@MrsBeccaM5 ...there is quite a range to what low carb is. Generally speaking, eating 150g/carbs or less per day is considerd "low carb." Eating 20-50/g carbs per day is considered eating Keto low carb levels. Eating very low carb (VLC) is the equivalent of eating 5-10g/carbs per day or less (think carnivore Keto). Hope this info is helpful.4 -

I try to eat under 100g of carbs a day, but I'm definitely not keto. I'm usually around 80g on average.1 -
I'm back on low carb again myself, feel free to add me!1

Here's a stupid question...has anyone found that after cutting their carbs significantly, that they have become sleepy nearly all of the time? I know their is the "carb flu", but this is something different...if I sit for more than a couple of minutes, I become so sleepy I can't stand it. Took a nearly 3 hour nap last night, then went to bed, slept for nearly 6 hours, and after sitting still for a couple of minutes, I'm sleepy again...
I've been struggling with doing this for the last three months and I just NOW realized that I might be so exhausted all day because I don't have enough carbs. I'm painfully tired when I wake up, even if I go to sleep at 8 or 9 (super early for me). I thought maybe because I've been working so much lately that was the only reason. I don't know why I didn't even connect the two before.0 -

Maybe it is the other way... I was feeling more energetic then I had in quite a while when I was on my 3rd and 4th weeks of Keto, but I slipped up and have had some carbs slipping in and my fat intake dropped a bit and I have been dragging since. Need to keep the fat burning engine fueled!3 -
Been doing keto for 2 months and I'm 30 lbs down! I'd love to have more keto/LC friends.3

Hi guys. I started my keto diet two days ago. I read ketosis tends to start after 3 days of a keto diet. So I'm Looking forward to testing this soon with ketostix or something.
Eggs eggs eggs! meat, avocado and spinach seem to be key foods cropping up for me so far. I'm interested to see how people vary their foods on this diet as I'm feeling a bit limited. I wish us luck!2 -
