    I get the impression that some people get confused between low carb and ketosis, so Keep in mind that low carb is anything under 150g net. Good luck with the challenge!

    Yes. I am doing low carb but not keto. Why? Because my A1C level is borderline high. I changed the default 50% carbohydrate to 25. It gives me 160 grams. I think enough to not feel restricted.

    I eat on avg 100-120g of net carbs a day for digestive issues. It's at the perfect level - I love my sweet potatoes too much!

    keto is 50 net grams of carbs or lower,anything above that is low carb (like you stated is under 150g)

    I'm doing the same thing! I'm aiming for at most 50g net.

    I was feeling the best when I was eating low carb in the past - and looked my best too!
    Unfortunately I fell under the spell of the sweet siren song of carbs somewhere in the middle of 2016 :'(

    I'm hoping this New Year will be me forming new dietary habits and banishing my addiction to carbs for good!

    By this definition count me in! I usually stay below 100g net daily, but won't go back to full on keto with like sub 20g daily. Tried that years ago and the side effects were horrendous, not for me.

    3rd week of Keto. Finally in full blown ketosis. Add me if you want to discuss anything Keto. It's tough but not impossible. Post details on the challenge when you get a chance.

    I'd love to be a part of it. I'd like to know what everyone else is doing as far as the challenge goes. I've never done this and want to lose 65lbs.

    Since August (5 months) I have lost 17lbs which is 10% of bodyweight on low carb (less than 100g carbs) and then keto, 25g net carbs and 78g protein. Anyone else had success so far?
