Tag: Low carb vs keto

According to research, very low-carbohydrate diets are typically defined as consuming less than 50 grams of carbs per day. This means that consuming only 30 carbs a day is considered low carb and places your intake firmly within the range associated with the ketogenic diet.

For most people, the typical ketogenic diet requires limiting carbohydrates to a much lower range of 20 to 50 grams of net carbs per day to achieve and maintain ketosis. Therefore, eating 70 carbs, particularly net carbs, is typically not considered keto and may prevent most individuals from entering this metabolic state.
