    @anubis609 not sure if u can answer this. today my carbs were around 30 g that is the highest they have been. Usually stay around 15 will that throw me out of Ketosis?

    Nope. There is no hard set rule for how many carbs you can ingest to remain in ketosis. Keep them as low as comfortably possible if ketosis is a goal.

    Net carbs are what matters. By definition, that would be total carbohydrates - fiber = net carbs. So, for example, if you ate 50g total carbs, but 20g of fiber came with those carbs (such as fiber from vegetables and berries), then you would have 30g net carbs.

    Be aware that processed foods (like protein bars or food sold in packages will have fiber listed on them, but may not actually act as natural fiber would - and sugar alcohol will pass through the body, but can act like a laxative).

    Other than that, remember that ketosis is never necessary for fat loss, only a caloric deficit is needed (if fat loss is your primary goal).
