I feel like keeping net carbs to 50g a day or less is a good balance.

It’s not no carb so you can still perform quite well but it also limits the amount of empty shite you can eat.

i dont want the misconception to be im against keto or low carb....quite the opposite as I use it. im simply saying, it works because it allows one to to eat low calories and be satisfied and keeps protein high

it just isnt cutting the carbs that are causing the fat loss, its the lower calories. we know this for a fact

we also know highly processed and highly palatable foods cause the release of the enzyme sDDP-4 into the adipose tissue. we know that enzyme suppressed the release of GLP-1 and GIP.

we also know certain whole foods suppress the release of sDDP-4.

and its being looked at if that is why those that stick to a keto style diet tend to lower caloric intake without tracking but dont have the subsequent lowering of NEAT.

i do think 50g is a good starting point. gets you some veggies and some berries. but im also a big advocate of the vertical diet, use of white rice and potatoes to allow one to be full and have the energy needed. also use advocate of pomegranate juice too for heart health.

You don’t need carbs to ‘perform’ or ‘recover’ or ‘grow’ or any other word you can think of. You need carbs or fats. The whole point of a ketogenic diet is to use fats for energy not carbs hence why some go as low as 15 or 20 grams a day or even zero grams of carbs because they are getting their energy from fats. Some people work better using fats instead of carbs there is no right or wrong answer as everyone is different you only need one or the other not both.
