Re: 3rd day

For a good induction and to get to ketosis faster, you should be eating 20 grams of carbs or less. You seem to be right on track for 3 days. KUTGW!

Ideally you would be close to 20, which helps maintain metabolism, but being 15 or so isn't a bad thing. 20 grams is an upper limit for induction. I strive for 15-20 per day. Are you using fitday? It helps, especially at first, to find hidden carbs.

Hi Chelsea,
I am in Uk too, using fitday on a daily basis, works just great!
I was wondering why don't you start a journal to post all your day-intake and receive advice and support.....you don't want to carry on posting your journey here till 100th day do you?
