#KetoKat is back and sharing everything I know from my experiences on the keto diet.
AND before you come for me, let’s just be upfront and honest here. I am NOT a nutritionist, dietician, or doctor. I am simply someone who has had great success with the keto diet sharing my favorite keto tips, tricks, and shopping lists!
I started the diet 9/9/20 and will be updating this post throughout my journey. Find my weight and results and the very end of this post.
and remember this ->
This means you set the maximum that you can consume per day – typically up to 20 to 30 grams per day for most people. If you go under this number, that’s okay! It’s not a hard goal, just a limit. I highly recommend using the KetoDiet app to create your goals.
This means you want to reach this number each day, so try not to go below the goal. Going over a little bit is also okay, but a large excess in protein might convert to glucose and kick you out of ketosis; how easily this happens varies from person to person.
After your carb limit and protein goal, the remaining calories you need for the day come from fat. This is what keeps you satisfied and provides the majority of your energy source.
You can use fat as a lever, increasing it up or down, based on your goals. Increase it if you’re hungry, decrease it to lose weight, but remember you can’t go too low (don’t get caught in the outdated “fat is bad” trap) since it’s your main energy source.
The only premium meat delivery service – 100% Grass-fed and Grass-finished Beef, Heritage Breed Pork, and Free-range Organic Chicken. If you follow any of my keto tips make it this one! Even if you aren’t on keto, the benefits of grass-fed and grass-finished meats will rock your world.
This is an excellent option for keto pantry items at an excellent discounted price.
Produce
Organic Asparagus
Organic Arugala
Organic Spinach – I buy 3 to 4 bags. Lots of leafy greens are key to keto success!
Shredded Cabbage
Riced Cauliflower
Green Onions
Cut Onions (because I hate chopping them -> but be careful lots of carbs in onions)
Teeny Tiny Avocados
Bok Choy – I am obsessed with bok choy right now! Cook it in coconut amino acids, garlic and butter.
Meat/Fish
Cubed Pancetta
Pork Belly – The boxed fully cooked product is so good.
Chicken Breakfast Sausage
Smoked Ahi Tuna/Salmon
Organic bone broth
Dairy/Deli/Prepared Foods
Kerry Gold – I like to have 3 to 4 on hand at all times.
Heavy Cream – I usually snag two. I use it in my coffee and in almost everything I cook.
Mozzarella Rolloni
Cheddar Snack Pack
Shredded Unexpected Cheddar
Folio Parmesan Cheese Wraps
Cauliflower Thins – These are a new product and a HARD yes. Buy as many as you can get your hands on. I’ve been making keto-friendly Papa John’s breadsticks out of them. Slice them into strips and pop them in the oven to toast. Make a butter/herb mixture. Coat the cauliflower thins in them and reverse plenty for a dipping sauce.
Bacon Cheddar Ranch Dip
Tzatziki
Avocado’s Number Guacamole To Go
Columbus Hard Salami
Frozen
Riced Cauliflower Stirfry
Green Vegetable Foursome
Mashed Cauliflower
Langostino Tails
Shrimp Burgers
Pantry
Kale Chips
Oven-Baked Cheese Bites – Always get the truffle if it is in season!
Chomps Grass-Fed Beef Sticks
Truffle Marcona Almonds – I can clear the entire bag in one sitting! <- Don’t do that! Snag a couple for an afternoon snack
Giardiniera
Pitted Salted Manzanilla Olives – Keep this in your bag at all times! The perfect keto snack.

The fringe trend has been all over the catwalks since last year. Nearly every designer added fringe to their collections, whether on jackets, dresses, or handbags. Fringe and cowboy boots were a big trend and are still popular this fall. We’ve seen the Wild West theme not only during Fashion Week and on Instagram but also in the streets <- insert me swaying around Jackson Hole all week in my vintage suede jacket.
The most obvious way to wear fringe is on a suede jacket, paired with jeans and cowboy boots ->
Watch Toy Story 3 if you need some inspiration for your western look.
But you can find fringe jackets in the most varied styles and materials; leather, denim, wool, embellished with studs or logos, you name it <- and I’ve linked them all below.
Second-hand shops are excellent places to get vintage and previously-owned designer jackets.
I snagged my jacket at Womenfolk Jackson Hole -> a collection of timeless, quality vintage and designer consignment clothing sourced and curated in Jackon Hole, Wyoming. If you come to Jackson Hole, this shop is a MUST!
Linking and answering all your Gucci Black GG Tights + CHLOÉ Betty rubber boots questions at the end of this post
The last time I wore a fringe denim jacket was for Outside Lands 2016, and THANK GOD it is still hanging in my closet! This jacket was impossible to find the summer of 2016 and by some act of God, my mom got her hands on an xs the week before my birthday and Outside Lands… I wonder if it still fits?!
And now look at us, here we are. It’s time to shop for outerwear, I’m was already fringe obsessed, but my trip to Wyoming made me want to scream it from the Tetons. I guess that’s mostly because it is a huge part of the street style here and everyone is making it look so cool and appealing.
If you invest in any of the current options — I’m particularly fond of this Stella McCartney splurge, Topshop’s ecru faux fringe dream, and the Danielle Bernstein x Macy’s, Faux-Suede Fringe Jacket, — you’ll be really making a statement. So much so that the rest of your outfit accouterments will barely require any attention at all. I see no better reason to hop on the bandwagon.
