ive been on a diet for awhile now but since sunday i started a low carb diet where i consume less than 20 carbs a day so my question is can i eat around 35 carbs once a week without it effecting my ketosis and overall diet?

Since unused sugar turns into fat and carbs turn into sugar, yes… low carb diets work very well, thank you. I lost 30 lbs in the first two months and 15 more in the next two. I’m now at my ‘ideal’ weight, and feel great. Don’t look too bad, either.
Don’t believe the previous post… it’s permanent as long as you stay with it. There’s no need not to if you’re getting the proper nutrients.
’nuff said?

How do you calculate the carbohydrates in food? I know that you have to back out the fiber from the total, and also the sugar alchohol. But most of the nutritional information on packages says, ’sugars’ not ’sugar alchohol’. Is it the same thing?

I already eat little to no bread and pasta. The only grains I eat are whole grains. It seems like there are carbs in everything though. I dont eat meat.

Should you eat protein in the morning or whenever you exercise to build muscle? And have low carbs when you’re not exercising?
Is that how it is to be on a high protein/low carb diet. If not, please tell me the right how to diet.

all diets work, but this paragraph shows the problem with organized, marketed diets, and provides a solution, along with exercise tips:
Excercise- DO NOT do anything tedious or you will lose interest FAST. find something you love to do and stick with it. I cannot run on the track by myself because i find it too boring, and eventually i hate it and want to skip it. same goes for running on a treadmill, or doing simple workouts alone (pushups, crunches, lunges). Find something like xc trail running, rock climbing, road biking or mountain biking. Serious roadies (dont have to be a racer) can eat pretty much anything they want, since they burn it all up cycling 100-200 miles a week or even more depending on your program. The trick is to find something you love, that way you want to do it. And when you know that running on the track or doing pushups will help you get better in that activity, you wont mind doing it.
Food- dont do any special diet or what not. You see all the europeans are skinny and we wonder why. it is because they simply dont eat as much as we do. hamburgers, hot dogs were both invented in Germany. the French are pastry gods, and the Italians eat heavy ice cream (gelato). They simply dont eat as much. A steak for them is half your hand, while children here eat 1/4 pounders. True what you eat matters, but not as much as how much you eat. By all means, dont eat junk food or drink soda, and if you must, dont eat all of it. And dont start eating half portions all at once, slowly adjust yourself to it, eating one or two less bites each meal each day, for example. Dont belive any of these hyped up diet fads, they all work, but can you really live like that for the rest of your life? making your body adjust to smaller portions is somethign you can live with, because you will be full and cant eat whole burger anymore. Before this golden age of advertising, we americans were thin too. but since then, mc donalds has taken over, followed by diet programs. do you really think they people who write those books or make those meals want you to be not fat? No, thats why they make a series of books, and sell those foods, because you cant live like that forever. You will get skinny, and then boom, you will slip and become fat again, thinking that this worked before, lets do it again and the cycle contintues.
Simply find an activity you love, and eat less.

I’m trying to start a low carb diet but I’m worried about the possible health risks of it. I keep hearing many different things, some say its safe, others say its not. I just don’t want to develop liver or kidney problems from eating low carb.
