    TeachingT!! I'm sorry I missed your question. I got my blood Ketone Meter on Amazon, called the PrescisionXtra. The meter itself wasn't too pricey but the Keto blood test strips are very expensive. It's very annoying because I like to check my ketone levels at least twice a day and the urine strips are not accurate. So I buy the blood test strips in bulk on EBay. They're still pricey but better than anywhere else. Add me as a friend if you have anymore questions!!

    Hi! I'm starting Keto again and I'd love to find some people to following a similar eating plan. I've had great success with the Keto diet before. A little over 2 years ago I lost 40 lbs in about 5 months eating Keto. I then got lazy and went back to a carb-based diet and slowly gained most of that weight back. This time I intend to make the change to Keto for the rest of my life. Feel free to add me!

    Please add me

    I've been keto/LC since November and I have seen great results. I even lost weight over Christmas! I'd like to join this forum and have friend requests. I can't figure out how to friend people on here

    20 grams

    I would say below 50g for many people. Those with insulin resistance tend to need to go lower, like 20-30g of carbs, to stay in measurable ketosis. Conversely, younger, healthier and active people can often stay in ketosis at even higher levels of carbs (over 100g) if they time their carbs around intense, long lasting exercise.

    Most keto'ers do start around 20-30g of total carbs. Some go higher and use 20-30g of net carbs (total carbs minus fibre).

    Ditto the suggestion to join the LCD MFP group. They are a great bunch. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group

    Hi Everyone! I am new to this and just started on keto a week ago! It took me 4 days to get into ketosis but my daily carb intake is at 45 grams...this is as low as I want to go right now. I think if I limit it anymore I will cheat! I felt pretty awful for the last 2 days but woke up today feeling really good! I am only going to weigh in and do measurements once a week(Tuesdays)...so don't know if I have lost anything yet. My tummy is definitely less bloated so thats a positive :smiley:
