Many vegetables and some fruits can still be consumed (though not necessarily much fruit) and maintain a low-carb diet. The other thing to do, or that I did, was to use a variety of spices and herbs. Most add nothing (or very little) with regard to carbs (certainly not the processed sugars low-carb diets aim to avoid) so don't impact the diet overall. And a well-stocked spice cabinet means you can have chicken for a week or even a month and never really have the same meal twice.

The other thing people don't always realize is that the longer you've been on a low carb diet, the more carbs you can eat and stay ketosis.
After 6 months or so, even an entire medium sized apple (19g of sugar) isn't likely to be a problem.
This is even more true for people who work out, heck 40g of sugar from fruit followed by 1 hour of high intensity workout, probably not an issue.
Starting out strict is needed to get on the keto train, but, but a low sugar ice cream with 10g a serving twice a week isn't going to kick most people out of Ketosis if they've been there for awhile.
