    I am on keto and I stay under 20 net carbs a day. I am a newbie but I have lots of weight to lose. I started on January 1st 2019 with my friend. I also do that with intermittent fasting I do 20/4 I don't find it hard at all. I have lost 22 lbs. I hope that helps you.

    tkimberlin92 When people talk about fasting in that way, the big number is the number of hours in which they don't eat, and a small number is the hours in which they do. So for example fasting 20/4 might mean that that person eats only between the hours of noon and 4 p.m. different people define fasting differently, some people consume only water during fasting hours many consume plain tea or coffee, others consumed bulletproof coffee or tea.

  • I've been trying to do Keto, but find it difficult to manage fiber, proteins, sugar, carbs,...it's just too much for me. I've been primarily counting carbs. I started at 40 carbs, knowing that most American men eat 250-350 carbs a day. Once I figured out that if I ate 40 carbs, I exceeded my calorie intake, I lowered my carbs to 35. Then, I figured out that I didn't need 35 carbs each day and lowered it again to 28 carbs. I've been losing pretty consistently without feeling too hungry.
