5 - 10% carbs allowance question
I read here that 50gr carbs is tolerable
https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/comments/7q3jn4/has_anyone_been_successful_on_30g_net_carbs_or/
To avoid unnecessary debate, let's assume I can stay in ketosis at 20gr to 40gr
I eat mostly fatty meat and fat "from butter, cream cheese and cheddar cheese" But after my meal I sometimes eat small piece of homemade pie "From sweet potato, carrots and coconut milk" May also eat half a slice or full slice of thin wheat bread " 5gr carbs to 10 grabs carbs" Rarely eat half a plantain. Total carbs daily usually is around 20gr to 40gr
-
Does it apply if my carbs come from sources I mentioned? Or must it be lower glycemic carbs?
-
Does it apply if the individual does not also eat a lot of fat? Example a person only eat 20gr to 40gr of carbs or less a day and rest is protein, very low to 0 fat, will that still induce ketosis?
-
Can amount of carbs be increased as long as Fat is also dramatically increased to maintain 5 - 10% carbs? Example you eat 1000 grams of fat and 100 grams carbs.

Great question.....looking forward to answers.

There is dirty keto where your fats come from burgers. bacon etc which works for some so yes you can get your fats from different sources and it works but is it healthy.
You need fats if you are not having as many carbs as the main energy source
.
One of the most common mistakes people make when starting out on a ketogenic diet is not consuming enough fats, which makes sense! People have become accustomed over the years to fear this macronutrient, and the keto diet calls for them to fuel the body with it, almost entirely.
Additionally, you might think you are eating a high-fat diet, but you may simply be eating a low-carb diet. Eating a low-carb diet without increasing your fat intake means that you are likely getting most of your calories from protein. Your body can use protein as a source of glucose through the process of gluconeogenesis, and this can prevent you from entering, or maintaining, the metabolic state of ketosis. If you are coming from a diet of low-fat foods, consuming up to 90% of your daily calories from fat may be difficult to wrap your head around, but embracing it will be an important part of your success.
