Ya - I'm generally in the 100g range and am losing.
I have been working out a lot lately though so that explains the raise in carbs a bit.

When I'm fairly sedentary, I usually aim for around 60-70g.

I've done 30g a day and find it kinda hard to sustain over a prolonged period (not necessarily because I don't fell good, but just because I can't seem to eat anything other than meat and eggs).

Edit: Also, I really don't know if there's anything to support this at all, but I've read if you eat the carbs in the morning, you might be better off since you'll burn it throughout the day rather than have your body process it overnight. Maybe something to experiment with?

Either way though you should have no problems at all losing at 50-70g (though if you've been at 30g regularly, you might see a little spike once you up it do to water retention)

Oh my gosh, I don't think I could stay that low. I don't max my carbs, but always 100+. With all that I'm doing, I need a little extra. I get a lot of them from sweet potatoes and fruits though. Sometimes my home baked goodies when I'm "testing" them. He he he.

no.. once i'm in ketosis i feel amazing.

carb flu is pretty terrible though.

Honestly, the best way is to experiment with your body and see how you feel and how the weight is responding. No two people are the same.

Personally, the macros I watch are protein and carbs. I aim for about 1g per lb of my ideal body weight (180-200g) and try to stay under 100g (give or take a few). The fat generally works itself out.

My macro ratios are set at 50F/35P/15c and that seems to work well for me.

I think you're well on your way with that plan of dropping dairy and limiting fruit if you're looking for weight loss. Dairy causes large spikes in insulin and could be hampering your progress.

So if I am a newbie trying to start ketosis under 30 carbs, can I ignore calories and still lose weight if I exceed my MFP calorie targets?? Any thoughts there?? I hear that a higher fat intake can shorten he carb flu period.

Honestly, everyone is different. you may have to do some experimentation to see what works for you, and even at that, you may find your body adapts and changes and what you need to eat changes as well. This is a lifetime change, so several weeks or months of trying different macros are no big deal. I've been paleo since Mar 2011 and found cutting carbs to 20% of calories worked to lose the weight but now over a year later I actually need more. The OP is female so I'll add that I've read females have higher carb requirements because of reproductive needs, so you may want to experiment with carb levels to find what works for you. What is okay now may not be enough after a few months when your body fat is lower.
