day.
The biggest change to my diet isn’t actually the cutting carbs, it’s the focus on eating legible foods (i.e. foods where I can read the macronutrients off the box), so I have to turn down most random foods people offer me in favor of my from-home foods.
Added: The online source I learned the most from was the wikipedia page.

That’s helpful, thank you.
Do you know a trustworthy and concise source about how to Keto? The time to find a non-terrible guide via google sucks.
