[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2267976, member: 401801"] You're not likely to get into ketosis at 50 grams of carbs a day. I think it might be possible for some though, but to absolutely ensure ketosis, 20 grams or less is pretty much a guarantee. I didn't start with a keto diet. Just gradually lowered carbs until I found a plateau I was comfortable with. That turned out to be keto. ;) So if you're feeling fine at 50, you're fine at 50. If not, keep lowering until your meter and your body tell you they're happy. And yes, your liver is dumping stores to get your blood glucose back up to the level it thinks you should be on. It'll calm down eventually, and get used to the new normal. Time is your friend. And while a HbA1c is a measure taken through a blood test, you could get an estimate if you record a lot of consecutive days/meals in the MySugr app. It won't be spot-on, but it might give you a ballpark.
