How Low do you go ;)

Have to say, I really adore this group. Every single person has given what works for them with no expectation that others need the same levels. You don't find that consideration on many forums!!!

I'm on Day 8 (wow, is that all?) and have been aiming for between 30-40g carbs per day. My daily actual figures have been 34, 38, 48, 31, 28, 34, 30, 38, 54, 36, 40, so 2 blowouts, both due to ignorance when I was away from the computer to be able to check carbs before I consumed.

Loving it so far and congrats to everyone here for what they are achieving. It's so good to be able to share journeys with you.

I aim for 20g, with the understanding that the food logs are not 100% accurate and if I have a big carb day, then I still have a lot of wiggle room...once in ketosis at least. I find the longer I eat very low, the easier it gets. My issues are always around ToM or social occasions (usually weekends with a little too much time and booze), and then I kick myself out of ketosis and have to work really hard for 2-3 days to get back into.

To each their own though, as some people do best really low and other's need to be a bit higher. Tracking is really the only way to know what works best for the individual, so good for you for keeping track in the first place and reviewing the data to understand how it affects you. Keep at it!

I'm not low carb, "for realsies" as we know, lol. But today (a mostly plant based day), I decided to count. My net was 48 grams.
