[QUOTE="alaska, post: 639103, member: 14213"] I wouldn't personally worry about the small amounts of carbs in vegetables such as tomatoes or petit pois. Ketosis is brought on by low calories and not exclusively ultra-low carbs. Whilst it's good to have a target, don't let your target prevent you from having good, healthy food. The body has a number of processes designed to keep us alive. If you ate nothing by cheese, for instance, the body will convert some of this into blood glucose to keep you alive, you wouldn't simply be living off ketones. Also, a single slice of tomato should not be 6g (unless it was a huge tomato). The Carbs and Cals app I have lists a regular sized tomato as having 4g of carbs and 20 kcal. If you take a very low cal diet as 800 kcal, you could have 200 tomatoes and be comfortably in the ketosis zone. It's good to have a target but don't lose perspective in doing so. [/QUOTE]
