OK this question is more of just in theory and don’t think I’m over here really trying to test my limits and stuff haha, but I was curious…
Obviously there’s no SET limit to the amount of carbs we can intake in a day and stay in ketosis. I try to stay under 30g at absolute maximum (but have had a few days here and there where I get close to 40g), but generally i tend to eat around 10-15g since starting Keto. Some days less. But we all kinda know a general number we try to stay under, and whenever possible stay far under.
What if I was to eat a treat that is low calorie and high carbs, like popcorn for example… Enough to stay under my carb limit for staying in ketosis, but by not much… So say my limit was under 40g carbs, and I eat 35g of carbs worth of popcorn, which would probably work out to i don’t know, 400 calories or something… And lets say anything else I ate during the day was 0 carbs… Just meats or whatever. And overall my calories added up to a deficit (I did exercise and my normal calorie burning for the day). Would I still potentially lose weight, even with the CLOSE to the limit amount of carbs in my diet for the day?
Again, I’m not looking for a pass to eat a bag of popcorn every day! Haha. But I was just curious about how the limits work. Like I said most days I’m in the 10-15g range anyway.
