You know what the worst thing about keto is?
Seeing what's in people's shopping carts at the supermarket and making a correlation to their appearance.
I have yet to see a very fat person with something other than what looks like a 1 month supply of a totally out of control cheat day.
Me and my wife have came up with a terrible game of 'guess the cart'.
Please tell me we're not alone.

I live in AZ so we have Safeway and Fry's (Kroger). This also means they use the points system for gas rewards. Since gas is something that I see as a necessary evil ( I have kids and they need to get to sports etc) then I figure I might as well figure out the gas rewards system to save some $$ while buying my food.
Anyway. My cart ends up looking like a butcher shop sale gone wrong. I have all the keto foods and then some stuff for the kids. People must think I am a mixture of a psycho butcher lover and a cereal binge eater. Plus the cart is over the top full when I leave since weekends are double points I tend to buy as much as I can at once. Also I get plenty of gift cards to McDonalds... Sounds horrible, but at 4x points and the kids love the nugs the wife and I can get a burger sans bun and feel ok about it.
Sorry that was Fry's Food. Safeway does this thing where you get 20cents off a gallon if you spend $20. They do it ever week or so. So I go in and buy $20 worth of frozen raw tuna steaks. Those things are awesome just raw (thawed) or just seared. At about $5 each I can only imagine what people think when they see me at the checkout with 4-5 of those bad boys freezing my arms off.

Dude, that's a funny image.. but in truth, sounds like you're doing keto ( or maybe zero carb ) the right way!
