![]() The story going round the forums when I joined was that Carl and Richard really wanted to tell everyone not to eat carbohydrate at all, but they knew no one would listen, so they picked the limit of 20 g/day that we advise here, as being a level that would get almost everyone successfully into ketosis, except the most metabolically damaged. Brain & Body Variety Pack 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12) 4.5 out of 5 stars 8,021. To further add to the confusion, everyone’s carbohydrate tolerance is different, so it is hard to specify a limit that will work for everyone. BODYARMOR LYTE Sports Drink Low-Calorie Sports Beverage, Peach Mango. And nobody knows for sure about sugar alcohols. ![]() He says there is evidence to suggest that fibre may not be as indigestible as was heretofore believed. Westman tells his weight-loss patients to stick to under 20 g/day of total carbohydrate-period. Phinney tells patients at Virta Health to keep their total carbohydrate intake under 50 grams/day, in the hope (as he stated at Ketofest 2019) that they will stay below 20 g net. I think almost all the experts would agree that limiting by the carb total is better than going by net carbs. Net versus total carbohydrate is not a settled question. In Europe, the ‘total carbs’ is the net, since the fiber has already been subtracted and is listed as a separate total for reference. So ‘total carbs’ in NA is just that and you have to subtract the fiber amount to get net. 18 grams of carbs and 0 fiber means the producct contains 18 grams of digestible carbs.Īlso, NA and Europe count carbs differently. However, if you read a label, like the label for Body Armor Lyte Peach Mango, and you see something like 18 total carbs, 0 fiber and 2 sugar, you have to realize that something doesn’t compute. The reason for ‘net’ is that presumably the rest is indigestible cellulose fiber. Some folks with higher insulin resistance find that they must limit carb intake even more, some right down to zero. On this forum, the recommendation is sub-20 grams net. Phinney and Volek say ‘sub-50 grams’ total carbs, but they studied/published mostly very fit athletes who burn carbs a lot faster/efficiently than the rest of us ordinary folks. And to do it as consistently as possible. What matters for keto is to keep glucose/insulin low enough not to interfere with ketosis.
