Low carb diet question?!
Question: alright so i read eggs have about 0.38 carbs per egg, well after making some omelets i saw on the box that an egg has 1 gram of carbs, well this would put me like 6 carbs over 20, will going over 20 grams kick me out of ketosis, and how long before i can get back in it? and if not how many carbs a day could you have at max and stay in ketosis?

I keep my egg intake at 3 a day. I've been only having eggs at 1 meal and using nuts, greens, fish and lean meats to stay within 20. It will take you 1 meal cycle (4-6 hours) to get back into ketosis. Staying in ketosis depends on your specs - I've stayed in ketosis around 25 or 26 grams but I'm a big dude.
You need to stay withen 20 grams of carbs for the first week.Every week, you add 5 grams of carbs.Once you reach a weight loss plateau,just down 5 grams of carbs and stay put.This is how to keep yourself in ketosis.The Atkins diet is very strict.You could always try some variations such as south beach...etc.
everyone is different in regards as to how many carbs will kick them out of ketosis. get some keto stix, they sell them at target, walmart, etc.
