For most people, 20g or less of carbs per day should put you in ketosis.

Dude going into ketosis means losing lots of lean muscle mass and is going to put extra stress on your kidneys and liver.

Remember how long it took you to put on the weight and be realisitic about losing it (losing 30-40lbs by July the 4th isn't).

Plus ketosis gives you some real bad breath. Look afetr yourself!!!
