[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2100737, member: 41816"] Hi Winnie, I am afraid I disagree. A ketogenic diet is a diet where whatever you are eating results in ketosis. That isn’t necessarily at below 50g carbs. And in fact nil carbs but a high intake of protein could prevent someone from being in ketosis. Other factors are height, weight, muscle mass, whether the person is fat adapted... Phinney quotes examples where athletes reach ketosis on up to 100g carbs a day (which is v rare!), whereas some hormonally challenged women need to be under 20g carbs a day (or less) to get into ketosis. I think the only way to confirm whether an individual is in ketosis is to test for it. The reason that 20g for a ketogenic diet is quoted so often is because at 20g carbs or below, then it is very, very likely that most people are in ketosis. At 50g a lot of people don’t get to ketosis. [/QUOTE]
