Basically what /u/mathematical said. Keto isn't some "special" meals. Think Bacon, then add Bacon. Now give yourself a nice side of Bacon. Did I mention Bacon? I'm joking but not really. A sample of what I was eating:
Breakfast: 4 pieces of bacon and some scrambled eggs (with thickened cream instead of milk), and some halloumi (not necessary, more just to increase fat).
Lunch / Dinner: Make things in bulk for dinner and freeze for the next day or twos lunch. We cooked a lot of chicken cordon bleu bake with broccoli or cauliflower and beens.
Oh a lot of red meat as well is good w/ fat.
Basically you're eliminating, breads, rice, anything with sugar and replacing with high fat. The easiest way to explain Keto is that you are reducing your carb intake as your body will break down carbs before fat. Increasing fat intake and lowering carbs will mean fat is burned faster.
It's an interesting lifestyle change. I went from 340 to 264 in 6 months. A lot of that (like 30-40 went within a few weeks due to water weight). You're not eating special, you're just eating smart. Also keep almonds handy and drink a lot of water when you are hungry. You'll get to a point where you'll be like.. meh eating, but you should keep your energy up so don't really ignore food.
Edit: Check out Caveman Keto for somewhat simple recipes.
