The ideal amount is low enough to keep your levels in the normal range. It's also a level that you can sustain long term- not a diet but a way of eating.For ME= I go very low carb- less than 20 grams a day. I find that generally  I crave carbs less the fewer I eat. I tend to stick to things with no or very low carbs so I don't have to measure. That makes it easier for me. These are things like fish, meat, cream in coffee, cheese (hard mostly) and diet jelly. But this is what works for me.I will be honest and say that I do find a keto diet challenging at times. Before my diagnosis I would eat red meat about 2- 3 times a year. I find it generally very dense. However, I am very motivated to  keep my levels in the normal range. I can sustain it and have done for some years.</blockquote>
