keto is usually 60% or more of fat and most do 10% or less of carbs(25grams or less) and the rest protien. you just have to find what ration works for you but fat is supposed to be the highest and carbs the lowest amount of your calories.2 -

I recommend calculating your own macros to get a better fit. Try any leading keto website2 -

Find what does work for you.
I have tried to stay below 30g a couple of times. I just can't do it. I had leftover lamb for breakfast last Saturday and was STARVING by the time lunch came around. It is pretty easy for me to stick to 50-60g of carbs most days, though.1 -

I agree with what @CharlieBeansmomTracey said. It's a good basis for starting. Then, fine tune to your own body and satiety.I am failing horribly at this diet:(
@nanda7114 be specific. What's going on that makes you feel like you're failing? I'm no expert, but am having excellent success. I'd like to know about your experience.1 -
Starting 5/2. Wish me success. Open to advice for beginners.0

I was doing great but now not so much. Find my willpower has left me... every morning I start out great guns then I fall off the wagon.
Yesterday wasn't a complete write off. I was over my calories slightly but my macros were pretty good.0 -
Ive been on it about 2 weeks and I watched a LOT of you tube videos before I started for meal ideas and also tips on starting off. Yea there was conflicting time to time but I just had a plan going in, also I make sure to have food with me. Also I got some exogenous ketones to help with keto flu and Ive been feeling great, tons of energy and appetite went down but I didnt check my ketones for a week because I would get discouraged if I checked it first couple days. I started at 355 and im at 330 now (water weight) but still feels good. Good luck and add people for moral support!6

Back before Xmas I was experimenting with the Keto Diet, when I was actually following it my Blood Sugar was quite low, which is good as I'm a Type 2 Diabetic - would love to maintain a good BS level more by diet than by insulin. As of Today I have my FitBit and am charging forward as part of the William Improvement Program. Ofc looking at Keto there are a lot of authors peddling a lot of 'stuff'. Personally, I've found the books by
Maria Emmerich to seem authentic and I've used them and been pleased. I tend to blend in more meat than she advocates, a bit of Paleo, and as I said it was quite good. Now I just have to motive my *kitten* to get back on the horse. BTW, several of Emmerich's books are available free if you have Amazon Prime.2 -

You can do a modified fat keto. Your macros depend on how much you currently weigh and your calorie intake.1

Today is my 3 week anniversary on keto. I've lost 13 lbs, and all my body measurements are down at least a half inch. I had no keto flu pain and converted to ketosis in 2 days with no pain. I ate spinach, lox, cream cheese, pepperoni sticks, string cheese, teri chicken (marinated), 2 finn crisps max/day and olive oil on salads primarily for the first 4-5 days. Simple to grab from fridge when I'm hungry and I didn't have to linger at the fridge looking around. I'm a foodie and love to cook so there were some sad moments at times, but you get over it pretty quick. I'm not hungry on this diet so there aren't the cravings. It is easy to be under calories. The main thing to do is drink A LOT of water. I drink 2-3 cups of coffee each morning with heavy cream and then only water the rest of the day. I sprinkled some salt and lemon juice into my water and that will help keep you from getting keto cramps.
Tracking on MFP is important so you can have some cheats. I do 70% fat/20 pro/10 carb, which gives me 38g carbs per day. I just make sure I never go over 50. The other day I had eaten low carb vegies and so I had a half cup of my beloved Tillamook Caramel Butter Pecan ice cream. I'm still in high volume ketosis. I know some folks are strict about less than 20g, but for me, I've found if I stay under 50 (I average 20-40), my keto stick still says I'm in high ketosis and I don't feel like I'm deprived so much. I haven't done bread, but I did make the fathead pizza crust the other day and it was pretty good.
Best of luck to you my fellow keto-ers!
