Daily intake and length living keto?

#1

I was curious about something.

  1. How many carbs do you consume per day or what is your upper cab limit?
  2. How long have you been doing keto eating?

For me personally, I just try to keep carb count to 15 net a day and have since I started this WOL/WOE. But I donā€™t kill myself if it goes over a little, because most times, itā€™s under 10 since I prefer Proteins. (Meats) ā€¦ But Iā€™ve always said if it get to a point where itā€™s not working, or I just need to track everything, I will. For now I keep it simple and think this is one of the main reasons I enjoy it so much. (But Iā€™m presently 33 Weeks into Keto.)

I also believe one of the main benefits of going LCHF, is that you lose your hunger, which allows you to eat 1, 2 or 3 meals a day, but, without any snacking. Which I think is a very important part, especially for weight loss. The not spiking your insulin every few hours with just a few chews, or multiple times a day, helps the best.

  1. Currently Carnivore, so my carbs are usually between 1-10g net. My personal limit is probably around 35g net but I havenā€™t tested that recently.
  2. Since April 2018

I stay below 30 carbs. I have been doing keto since sept 30, 2018

I am not sure of my upper carb limit but I suspect it is around 70. I have gone as high as ~60 and still not gotten out of ketosis.

  • My goal is supposed to be 20 net carbs, but I often go to 30 or 40
  • Over 2 years of restricted calorie keto, nearly 3 years of lazy keto before that

Same here.

I donā€™t track, just try to keep carbohydrate to a minimum. Iā€™ve been eating a ketogenic diet since late February or early March of 2017.

I donā€™t count anything. I am in month 5.

I have stopped tracking. A few days a week, only meat and cheese. Sometimes veggies and nuts. Started April 2017. At maintenance weight.

#11

I donā€™t track carbs strictly anymore, I just ballpark it. Been doing it 3 1/2 months, almost at maintenance weight.

Keto is easy! No sugar, processed foods, rice, bread, potatoes or pasta! Oh, and only berries.

#13

I also occasionally have melons and cherries. theyā€™re similar carb-wise to berries.

(Empress of the Unexpected) #14

I love cantelope. Heard about the cherries, as well. Not a big fruit eater, but cantelope with salt is wonderful. Sadly, no longer in season. Damn, apparently, I canā€™t spell.

#15

We call them rockmelons here in Australia. Never tried them with salt.

(Empress of the Unexpected) #16

Trust me - try salt.

(Empress of the Unexpected) #17

I so fit into this community - I salt everything! I snack on salt. But honestly, I never thought about salting fruit until someone introduced me to it.

#18

Just looked up the reason- The salt draws moisture to the surface and with it, flavour.

Will try it, especially when we end up with a melon that isnā€™t very sweet.

(Empress of the Unexpected) #19

Pre-keto never cared for fruits. But I always liked melon - not very sweet.
