Re: I Don’t Like Meat :(
The recommendations above are spot on... You can definitely get enough protein and fat without much meat. I eat two or three huge salads a day- I'm talking 6 oz of romaine lettuce, tomato, cucumber,…

Re: Which is more important?
@be858 No, net carbs are what cause the insulin spike and kick you out of ketosis. I regularly eat 40+ grams of total carbs and remain in ketosis because half of that is fiber (bringing my net carbs…

Re: Intestinal backup anyone?
I'll echo @KBG - more water, salt and I'll add lettuce and ground flax to the list. I was having issues for a few weeks until I really concentrated on water and eating lettuce at every meal.…

Re: Negative net carbs??
Interesting... I still stand by my statement and think that those items are labeled wrong or entered into Carb Manager incorrectly. In the US, the "total carbohydrate" label includes the fiber.…

Re: Negative net carbs??
That's impossible though. It's likely been entered incorrectly. Even if you ate pure fiber, it would be 1g carbs - 1 g fiber = 0 net carbs. It should never go negative.

Re: Ketosis Question
@badmojomn I only look at net carbs. I'm staying under 20, so total carbs rarely break 40.

Re: Ketosis Question
@lchartin Yes, very cheap and useful. I try not to obsess about the color- even a trace of ketones means you are in ketosis.
