    I just track total carbs.
    At the end of the day keeps me lower...

    Are you tracking all vegetables? Including lettuces, leafy greens, broccoli, cucumbers, celery?

    I track everything that goes into my mouth. And if in doubt I weigh and measure. Just seems to me that Net Carbs is almost cheating.

    Good luck...

    Net Carbs from whole food sources are not cheating...fiber is indigestible so you aren't really consuming those carbs.

    My primary sources of carbs are probably broccoli, cauliflower and kale - maybe collard greens. I have never had the "I can eat twice as much" cross my mind. Maybe it will now, but I doubt it.

    I do a lower fat version of keto, but just focus on getting enough fat for satiation and nutrition absorption.

    This is also what I do most of the time. But there are days like yesterday when my body was telling me it needed a change and I was craving nuts. A few ounces of peanuts and a good dose of salt and extra magnesium and I'm back to normal.

    You're speaking my language. I grew up on garden fresh veggies. Broccoli, collards, spinach, squash, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, etc. Cauliflower was never a favorite until recently, now I rice it up in place of traditional rice or make a pizza crust once in a blue moon. Before my health deteriorated and I moved halfway across the country I used to have one heck of a garden.
