Why is there a non-keto low carb category? It's full of keto

You don’t have to buy anything besides food to be on Keto.  I don’t test I don’t buy any scales or manufactured foods.  I’ve lost 90lbs in less then a year.  If you google portions it’ll give you visuals or sometimes they have scales at $ stores.   Stick to the plan follow carb Manager and you’ll lose.  There’s plenty of groups on FB too.  Good luck🙂

I’d imagine it’s mostly keto because, it’s easy to follow and it is low carb..

Same here, in maintenance and after initial pee strips ($6-7), didn’t buy anything else.  I eat low carb, some days really low, some days  higher.  There is no such thing as keto foods anyway. Ketosis is a metabolic state and not necessary for weight loss. It does  have it’s perks for sure but I go by how I feel and not worried about ketosis. I think unless you have very specific health issues, it’s not necessary. 

I am doing low carb not keto. I am losing about a pound a week consistently. I use this app to record amounts and try not to worry about fat and calories. I have one kidney, so I have to remain cognizant about protein. Hope that help.

I am not doing keto ether. I was looking forward to a non/keto group. Thought for sure this would be it since it’s right there in the heading. 

I’m not on keto. I allow myself anything from 40 to 80grams of carbs a day, and since I have lots of social and business commitments, I go over a lot. However, I’ve been steadily losing weight and am really happy with my progress. Just recording my food helps a lot. 

For me, it’s basically about portion control, and not eating carb centeric food like pasta, rice bowls or  sammies. I sometimes crave potato chips or toast, in which case I allow myself a small amount (like a tablespoon or 2).  I eat fruits for dietary fiber because I hate being constipated. 

Different strokes for everyone. Stick to what you believe in yourself and you’ll get there. Good luck!

I'm also low(er) carb and not keto.  I focus on staying under 80 of NET carbs and within my calorie limit for the day.  I also focus on HEALTHY fats and not HIGH fat foods.  I'm premium and I've connected my activity tracker to CM.  If I'm very active  on any given day,  I also eat back my exercise carbs/calories.  I want to be healthy not skinny.  I've dabbled in tracking my food here but without any consistency.  It's time to get serious now.  I'm starting today.
