Starting keto looking for a week 1 food list/meal plan

I’ve got a couple of weeks where I’m working from home and not really going out much so seemed like a good time to do a very clean focused kickstart. Does anyone have a sample shopping list or meal plan for a week? I eat pretty much everything and tend to do 16:8 overnight during the week. Have 2.5 stone to lose and a serious sugar addiction to tackle. And anyone else starting tomorrow? Would love a buddy to chat to.

What's your daily carb allowance going to be?

I’m going for 20g initially for the first 2 weeks but hoping after that on my exercise days I might be able to nudge to 30g as I really want to have a tiny bit of fruit even if it’s just a handful of blueberries or raspberries.

I don't have a meal plan, but I can really recommend Monya Kilian Palmer's recipe books - she's written 4 now, all based on Keto. She worked as a chef with Heston Blumenthal at The Fat Duck, so she's a skilled cook as well as recipe creator. All her recipes are really straightforward and everything I've made from her books has been delicious.
