    Suzipam, I'm with you. Just low carb isn't good enough. LCHF all the way.

    5 or 10 % carbs, 20 or 25% protein, rest as fat. Starter for 10 - low carb, moderate protein, high fat.

    Hunger suppression, nice tasty foods, stable blood sugar all contribute to success. Increased fat oxidation though reduced carbohydrate is the way to get the fat out of your body (providing you don't eat more than you oxidise)

    the app does it (at least on Android) and there's an add-in script for the web site that adds it to Firefox etc - https://github.com/Surye/mfp-keto-userscript I think is current

    I'm at the lower end of LCHF, and am in ketosis. I too go for 5% C, 20-25% P, and 70-75% F. Ditto everything @yarwell wrote.
