I've been on keto for a long time. I've always been pressed for time myself and resorted to very expensive food delivery as an alternative (on keto, food delivery - especially in queens - means ordering sub par food in too small portions because the portions include rice or other carbs as filler. then you end up doubling your portion, adding delivery tip...could be a $30 shitty dinner)

I've thought about the home cook route but all the professional ones are absurdly expensive. This is a nice way to do it.

However I recently got a sous vide machine which seems like the answer to my problems. It's extremely hard to screw something up when it's cooked sous vide and it's almost always delicious. It's a worthwhile investment

Shameless plug - keto meal kit delivery service: https://ketocargo.com

A bit cheaper and more pragmatic than most delivery services, specifically for keto.

Yeah, I have a sous vide as well and completely agree. I like it for cooking things like steak and chicken, but it doesn't really help me much with side dishes or desserts.

Sides can be extremely easy to cook though. Broccoli only needs to be steamed for a few minutes. I know the post of the original article is on keto, but rice can be thrown in a rice cooker and is ready automatically ~20 minutes later. Sweet potatoes can be thrown in an oven for 30 minutes.

Sides should be very simple and fast to create.

sous vide cheesecake is a great start if you are interested in desserts
