UK food labels list carbs and fibre separately so the carb total is the one you need. If you’re deducting the fibre, you’ll be undercounting the carbs. In the US, fibre is included in the carb total so needs to be deducted, hence the phrase ‘net carbs’.How low you have to go in carbs to get into ketosis does vary. If you go to 20g or below it’s pretty much guaranteed, but some can achieve it eating a few more. Do you have blood ketone strips so you can check?If you wanted to reduce carbs a bit, I’d suggest switching the cashews for a lower carb nut (Brazils, walnuts, macadamias are all good) and swapping the sweet corn for a green vegetable. Sweet corn is quite carby.Try adding more fat if you’re hungry and some salt might help with the lightheadedness.Sounds like you’re doing great though - a lot of changes for you.</blockquote>
