How many carbs/day are acceptable for the Keto diet?courtney0525 wrote: »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-group0 -
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

Don't get discouraged if you experience the "Keto Flu". Usually as few days in you start feeling really lethargic, blaaaaaa... it will pass! Hang in there, you will feel so much better once you break through that. It's just your body reacting to not having carbs and sugars anymore so it hasn't yet reconfigured it's fuel source from easily-available sugars, to your stored fat.

Thank you Angie, I'll try not to let it stop me if do come down with the "keto flu", hope yours wasn't too bad. I've heard that chicken broth is supposed to help with that, is that something I should stock up on beforehand?0 -

get morton lite salt as it's half sodium and half potassium, also a magnesium suppliment, these are your electrolytes and help combat "keto flu", which not everyone gets.0 -
Me too! Keto since 12/3 and loving it!1

Howdy! I am back on track starting today and doing it low carb. I have lost a lot of weight going low carb and I am ready to get at it again. Add me if you'd like and we can motivate and help each other...1

Any friends would be appreciated! 3 weeks in and not sure if im doing it right0

Hi, I'm new to this whole program. Learning this new keto. New to actually using myFitnessPal also! Ha I'd like to add friends but have no idea how. 0
-
I started on the Keto diet on 1/14/17. The first 3 days have gone well. Only minor carb withdrawal effects, slight headache and body aches -- not enough of an issue to make me quit. I have been enjoying this way of eating, and I already lost 2 pounds, so I am feeling hopeful. I'm sure I will face more challenging times, though, so I came to this forum to seek support.2

Yes! If you increase sodium you can avoid the whole "keto flu" thing. It's just an electrolyte imbalance.2 -
Hello everyone. Going on day 10 of keto and so far, it's been good. Not only do I want to lose weight, but I love the idea of trying to run a marathon without relying on energy gels along the way....just burn plenty of fat for the run. We'll see in May.
I'm looking for friends aso so please add me4 -
Hi all,
New to keto diet, i didnt even planned it. The more i read, the more i was convinced, so here i am after a week. The first 3 days were very hard, since i am a carb lover, but now i feel great. Lost about 4lbs (SW:168lbs).
I love that i dont have to snack alll the time2 -
Going on keto for 3+ years... Glad to have found a community here for mutual support and knowledge. For those just getting into it, remember to embrace the fat (Sat and Mono) and cut total carbs (forget the net carbs)!2
-
Timtimtim I don't believe in net carbs either. Carbs are carbs with or without fiber.0

Still getting the hang of some of the functions of the app as I'm a newbie to the forum so I'm not sure how the adding friends thing works, but I'm a highly motivated keto enthusiast who is hoping that this time I can make it stick long term! I'm 2 weeks into my latest plan, my goals and strategy are set and attainable, but motivation can be a big factor for me too... Feel free to add me and as soon as I've worked out how I'll do the same back! It's always easy at this time of year to find lots of people who have resolved to diet, or join a gym or whatever but in a couple of weeks they're usually back on the donuts. I'm guessing that anyone motivated to use the app and this community feels the same way I do - make significant lifestyle changes in order to live a healthier, longer life. It's what I'm hoping to achieve and it's always easier to make these significant changes when it feels like someone has got your back!3

So I am finding that being whole food-keto is way easier than being low carb.
My macros are 110p/70f/20c . My cals are usually around 1,200.
I've tried other keto calculators and programs, but I found these on ketogentic dieters on Facebook and it has helped me so much.
When I had more carb options I was manipulating the program to get in "keto desserts" and other stuff that wasn't conducive to having an over eating problem.
I do feel I had to wean myself to get to 1,200 calorie point- It took 2 1/2 months to be convinced that I had to bring them to this point. I am actually very happy though. Sugar is stable, food is simple and good.1
