What happens if you go over your net carbs and how does that effect you?
Hi! Today is my first day starting keto. By the time I eat my last meal I will be over my net carbs by 2 largely due to the quinoa I had at lunch. (I didn't know) I am wondering if the 2 carbs is going to hurt me? I'm alsounder my total fat by 4 grams. One more thing! I'm working out tonight and typically have a protein shake afterwards. Do I still drink that or no?

Hello! From my understanding on Keto we can not eat Quinoa. I believe it's because of the wheat, sounds, or gluten it may have in it. I'm not positive but I will check for you. I believe it is a food that will spike your insulin levels and that's what you want to avoid on Ketosis. Hopes this helps and I will get back to u when I find that information.

cecemiller38 You're welcome. I plan out the meals as they come, trying to leave a little wiggle room at the end of the day for a snack where I can make sure the macros all fit.
If that doesn't work for you, you can try advanced planning--fill in tomorrow's menu today, see what needs adjusting so that you meet the macros before you even start your day.

The education about ketosis is so important That's why I recommend Dr Eric Berg on YouTube and Facebook. I have read many posts where people just jump into the diet and then get discouraged when they are not dropping pounds. Education is the key to understand about insulin resistance and high blood insulin and if I had not found this diet I was on my way to becoming diabetic thank God I found Dr. Berg.
