I count my carbs. Try to make sure I don't eat more than 25g per meal.
Absolutely. For me it's a 20g/day limit. All "carb foods" - breads, cereals, rice, potatoes, sugars, fruit etc - will have much more than that in a single portion so are off limits.Hi I just wondered if any of you count carbs and is it recommended?
Obviously we all have different BMIS so wondering how it could be worked out
In ketosis fat burnt is body fat or the fat that we.eat?Absolutely. For me it's a 20g/day limit. All "carb foods" - breads, cereals, rice, potatoes, sugars, fruit etc - will have much more than that in a single portion so are off limits.
I don't think BMI is at all relevant - it is to do with keeping your carb intake low enough so that you start using bodyfat for fuel. That will start happening at different levels of intake for different people - mine is somewhere about 30-35g/day.
If you are in a calorie deficit some will be body fatIn ketosis fat burnt is body fat or the fat that we.eat?
It dose not matter what diet you are on, if you don't take in enough fuel for your needs you will burn body fat,In ketosis fat burnt is body fat or the fat that we.eat?
Understood...It dose not matter what diet you are on, if you don't take in enough fuel for your needs you will burn body fat,
If you eat more fuel than you need, you will store body fat.
in ketosis your fuel of choice is fat, if you don't eat enough, you will burn your fat stores, eat too much and you will increase your fat storage.
Bodyfat - ketosis is the technical term for metabolising bodyfat. I have no idea how many calories are in the food I eat, calories do not matter if ketosis continues.In ketosis fat burnt is body fat or the fat that we.eat?
This is a bit misleading. Calorie (energy) deficits usually provoke the body into starvation mode, and this can have unwanted effects, including increased fat storage. Some calorie deficient diets are also (accidentally?) low carb diets - the 800 calories/day diet is one. If every one of those calories came from carbohydrate (zero protein, zero fat) you'd only need 200g of carb to produce the 800Kcal. In practice it's more likely that around half the 800 would come from fats and proteins, with the other half coming from 100g carb. 100g carb/day is definitely low carb territory.If you are in a calorie deficit some will be body fat

The thing about low-carb for me is that it is primarily a way of reducing blood glucose, but it also has the side effect, for me as for many, of triggering fat loss.
I know. It's just that the simplistic "calories in, calories out" model doesn't account for how human metabolism actually works.Calories deficits can be anything below maintenance, I was not advocating very low calorie diets.
