Hi All, Just curious what the limit is that would make someone a low carber vs someone doing keto. Also, does the low carber still take fiber into consideration? TIA :)

    You may wish to join the Low Carb group. Lots of people doing keto and info about keto there.

    While there is no strict definition of a low carb diet, anything under 100–150 grams per day is generally considered low carb. This is definitely a lot less than the amount of carbs in the standard Western diet.

    ...Most people will need to go under 50 grams per day to reach ketosis.

    Keep in mind that this doesn’t leave you with many carb options — except vegetables and small amounts of berries.

    To calculate your net carbs, subtract fiber, sugar alcohols, and other nondigestible carbs from the total amount. These are the carbs to watch on a ketogenic diet.
