I have spent endless hours searching for food suppliers to purchase the food for the non-profit campground that I help run through the summer. I have learned that all pricing is different from supplier to supplier and so is the quality of the food that they offer. It has taken a very long time for me to learn what to get from a big food supplier and when to purchase things from a smaller supplier. To learn my methods of ordering food on a very tight budget for hundreds of people, visit my website. There, you will find a breakdown of my supplies and the suppliers that I use to get what I need each summer.
Anytime you start a diet it is a good idea to stock up on the essential foods that you plan on eating. You do not want to be caught off guard without something healthy to eat and end up snacking on something unhealthy. If you are planning on going on a keto diet, then it is especially important to make a list of foods to have on hand. With a keto diet, you have to have on hand foods that are low in carbs. So, it will be important to stock up on high-fat and high-protein foods that you will be able to eat.
A unique challenge of following a specific diet during the Covid-19 quarantine is that you will not be able to make regular visits to grocery stores for fresh foods. So, this list will cover keto-friendly food supplies that you can store for weeks if necessary without fear of spoilage. So, in lieu of eggs and avocados, here are some keto-friendly suggestions to consider.
Grass-Fed Beef Jerky
An excellent source of protein that will also last a long time is jerky. Beef jerky was designed to be stored on long trips. It's a form of preserving meat so that it does not spoil. What you want to be careful about when buying beef jerky is to avoid the ones made with lots of sugar or those made with inferior quality meat. The nice thing about keto diets becoming so popular is that there are many companies that make healthy jerky with grass-fed beef and not too much sugar.
Protein Powder
In addition to jerky, you should also have protein powder on hand. It will last for a really long time without spoiling. You can get protein powder made from whey, which is a product of milk. Or you can choose a vegan alternative such as soy or vegetable protein powder. It can be difficult to get enough protein on a keto diet, so adding a protein drink to your diet is a great way to improve your protein intake.
Coconut Oil
Fats are an important part of a keto diet. And one of the best fats you can get is coconut oil. It can be used in salad dressings, to grill chicken, or even to make desserts. You should make sure that you choose a coconut oil that is designed for consumption as certain coconut oils are sold for cosmetic purposes.
Canned Tuna Fish
It can be boring to eat nothing but jerky and protein powder, so what you will want to do is add some real food. One perfect food you can buy is canned tuna fish. Canned tuna fish can be an extremely versatile food. You can find a variety of tuna recipes online, and many of them will be low carb. So, order a large supply of canned tuna from a reputable food supplier and then look up some healthy, keto-friendly recipes.
