keto diet...zero or few carbs

[Shredded1]

hey guys im using the keto diet during my cutting and i found my optimum nutrition whey protein has 3g carb per serving...i have around 3-4 daily. can 9-12g carb a day mess up ketosis or should i have ZERO carbs daily? i dont mind buying a zero carb whey protein but i thought id ask before i waste the money.

not at all, you can have up to 30g of carbs a day and not risk ruining your ketosis

thought so, it was and is still working beautifully i was just asking because id hate to be slowing progress for one simple mistake.

It can vary from person to person.
Shoot for 0. Some ppl get kicked out of Keto on 20 per day.

Yeah im trying, if I had a zero carb whey protein then it would be 0, but my whey protein makes it so im around 9-12g

Don't worry about getting kicked out of ketosis, you don't have to stay there 24/7 to loose

interesting....I have been at about 100 grams of carbs per day for like 16 days now how much more dramatic would the fat losing effect be if I dropped to 0-30??

Exponentially. 100g of carbs is pointless imo; you'd have more energy replacing that 400 calories with oils/fats and going straight keto.

[smalltime7]

interested please give me some ideas on the oils and fats

that would be cool cause by early afternoon i am dragging ass

Just do some research on ketogenic diets. There's a few threads in this very forum. If you post a proposed diet, we'll help you perfect it.

To the OP, the vet hit it on the head bro; keep your macro ratios right and you'll see results. Don't sweat being in constant keto.

[smalltime7]

I did some research and wow seems confusing

[Shredded1]

lets keep on track....im pretty sure its safe to say <20g will keep you in ketosis well. I am at about 12g so pretty much nothing.

Even the strict entry phase for the Atkins diet allows for 20g daily. You're fine. And remember, fiber isn't counted as a net carb; so eat your veggies and almonds.
