Even increasing that number to 100g carbs a day kind of ruins that diet. The under 10g carbs a day has worked very well for me. Just remember, stay hydrated! =p

    The problem with grams is that everyone has different needs. So It only works as a guide. It is easier to calibrate a keto diet with a real ketone sensor. (Available at any pharmacy, used by diabetics.) Specifically increase carbs until ketosis stops then drop say 20% for margin. There's your value. Check every now and then.
