You're not that far in yet, maybe, but what was once heaven to me (like a scoop of nutella) now is sickeningly sweet. That could well happen to you as time goes on. I'm ridiculously low carb, so not keto but carnivore, and my insulin sensitivity has improved in the past five years. That said, I gave myself a small treat last week. And while it didn't ruin my blood glucose, and I remained in the non-diabetic range, I did get carb-flu something awful in the days after. So it's really about what you can tolerate at any given point, and what the price tag is. For me, the cost is just too high, so I'll not be doing that again, even if it was just a small indiscretion. The headaches just weren't worth it, nor the going-to-the-loo five times in a single night. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Since you asked about low carb rather than keto though: I had more leeway when I didn't go to extremes, a year or two, three ago, before going keto. Your meter'll tell you. Just be wary of carb-creep (having more and more, more often, as "once won't hurt", and it never remains just the once), and check what your bloods are up to. This is a completely individual journey and what doesn't work for me, could be fantastic for you, and vice versa.</blockquote>
