Keto Carb Counting
🥦 Keto Carb Counting Made Simple — Stay in Ketosis with Confidence
If you want to succeed on keto, carb counting isn’t optional — it’s essential. Staying in ketosis requires keeping carbs low enough for your body to switch from burning sugar to burning fat for fuel. Here’s how to do it simply and effectively.
Why Counting Carbs Matters
The keto “sweet spot” is typically 20–50 grams of net carbs per day. Go higher and your body will slip out of ketosis, slowing fat-burning and stalling results. Learning the carb content of whole foods makes meal planning easier and helps you avoid hidden carbs.
