    Keto for over 18 months now. I don't really focus on macros. Not even sure what mine are set to. I just aim for as little carb as possible and focus on real food.
    I'm planning to be a lifer :)

    The majority of us active members are keto level of low carb but many are in the moderate or even higher levels (~150g).

    If you ever have questions, check out the Launch Pad for very valuable information!

    I usually stay way under 20 total carbs a day also - so far it's working pretty good for me. I plan on eating this way for the rest of my life

    Me too...most days <5 gr but if I go over I don't stress. I don't think I ever go over 20 net.

    Sort of. I don't count anything, just keep things to moderate protein, higher in fat, and mostly low GI veggies as my carbs. I'm on a new med that seems to require a slightly higher carb count in the afternoon, but I'm still keeping it pretty low.

    20g net or less per day for almost a year, I've lost 53 pounds and hope to lose about 40 more in 2017.

    I'm not Keto strict, but probably do venture down towards sub 20 grams on occasion.

    I've been watching my carbs seriously since August and in the last few weeks started turning to keto. I am back on this week after allowing some treats over my long thanksgiving weekend. I did try to limit myself only to those things that are really only available to me this time of year... I had pumpkin pie, for example, but not potatoes. And let me tell you, the pie tasted so much sweeter than I remember! Maybe my palate is changing...? I plan to try making it with either sweetener, or if I use sugar I'm going to cut it in half and see how it turns out.

    Anyway as I said, been back on this week and I hope to be back in ketosis if not by now, then hopefully soon. I too keep my macros at 75/20/5 but I do find it hard to get all my protein in.
