   available makes it easier to prepare healthy meals. Keep your pantry stocked
   with items like low-carb vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini), lean
   protein sources (chicken, fish, eggs), healthy fats (avocado, olive oil), and
   low-carb snacks (nuts, seeds, cheese).
 * Read Food Labels Carefully: Pay attention to the carbohydrate content when
   buying packaged foods. Look for products labeled as “low-carb” or
   “keto-friendly.”
 * Plan Your Meals: Planning your meals in advance can help you stay on track
   with your low-carb goals. This way, you’ll be less likely to resort to
   unhealthy choices when hunger strikes.
 * Find a Support System: Let friends and family know about your low-carb
   journey. Having a support system can be incredibly helpful, especially when
   navigating social gatherings or overcoming cravings.
