Tag: Exercise and ketosis

The standard recommendation from many keto resources, including the r/keto subreddit, is to stay under 20-50 grams of net carbs daily to reliably enter ketosis. However, as revealed in numerous Reddit discussions, the question of whether you can be in ketosis with 100 grams of carbs is more nuanced and depends heavily on individual factors like activity level and metabolism.

For individuals on a low-carb diet, it is completely normal for blood ketone levels to vary throughout the day and from one day to the next. This metabolic reality often leads to frustration, prompting the common question: why do my ketones keep going up and down?
