In fact I probably have more carbs than that, but not much more. I also was able to sustain about a kg drop a week for a good few months, but I also had a lot of weight to lose, it plateaued towards the end, and that’s also something to know, the initial rate of drop may not continue but trend is the aim.sone others are not as lucky and in that case dropping the carbs down to the lower levels are needed to maintain the levelsAll that said, this also depends on the aim. If it is to drop blood levels then that’s one thing, if this is for keto and ketosis then that’s a different matteralso, calories vs carbs is an endless debate. Personally I watched both carbs and calories. I do now believe calories are not always the same, so calories in sweets don’t necessarily correlate to the same weight gain as calories in cheese even though they are implied to be and carb counting is better. But if you eat a whole packet of nuts and a block of cheese you may be low carb but I’m sure you’d pile the weight onthat’s my view anyway, I’m a hybrid <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
