Are there any packaged meals or general meals to start the keto diet? Usually most diets tell you what you can't eat, but I just want to be able to buy certain products that are certified keto. Where should I start if I just want to buy products by name and not have to worry about looking stuff up?

Just eat whole foods, nothing in a package with 10s of ingredients. Just eat meet, eggs, dairy and veggies and seafood. It's not that complicated.

You shouldn't start off with or regularly eat ready made meals if you're doing keto. Too many of them lie about their carb content. Plus, its just a bad foundation to build upon.
Do "dirty keto" and buy premade stuff only once in a while. Go do some groceries and make your own meals most of the time. Its really not that difficult.
Like, for the past week, for lunch I was doing 100g shredded cabbage with 30g Thousand Island dressing, 100g cucumber, 1 boiled egg, and 200g of sauteed chicken with 50g of spinach.
Thats 485 calories, 11g of carbs.
For dinner I was doing a stir-fry of 200g of pork loin, 2 slices of bacon, 100g of bell peppers, 50g of broccoli, and 1 avocado. Sauced it up with a mix of 10ml of soy sauce, 15g of sriracha, 10g of freshly squeezed orange juice, and 5g of a zero calorie/zero carb sweetner.
Thats 935 calories, 14g of carbs.
Totals out to 1420calories, 25g of carbs. And it keeps my fat ass full all day. I change up the seasoning of lunch's chicken and the stir fry every day, so it doesn't get boring and samey. Curry powder, chilli powder, miso paste, peanut butter, shit ton of black pepper, whatever.
Low effort, filling meals is the key.
Go get an app that tracks nutrition, so you can build meals that keep your carb count where you want it. I use cronometer.com. And make some meals for yourself. If you rely on packaged meals and ready made shit, you're basically setting yourself up for failure sooner or later.

>Start Keto Diet
Don't. First of all, what most people call "keto" is actually just low carb. True keto is like 80% fat, animal and/or plant. Second, for weight loss, especially healthy weight loss, fat is not optimal. It lacks nutrients, has a low energy cost of digestion (0-3%) and is not very satiating.What you SHOULD do is a high protein, low carb and fat diet. What's great about protein (e.g. meat and other animal products) is not only does it cover your ass nutrient-wise, but you burn about of a third of it during digestion. It's also extremely satiating with an almost immediate and long lasting effect.Basically concentrate on meat, eggs, cruciferous vegetables, spices. Quark (or equivalent) is also excellent for sauces, or desserts (I mix it with protein powder and sweetener with a dash of konjak for thickening).
