Thanks! Definitely don't want to compromise my work in the gym!

ALSO- while you're starting out, pay attention to your electrolytes! Natural Calm magnesium and bone broth is what I use. Should mitigate some of the 'keto flu' symptoms. Salt, salt & more salt!

About a week. I love it! I test with a blood ketone meter, but now I pretty comfortably know when I'm in the low range or in the higher range pretty intuitively. And now that I am there, I don't have the desire to tweak my macros because my appetite is pretty supressed. I have about 40lbs to lose (well, more like 25 now)…

I would start at 5% carbs until you become keto-adapted. Once you're in ketosis and become comfortable with the diet, you can tweak your macros. Some people can eat more carbs & still stay in ketosis- others cannot. I'd work on establishing a baseline & then testing your ketones to gauge your reaction to additional carbs…
