I did Keto last year, but low carb high fat is it the same as going in Ketosis? please elaborate. I know there are info on the internet bu I wanted to post here to learn from your experience with it.

Keto is LCHF but LCHF is not necessarily Keto.

Keto generally refers to 50g of carbs or less, whereas LCHF can refer to more than that - but still be considered low carb.

The LCHF macro range varies from person to person - try this calculator and play with the numbers to see what you get: http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

LCHF doesn't necessarily have a macro range. LCHF usually focuses on choosing intake to satiety from certain foods.

Thank you! Do you count calories? I know I did not when I was on Keto.

I've seen some keto diets use higher proteins and lower fats. From what I understand, when you see a ketogenic diet, it is merely referring to a diet that keeps you in ketosis, and can be different in terms of how you go about doing that.
Low Carb High Fat is a ketogenic diet that focuses on fat being your main source of energy, because proteins and carbs are both converted to glucose.

I have been only counting calories in the last 8 months with carbs are the least consumed and I am thinking to try LCHF. But I do not want the extreme Ketosis, I like to try High fat, my focus now is high protein to avoid muscle loss and achieve satiaty so I am not sure at this point.
