Am I to use Net carbs or regular carbs?

Hi, I am new to following Keto. I signed up for the Premium Program and really enjoy having the use of it. I have had problems with staying within 20 carbs.  It has not been a week yet. So I think of this time as a learning curve of following the program. Learning to eat differently.  I am 63 yrs young, with several health issues.  Obesity has brought those on.    One question I have is, am I to use net carbs?

    Welcome.  Most use net carbs.  You are right about the learning curve.  This is a big adjustment.  Focus on staying  under your net carb goal and then work to balance the rest of your Macros. Good Luck.

    Gina hi, you say most use net carb. But does that keep you out of the red?

    MVDessau Yes, using net carbs works well for me, but my total carbs aren’t very high either.  Use total carbs or net carbs, whichever you think will work best for you.
