+1 for extra sodium and patience. Unless you have high blood pressure or kidney issues the sodium balances out,0

50 carbs is for those that are keto adapted. Starting out you need to be <20.
Also while on keto, your electrolytes get depleted. Need to make sure you consume 5000mg sodium daily, as well as potassium and magnesium, if not you may feel lethargic and not well.
One way to speed up keto adaption is to do a fast 16 hour with a depletion workout in fasted state, then consume 80% fat, 15% protein, 5% carb for a day and you should adapt much quicker than norm.0 -

WIN! :]
Forget this 'keto' plan - how sustainable is this in the long term? Not very if you're struggling so much now. Eat a calorie deficit (the beauty of this is you can eat what you WANT!) and you'll lose weight
Ahhh so many conflicting messages. So how many carbs then?!0 -
If it were me, I wouldn't even pay attention to them unless you have to for medical reasons.

Ok thanks, I'll try that. I think I'm getting a little too obsessed with the carb number0 -

Don't beat yourself up - it's very easy to get fixated on one particular idea but it's really about finding what's right for you. The low carb option didn't work for me AT ALL - and now 60% of my daily calories are in fact, carbs and I love it and I lose weight! :]0 -

Awesome! Low carb isn't for everyone for sure. I upped mine to 100 carbs so hopefully that should help with being so tired and foggy.0 -
Probably up protein and fats and be taking a potassium and magnesium supplement you will feel better and drink almost 2 gal of water. bc you are going low carb you need more water.0

I try to do 20g or less a day. I don't really count them, I've probably been going over.
I've also been following wheat belly, do not eat any processed free foods! They are full of starches. You can't really even eat grains on a low carb diet either.
Weighed this morning and I've finally lost 50 lbs. I hope most of that is fat, having body aches again. I take a trace mineral supplement which contains magnesium and I have 99mg potassium citrate capsules, how many should u be taking a day to avoid aches?
Also been feeling so tired after a meal... I don't know if I got kicked out of ketosis or what0 -
Does intermittent fasting help? I went 16-24 hours barely eating. Does that help put you into ketosis? Do you actually lose fat fasting? I've lost 4-6 lbs since Wednesday0

The "Keto flu" can be 100% prevented by getting enough sodium while you're losing the initial water weight. I never had a day of any "flu like", low electrolyte symptom. Most people don't get enough because they don't understand how much is really lost during this time and needs to be replaced.
How long it takes to become fat adapted depends on how aggressively you cut out carbs and that you stay consistent during that time. Many people will do some kind of fasting to get things going. I didn't, it's really up to you. Just know that 50g total or less is considered ketogenic. But that doesn't mean that more than that wouldn't have you producing ketones.0 -

Agreed! Each person's body is a little different so tweaking a way of eating that suits one's needs is the best thing you can do.0 -

The ketogenic diet has been around for nearly 100 years and is most def not a "fad".
IMO those that say "it didn't work for me" never entered into ketosis and gave up too fast. If they didnnt do it for 60-90 days then they didnt do keto.
With that being said unless you have insulin resistance or problems all you "need" to lose fat is a calorie deficit.
