Ketosis and Carbs

Options
Can you enter Ketosis if your carb intake is between 15-25 or do you have to totally zero out?

    Some say < 50 on the day. Keep to 30 to be sure. Do you plan on a refeed periodically?

    15-25 should be fine.

    It's worth researching Ketosis thoroughly before you decide to throw your body into it. Is it really what you want to do to your body?

    I played with it for a couple of years and I much prefer dieting in a way that doesn't make me feel like I'm going to die.

    I don't know, a lot of people here do very well by keeping the carbs in and keeping to macros.

    When I was doing it, some chemists refused to sell keto stix as the practise was so frowned upon. Annoying at the time, but now I look back and wish I hadn't followed the crowd.
