I have been on a low carb diet for over a year now, and I have a handful of nuts. Almonds, cashews, whatever.
They have an acceptable amount of carbs in them and make you feel full enough to make it to the next meal.
The biggest issue is the expense, I spend about $20-30 a fortnight on nuts alone.

- shiftb 12y agoI'm not sure why you got downvoted, other than people might not understand what fat bombs are and think you're making an unconstructive joke. Fat bombs are just a general term for hight-fat snacks, which are completely acceptable on a keto diet. The high fat content also increases satiety. http://dietketo.com/keto-food/fat-bombs/ http://dietketo.com/keto-food/fat-bombs/
- buss 12y agoTrue, nuts were a good choice. Unfortunately the cashews and almonds supplied at my office were all unsalted and I couldn't be bothered to buy my own for the brief trial.
- kibibu 12y agoMan, unsalted cashews are delicious! Try getting used to the lack of salt.
- sb23 12y agoI only ever choose unsalted. It's actually really frustrating - my supermarket sells unsalted bags of cashews for $2 more than the salted bags.
- MisterBastahrd 12y agoWhen I temporarily went off keto, one of the first things I did was to buy one of those huge containers of salted mixed nuts from Costco. I gorged on the entire thing for three days and my mouth hated me for the next week. I thought I had suddenly come down with bad toothaches. Nope, I just burned all the skin off my upper mouth and gums from excess salt consumption.
- gdilla 12y agoYou might like sunflower seeds. Salted and husked - $3 a bag and they last a long time. THey have fibre and good fat, taste good but not so good that you over eat.
